Adani Group forays into industrial 5G space

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 02 Aug 2022, 09:23 pm

Ahmedabad: Adani Data Networks Ltd (ADNL) has acquired the right to use 400MHz of spectrum in the 26GHz millimetre wave band.

ADNL secured this spectrum for 20 years in the first ever 5G spectrum auction conducted by the   Telecommunications Department of the government, a statement from the company said.

The newly-acquired 5G spectrum is expected to help create a unified digital platform that will accelerate the pace and scale of the Adani Group’s digitisation of its core infrastructure, primary industry and B2C business portfolio.

Acquiring 400MHz of spectrum is the Group’s first step in integrating its digital infrastructure portfolio, which includes data centers, terrestrial fibre and submarine cables, industrial cloud, AI innovation labs, cybersecurity and SuperApps.

“We must compliment the transparent and efficient process of this first 5G multi-band multi-round multi-player spectrum auction. It is a great manifestation of the digital expertise our government brings in the journey to an Atmanirbhar Bharat. 5G solves our nation’s connectivity needs in unprecedented ways and will be crucial in helping us prepare the IT infrastructure we need for the future,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group.

“The Adani Group’s foray into the industrial 5G space will allow our portfolio companies to offer a set of new add on services that capitalizes on all the other digital segments we are building. Given that our portfolio is a highly distributed asset-intensive investment that are all being revolutionized by sensorisation and fast becoming IoT enabled, we believe the next data surge will be created more by machines than by people as all devices get interconnected. This data will need to be streamed, stored, processed, and analysed by other machines in real time and this capability will change every single industry," he said.

"It will help build a set of services that the market cannot even fully conceptualize today. This volume will be exponentially higher and generated at the edges, especially in a country like India, where the Tier 2 and 3 cities are witnessing the fastest all-round growth," Adani added.
