Rising Digital Transformation Across SME's Boosts Asia Pacific 2G & 3G Switch Off Market

According to research by the industry association Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), small and medium-sized (SMEs) firms have been adopting digital technology for various purposes. Specifically, 60% of SMEs use it for human resources, 51% for sales and marketing, and 48% for finance. The study also showed that the most popular digital tools used by SMEs were accounting software (Tally, Vyapar, Busy, etc.) and business apps such as ERP and CRM. Thus, several manufacturers across the globe are adopting digital transformation. Numerous production enterprises in the Chinese city of Foshan are transforming their businesses using 5G, the cloud, and other digital technologies. Midea, Huawei, and China Unicom Guangdong are cooperating to give these small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) the 5G connection and IT infrastructure required to increase efficiency and production significantly.

The implementation of Foshan City's action plan for digital transformation and upgrading the Foshan manufacturing industry, launched in July 2021, is made possible by Unicom Guangdong's 5G, cloud, and MEC infrastructure. According to the plan, Foshan will fund the digital transformation of industrial businesses with an investment of 10 billion yuan (US$ 1.48 billion) over the next three years. To accelerate the digital transformation of 3,000 manufacturing businesses, Foshan plans to construct "50 digital benchmark factories" and "100 digital benchmark workshops" by the end of 2023. Thus, such rising digital transformation across SMEs creates opportunities for using higher networks and switching off the 2G and 3G networks.
