Global Wavenet CEO Suren Pinto was invited to speak at Asia’s largest 5G conference, Digital Transformation Asia 2019 in Malaysia. The three-day event is a must-attend for organisations in the global ICT industry looking to take advantage of the 5G opportunity.
The Wavenet CEO, together with other international telco specialists such as Singtel VP Technology Strategy and Transformation Cheng Choon Si, Wirpro Practice Head Innovation and Industry Relations V. Devadatta, Huawei Director Data Lake Service John Zhou and TM Forum Director Micheal Lawre hosted the panel discussion on 12 November titled ‘Charting a path towards the network of the future’.
The topic addressed questions on designing dynamic network infrastructure driven by analytics, addressed data challenges, automation, AI and 5G which will drive network transformation in the future. Questions were posed on what investments were needed across networks and which of these could be future-proofed. The panel also discussed making the transition into a software-defined and Opex-driven network model, and on what is needed to support network slicing and edge computing.
The event was organised by the international TM Forum which is the professional industry body that represents service providers and suppliers in the telecommunications industry. The framework standard operated by TM forum enables CSPs and suppliers to rapidly transform business operations, IT systems and the telco ecosystems, enabling CSPs to capitalise on the opportunities presented in a rapidly evolving digital world.
Wavenet CEO Suren Pinto who spearheads the strategic business direction of the company stated on this occasion, “The biggest trend we see in the industry is the IT-fication of telecoms. This means that there needs to be a fundamental shift in the mindset for CSP’s and a level of business agility that does not exist today. We as Wavenet are at the cross section of this IT and Telecoms transformation given our roots as an IT and software company with deep domain expertise in telecoms and networks. We help our CSP customers by building the tools and systems required to bridge this gap and enable them to not merely digitise their systems, but digitalise their business.”

Nitin says, “5G opportunity can be realised with relevant customer centric use-cases that deliver strong benefits for CSPs and motivate them to prioritise 5G investments.
