Apart from mobile broadband, 5G in India has a big market for enterprise applications and mission-critical services, which is definitely an area that needs to be explored and developed further, said Nitin Bansal, Managing Director of Ericsson India and Head-Networks for South East Asia, Oceania, and India.

In an exclusive conversation with ANI on the sidelines of the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025, Bansal spoke about Ericsson’s contribution to India’s 5G rollout and the company’s strong focus on local manufacturing, research, and innovation.

Talking about the current use of 5G in India, Bansal noted that it is primarily being used for mobile broadband and fixed wireless access.

However, he believes that the next phase of growth will come from enterprise applications and mission-critical solutions.
