Preparing India’s communications networks to support AI
India is witnessing a significant shift in how networks are built, scaled and operated. For years, the telecom conversation has been centered on wireless rollout milestones. According to the Department of Telecommunications, 5G is now live across 773 of India’s 776 districts, with more than 250,000 sites deployed within twelve months of launch, making it one of the fastest national rollouts anywhere in the world.
Today, even as 5G network buildouts continue, the strategic focus is evolving toward a different infrastructure priority: building networks for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud workloads.
