Business Review: Telco industry struggles to find new profits in 5G technology

The future growth of telecommunication companies around the world will be affected by their ability to create and own seamless customer experiences, according to Mazars’ recent Future of Telcos study. The study looks at the forces at play in the battle to win the customer experience and how important is 5G to the future of telcos’ growth, according to Business-Review.eu

When discussing mobile technology and its great leaps forward, it can be easy to forget how far we’ve already come and, more specifically, what is making it possible. Seemingly overnight we have moved into the 5G era without recognizing what such transition promises.

A line to the future: how 5G is opening up opportunities for telcos

Contrary to what its name suggests, 5G is much more than an incremental change from previous network technologies. While 3G introduced us to mobile technology and 4G made us comfortable with its applications, 5G stands to reshape our lives in and out of the office entirely.

Why? 5G enables data transfers at record speed while shrinking latency – the time it takes for information to arrive and get back from the terminal equipment – to almost zero. As a result, the devices already in our hands will be supercharged to fulfill our every demand – think autonomous vehicles and smart homes.

Considering the Romanian market, technological challenges will have a significant influence on how the local operators will continue their business development. The introduction of the 5G network will increase the downloading speed from an average of 89 seconds/GB for 4G technology and 25 seconds/GB for 4G+ technology to only 8 seconds/GB for the new 5G technology.
“The ability to cope with the introduction of the 5G network on the Romanian mobile data market will have a significant impact on the retention of old clients and attracting new ones. Starting mid-2019, the most important operators on the Romanian market have already introduced the necessary 5G infrastructure. For the moment, Orange has the most extensive network covering Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca and Iasi with its 5G infrastructure. One of the main advantages of the adoption of 5G technology is the significant reduction in costs which in turn might lead to rising net income margins,” said Ella Chilea, Partner, Audit & Assurance Services, Mazars Romania.
