According to Oppo India’s Vice President of R&D, Tasleem Arif,“India is a promising market when it comes to the roll out of 5G. India’s new National Digital Communications Policy (NDCP) presents a positive vision for the industry and country, with the goal of creating the digital infrastructure that supports the next generation of digital services”.
The company is believed to have already started work onits 5G offeringsin the country at its Hyderabad R&D facility, and according to Arif, will bring its 5G smartphones and IoT products to India as soon as 5G networks are up and running in the country. Unfortunately, however, there’s no telling when that might happen, with recent reports suggesting that itmight take several yearsbefore the technology is fully deployed in the country.
Meanwhile, Oppo further announced plans to invest about $7 billion over the next three years to increase its presence in India. According to the company, its R&D efforts in the country will include“building core technologies in hardware and software as well as frontier innovations such as such as 5G/6G, big data, cloud computing and augmented reality (AR)”.
