"One of the key advantages of modular infrastructure is the acceleration of deployment timelines. Prefabricated modules can reduce roll-out durations by up to 50 per cent, compared to traditional construction approaches. Beyond speed, modular deployments enable a structured ex*****on process where each component is pre-engineered, pre-tested and built to align with standards. This significantly reduces on-site complexity, mitigates risk and enhances predictability." - Dr AS Prasad, Vice-President, Product Management and Engineering, Vertiv

"As data from sensors, devices and machines multiplies, centralised AI architectures can’t always keep up with the speed, privacy and resiliency required. Edge AI processes data locally, on-device or near the source, to enable instant decisions, minimise latency and reduce dependency on connectivity. In sectors where every millisecond matters, such as autonomous driving, smart manufacturing or healthcare diagnostics, edge AI ensures that intelligence stays close to the action." - Sushant Rabra, Partner and Head, Digital Strategy and Transformation, KPMG

According to the minister of state for communications and rural development, satellite communication (satcom) services are not expected to pose a competitive threat to India’s existing telecom operators owing to higher tariffs and constraints in subscriber base and data speeds. The minister attributed this to the limited capacity available with satellite service providers, noting that when distributed across the country, each district could only accommodate approximately 40,000 to 50,000 connections.

"Smart Wi-Fi does not have a one-size-fits-all approach — it learns and evolves to the rhythms, usage patterns, and device composition of each home. The remarkable thing about smart Wi-Fi is how unremarkable it feels when it’s working well. There is no need to fiddle with settings, no frustration of a buffering stream, and no anxiety about which device is hogging bandwidth. It fades into the background, quietly orchestrating the connected life we’ve come to expect — and increasingly rely on." - Naveen Nahar, Vice President, Marketing, ACT Fibernet
