July 19,2019,Philippines—Over the years, the telecommunications sector has gone through plenty of significant changes due to the ever-increasing complex global manufacturing industry along with the pressures from the fierce competition and changing consumer demands. The technological advancements in telecommunications sector started with the 1G system which was introduced by Nordic Mobile Telephony (NMT) in 1982, and was followed by 2G in 1992. 3G was then launched in 2001 which allowed mobile data to become a mainstream service. Currently, 4G, which was deployed in 2012, is still in use by most developing markets with 5G on the way for early to mid-2020s. 

From simply connecting places and then connecting people from faraway locations, global technology solutions in the telecommunications sector are now capable of connecting every single thing with every single human being, shaping a seamless world for the future. However, such new global technology solutions, which are being introduced on an average of 10 years, are also introducing problems and challenges to the sector. 

Here are some of the things you can expect from the future of telecommunications equipment creation.

Capabilities

The telecommunications sector has gone beyond just pure voice communications. From conveying voice over distance, it now has the capability to digitally transfer other kinds of data such as photos and videos over distance as well. 

The introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT), which is the extension of Internet connectivity into physical devices and other objects, is also continuously changing the landscape of the telecommunications sector. In fact, according to the State of the IoT 2018 report by IoT Analytics from last year, the global connection growth is mainly driven by IoT devices. Moreover, they also stated that the number of IoT devices is expected to grow to 10 billion by 2020 and 22 billion by 2025. 

This increased connectivity will open doors for a quantum leap in technological advancements. It will also open investment opportunities in various sectors such as cloud services and cybersecurity, as well as outside the telecommunications sector, including connected and autonomous vehicles, smart homes and cities, eCommerce, and even alternate energy. 

Wireless Connectivity

Wireless technology is no longer a foreign concept today with smartphones, laptops, and other wireless connection-abled devices already in the market. It has made the use of telephones that uses wires to transmit signals almost obsolete. Wireless technology also made it possible to make calls and reach anyone anytime anywhere. 

Considering all the benefits of wireless connectivity along with the advancement of IoT, a quick look into the future should easily show you that the telecommunications sector will further improve and empower this technology, starting with the upcoming 5G that is designed to be an  efficient mobile network that can support up to 100 connected devices over a 1,000x bandwidth per-unit area simultaneously, and offer a continuous wide-area coverage that can handle nomatic-data access speeds of up to 10 GBPS.

The future will be a myriad of wireless links connected to a fiber optic cable with a latency of only 1 to 10 milliseconds, limited only by the speed of light.

Challenges

There will be no stopping to the influx of global technology solutions being introduced at a rapid rate, and that is a challenge the telecommunications sector, especially the resurging EMS Manufacturing in the Philippines, must face from today to the future. 

They must actively invest in new technologies while managing, controlling, and ensuring the quality of new telecommunications devices. Additionally, it is also very important that they can handle and even surpass their customers’ expectations.

Considering the history and track record of the industry, however, there is nothing much to worry about. The future of telecommunications equipment creation is filled with nothing but excitement.
