| | June 20184CIOReviewEditorialAdvent of new technologies has brought new challenges and opportunities for the telecom industry. With models like software-as-a-service gaining popularity in a lot of sectors, telecom players are looking to take advantage of these developments by improving their data infrastructure. The telecom ecosystem expects IoT to become a critical engine for future growth. These growth opportunities include the connected consumer and the broader universe of connected things with applications such as connected home monitoring and control, entertainment, wearables, and more. In addition, the connected enterprise market features applications such as connected vehicle fleets, predictive maintenance, factory automation, workforce training and field support, and countless other examples. Each of these will dramatically broaden the reach of wireless for consumers and business users. Looking beyond IoT, many telecom carriers are looking to potentially enter the media space through M&A deals, partnerships, alliances, and the like. Mobile content and video are some of most significant consumer use cases for 5G, so expansion into the content arena is only natural for carriers seeking growth. Network providers are striving to make 5G a reality as soon as possible. Telcos around the world have already developed 5G architecture and have initiated the lab and field trials for the basic connectivity elements in their race to gain a competitive advantage in the market. The promise of 5G ­ more speed, greater efficiency and less latency - will be a major push for connected things in the future. It is expected to be an enabler of next generation IoT and M2M applications such as augmented reality and self-driven vehicles. In this issue, CIOReview India has come up with a list of most promising companies who have proved their mettle in this domain with their innovative offerings.
