At HCLTech, we aim to enable a 5G ready world
A world of limitless possibilities
Realizing the transformative potential of digital connectivity, we began investing in 5G as early as 2016. With a strong focus in making next-gen experiences and connectivity possible for our customers and partners, we have adopted an evolutionary approach from 4G to 5G.
Our domain expertise and in-depth understanding of technology trends enabled us to make early investments in key 5G technologies and create highly differentiated offerings and solutions in Core Network, RAN, and Management & Applications. To meet fast-paced technology demands in the 5G ecosystem of the near future, we have also invested significantly in trainings and lab infrastructure for IP development, and provide resources to enhance our partners’ 5G portfolio.

A fluid 5G future
Uber-fast
Ultra-efficient
Ubiquitous
As a technology partner of our customers, we aim to usher in a connectivity revolution which makes 5G uber-fast (high-speed connectivity), ultra-efficient (reliability & latency), and ubiquitous (massive machine-to-machine communications), for the ecosystem of the next decade.
We have envisaged a future where 5G will play a pivotal role in driving economic growth and pervasive digitalization of a hyper-connected society. To make this possible, we are building upon core components of 5G technology, to develop a sustainable environment, generate value, and enable a "fluid 5G future" for our key stakeholders.
5G driven industry transformation
5G will play a crucial role in the entire value chain of industry transformation, chiefly driven by automation, cloudification and virtualization. We, at HCLTech, see this transformation as a change agent for business models, bringing about newer opportunities across industries.
Combining 5G challenges and trends and translating them into opportunities, we have a Migrate-Modernize-Monetize (3M) strategy to accelerate 5G transformation. We migrate your network assets and infrastructure to make them 5G compatible, modernize your network operations and legacy architecture, and finally help you monetize on the opportunities created through 5G revolution.
Our 360° services catalogue for 5G includes solution building blocks and use-cases across the entire technology lifecycle – design, development, testing, optimization and support.
