Fifth generation (5G) telecom technologies will be as transformational as the internet for the economy, a top executive of VMware said. This is because of the opportunity it will provide for a number of applications and the uses it will generate once 5G is deployed fully. “5G is going to be the big driver of innovation and transformation in the industry, also in terms of use cases and how it impacts the larger economy,” Pradeep Nair, managing director of VMware India told ET.
