The challenge of densification

More than 700 million people living in cities across India depend on their smartphones to connect to the internet for work, leisure, education, medical support and more.
In recent years, mobile data usage has exploded in India’s urban centres: in 2021, demand for 4G data increased by 31%. Currently the average consumption is 17Gb per user per month and growing. With the move to 5G, demand for data will increase at an even faster pace.
