Bharti Airtel and Tech Mahindra have announced a strategic partnership to deploy a 5G captive private network at Mahindra’s Chakan manufacturing facility. According to the company, Mahindra’s Chakan facility has become India’s first 5G enabled auto manufacturing unit.
According to the telecom company, the ‘5G for Business’ solution has significantly improved Chakan’s network connectivity, resulting in faster software flashing, a critical operation for all vehicular dispatches. Because of the high speeds and ultra-low latency, managers can now perform multiple software flashing sessions in parallel, resulting in a shorter operation turnaround time.
Furthermore, the computerised vision-based inspection is now fully automated, resulting in higher paint quality.
Bharti Airtel stated that its industry-leading integrated connectivity portfolio of #5GforBusiness, as well as Tech Mahindra’s industry knowledge to provide specialised services to customers, proven system integration capabilities, 5G enterprise solutions capabilities such as Factory.NXT, and domain expertise in planning, designing, deploying, and managing private wireless networks for enterprises, will benefit enterprise customers and accelerate the adoption of transformative network technologies like 5G in India.
“Our collaboration with Airtel aims to improve customer experience by utilizing digitally powered new-age platforms and solutions. We are confident that this collaboration will assist in unlocking opportunities across industries to improve productivity, drive intelligent network-led enterprise digitalization, and spur innovation”, Tech Mahindra stated.
