Harshvendra Soin, President – Asia Pacific and Japan Business, Tech Mahindra, said, “Manufacturers and enterprises are constantly seeking new ways to enhance operational efficiency and build more resilient processes. 5G technology can unlock new levels of innovation and productivity, paving the way for a more connected and efficient future. Our robust market presence, close ties with telcos, communication partners, and extensive expertise in global 5G4E rollout will successfully provide IT and network services to Pegatron." 

Tech Mahindra's 5G4E transformation programs will also provide insights for Pegatron to refine its portfolio, considering geographic, industrial, user, technological, and regulatory factors, especially in the APJI region.  

The collaboration will also focus on enhancing digital resilience for disaster response and improving communication in disaster-prone or remote areas. Additionally, it aims to support first-line disaster relief units with energy-efficient solutions utilising 5G Radio Access Network and satellite communication technology.
