Telecom Equipments

Telecommunications equipment is hardware used for the purposes of telecommunications. Since the 1990s the boundary between telecoms equipment and IT hardware has become blurred as a result of the growth of the internet and its increasing role in the transfer of telecoms data. It is universally agreed that telecommunications contributes significantly to the overall socio-economic development of the country, and that the development of a modern nation to its full potential in the contemporary world can never be attained without modern telecommunication services. Developing a modern, reliable and robust telecommunication system needs availability of state-of-the-art telecommunication equipment. For a cost sensitive market, it is important to make available telecom equipment at a cost which would help build networks that can sustain large volumes at low per user revenues. This could be achieved through innovation and large scale manufacture of products based on new technologies that would help build cost effective networks.
