5G Technologies enters Indian market

Chennai-based product deve­lop­ment and solutions provider Fifth Generation
Technologies, also known as 5G Tech has entered the Indian market after catering
to the US customers for almost five years. So far 5G Tech has only been
developing products in India through their R&D setup. They have manifested their
entry into the Indian market through the launch of their new product-Enterprise
Maintenance Gateway, a business intelligence (BI) solution for huge
manu­facturing industries, and is looking for tie-ups with software partners,
system integrators (SIs) and product partners who are focused on manufacturing
industries.

Ananth Seshan, Chairman and MD, 5G Tech shared, “We need a good distribution
system for taking forward our products and are looking at the partnership model.
That is why we have planned to tie-up with large SIs and software partners and
product partners, whose product works complimentary with our product.”

Recently 5G Tech tied up with IBM for their newly developed manufacturing
intelligence product enterprise maintenance gateway (EMG) that delivers
real-time enterprise asset manage­ment to manufacturing companies globally.

He noted that the adoption of technology and the infrastructure in India as
few challenges for intelligence solutions to gain momentum in the Indian market.
Seshan also feels that Indian market is very price sensitive. “The new solutions
that enter into the market should adapt to the existing constraints and cost
factors. Indian manufacturers have unique constraints and are very price
sensitive. However, they can also adapt to latest technologies if the automation
providers are putting some thought,” Seshan averred.
