The report states Southeast Asias 5G outlook stays bleak in the short term despite firm tech associations

December 13, 2022: -The Tech Mahindra-Axiata Group Berhad partnership may support the acceleration of 5G in Southeast Asia. Still, the short-term outlook for the industry is “bleak,” Fitch Solutions stated in a country by risking and industry research report.

In the previous week, Indian IT and consulting firm Tech Mahindra and Malaysian telco conglomerate Axiata Group Berhad inked a deal to develop and commercialize 5G enterprise outcomes in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Cambodia.

“We believe this is a promising partnership as it combines Tech Mahindra’s 5G enterprise solutions capabilities with Axiata’s expertise in mobile connectivity, the infrastructure of the network and product service,” added Fitch Solutions.

In Bangladesh, for instance, Fitch Solutions does not anticipate significant 5G adoption over the coming 18-24 months due to expensive mobile phones and complete-generation services.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka is battling a slump, fuel shortages and extended power outages.

“This is leading to a contraction of the economy, and we anticipate the wider technology market to face huge pressures that will effectively cripple the sector. These factors will be on the investment returns of 5G deployment and discourage further meaningful funding,” the report said.

But there is an increase in demand for 5G services, which could guide the growth operational efficiency for the firms, like supporting better crop yield to predict or climate control in agriculture.

In the previous week, Axiata Group Berhad, Telenor Asia and Malaysian telco provide Digi completed the merger of telco operations to create Celcom Digi.

Fitch Solutions said the merger would likely support Axiata’s better take on rival Telekom Malaysia in the enterprise connectivity market.

Celcom Digi invested up to 250 million Malaysian ringgit over five years to build an innovation centre in Kuala Lumpur to support the adoption of the internet of the areas, artificial intelligence, cloud computes and 5G in the area.

Tristar Coatings | Transforming The Painting Industry With Innovation | Svetlana Melkova

There are many challenges facing the painting and coating industry today, and the pandemic just added fuel to the fire. These include raw material shortages and the globalization of the painting and coating market. Other challenges include increasing regulations due to environmental concerns and increasing manufacturing costs and raw materials. Ontario-based Tristar Coatings has been able to leverage its extensive knowledge base and highly skilled chemists to provide the solutions today’s organizations need in the time they require it most. In overarching terms, customer performance requirements can mean increasing product output whilst streamlining the process in which that product is manufactured. This can come in the form of preparing the substrate before the painting process (whether that be with physical or chemical cleaning) or actual product modifications to prevent or promote certain properties in the coating (such as adhesion, corrosion protection, film build, UV resistance, etc.), but Tristar has it all.
