Tata Communications has launched a dedicated Private 5G Global Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Pune, India to accelerate Industry 4.0 applications and capabilities for enterprises. The new CoE is an agile, secure, indoor facility designed to test and trial industry use cases.

Tata Communications has developed use cases across automotive, metals and mining, airports and seaports, manufacturing, logistics and healthcare sectors and will be well positioned to enable global enterprises to seamlessly progress into the hyperconnected world. With trials underway, Tata Communications will be able to demonstrate private 5G use cases including automated quality inspection of equipment using video and image analytics, inventory management and asset tracking, warehouse theft detection, AR/VR-based remote worker collaboration, and video-powered retail purchase, to name a few.

Tata Communications is following robust measures, including interoperability tests to assess compatibility of its private network with different devices and, rigorous monitoring and testing to ensure stable connectivity throughout the test duration at the CoE.

“5G has the transformative power to be a game changer for all. We are encouraged and excited about leveraging this technology to enable the future of enterprises and economies,” said Mysore Madhusudhan, executive vice president, Collaboration and Connected Solutions, Tata Communications. “Early test results in our Global Centre of Excellence have proved to be very positive providing an evolutionary path towards Industry 4.0 scenarios to varied industries.
