The 5G networks offer manufacturers and telecom operators the opportunity to take advantage of technologies such as automation and artificial intelligence to build smart factories.

The launch of 5G will improve the lives of common people, improve the quality of life of the people of Manipur and generate much-needed employment opportunities which can generate revenue for the state as well.
