Moreover, the growing need for easily maintained network systems that can enable effective communications across multiple end-user industries, including healthcare, retail, and manufacturing, is evident. For instance, the advent of cost-effective cloud-based solutions has seen increased adoption by healthcare providers, which are often categorized as having minimum IT budgets.
• With the outbreak of COVID-19, the telecom industry witnessed a significant increase in demand for internet services due to a major chunk of the population staying at home due to remote working conditions.
