A continuous thrust to produce the high technology IT and Telecom Network Elements and devices here in India is creating T&M opportunities in FY 16 and beyond.Whether it is local home grown mobile devices manufacturer or the Apple outsourcer Fox Conn all are curious about India.The chief reason being they want to operate as closely as possible to the 970 million mobile customer base as possible.There are at least 160 Smartphones connections and in equal numbers are the net connection users.Both the factors are helping the general aggregator industry-including e Commerce grow well here.Obviously we can see sliding price points and so the competitive local manufacturing as the time passes.
One of the possible outfall of competition locally is the proliferation of Eastern Manufacturers from China, Taiwan, and Korea in the consumer markets.This requires that the local authorities ensure the consumers better quality safety and competitive prices.A big quality test center becomes the pre requisite to ensure hardware,software and malware are tested and certified before shipping to the customers.The labs are to be supported by the user department and often funded by the telecom/IT entity overseeing them.
Malware/Spyware related testing is important for network elements and devices originating from China .Western manufacturers are slightly safe from that criticism because of long presence in telecom sector and their installed base.New upstart companies from China and also from Taiwan will face the initial hiccups and therefore a quality assurance setup supported by the parent telecom ministry will be helpful.Let us also ensure necessary test gear to check quality,safety and other standards are managed through these test centers.We derive good opportunities here to sell the T&M services and other hardware related to testing.Watch this space for more.
