Towards this, we are building the Internet of the future based on silicon, optics and software, called Silicon One. This programmable networking chip is designed to improve performance, bandwidth, power efficiency, scalability and flexibility. We have globally committed $5 billion (India will receive a part of it) in funding to help build 5G networks over the next three years. Presently, we have more than 125 active engagements with global customers on 5G.More Related News
