5G and Telecom Equipment: The New Frontier for Dixon, Optiemus, and Micromax
Unveiling a New Market
5G is transforming the landscape as Dixon Technologies, Optiemus Infracom, and Micromax's subsidiary, Bhagwati Products, venture into telecom equipment manufacturing. This strategic shift comes as the demand for high-tech routers and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) is on the rise, escalated by the growing need for reliable internet solutions. The Indian government, through its production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, aims to position India as a global hub for telecom equipment, facilitating this shift.
Strategic Growth in Telecom
- Dixon leads the charge as the largest domestic EMS brand, reporting significant revenue growth from telecom manufacturing.
- Currently, the company is mass-producing 5G fixed wireless access devices, catering primarily to Nokia and further expanding its capabilities.
As the telecom sector burgeons, both Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel are pushing the envelope for 5G services, thus driving demand for CPEs and routers.
Tapping into Opportunities Amidst Global Shifts
The absence of Chinese manufacturers like Huawei and ZTE has opened new avenues for Indian firms. Optiemus, in collaboration with Taiwanese firms, is poised to capitalize on this gap.
- Optiemus is currently engaged with numerous OEMs to enhance its telecom equipment portfolio.
- Micromax is gearing up to apply for more PLI benefits, aiming for significant growth in the sector.
Overall, the trajectory towards self-sufficiency and increased export potential marks a pivotal moment for India's telecom equipment industry.
