India can formulate its own Customised 5G or 4G+ technology India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) estimates India’s total wireless data usage to reach 13 exabytes/month by 2025 (5x of 1Q18 data usage). The existing technology is inadequate to meet such high data demand; therefore, a judicious mix of fiberisation and 5G roll-out will be required. India can formulate its own customised 5G or 4G+ technology than adopting global standards for 5G in toto to focus on improving user experience or cater to evolving enterprise requirement, while avoiding critical applications requiring ultra-low latency. From the spectrum band perspective, a judicious mix of 700 megahertz (MHz) and C band (3.4-3.6 gigahertz; GHz) would be ideal, as it would ensure wider coverage and provide good capacity. From the network infrastructure perspective, hotspot devices with 3G/4G compatibility will take precedence over handsets in 5G deployment. Also, Indian telcos need to adopt similar tec...

Traditionally strong in large stone manufacturing, relinquishing positions to India Four strategies to sustain in Cutting and Polishing! Healthy growth in the diamond jewelry retail market supported a 2% increase in cutting and polishing revenue, putting the segment on positive ground in 2017.

To sustain profitability, cutting and polishing companies are focusing on four strategies: managing inventory levels, shortening production cycles, optimizing yields and expanding operations.  Technology is leading improvements in the cutting and polishing segment, from digitally mapping and modeling stones to automating cutting processes.  Because of its low labor costs, favorable regu...
