In a hyper-connected India, Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to reach an estimated 2 billion connections, according to a joint study by Assocham-EY. The joint report highlights that while India holds huge potential, this promising market currently lags behind the US, China and South Korea in connectivity via the optical fiber. As demand for 4G and subsequently 5G grows, networks will become "denser and deeper" making fiberisation an imperative, the study said.
