Robots and the Future of Telecommunications Resellers and Agents for Wireless Telecommunication Services
Overview
The future of telecommunications resellers and agents in the wireless domain is set to be significantly influenced by the increasing use of robots. These innovative technology marvels are poised to revolutionize various aspects of telecommunications, from improving efficiency and performance, reducing downtime, to increasing safety levels.
Future Applications of Robots in Telecommunication Industry
The arrival of Industry 4.0 has paved the way for robots and automation in telecommunications. Recent studies indicate that by 2025, the global market for telecommunication robots is expected to grow by 68%. Robotics has the potential to redefine the wireless telecommunications marketplace, from installation, maintenance to inspections. It's estimated that telecommunication companies lose around $27 billion annually due to outages and unplanned maintenance works. With robots, these enterprises could save around 13-18% of those loses, improving efficiency and productivity.
Implications for Telecommunication Resellers and Agents
Telecommunication agents and resellers' roles will evolve significantly with the integration of robotics. As per reports, over 36% of telecommunications businesses already use robot process automation for better outcomes. With AI-powered chatbots and interactive IVR systems, administrative tasks of agents will reduce, giving them more time to invest in complex problem-solving and decision-making processes. Moreover, autonomous robots can perform time-consuming tasks such as tower inspections, reducing human error chances, and increasing operational safety.
Key Implications for Wireless Services
The influx of robots in the wireless sector implies a shift towards AI-driven customer interactions. A report from Oracle states that nearly 80% of businesses will be using chatbots by 2025, ensuring real-time, accurate customer service. Another revelation is the increasing use of drones for inspections; according to PwC, drones can reduce tower inspection costs by almost 50%. This innovation fuels faster and more efficient wireless services, propelling growth in this sector.
Crucial Challenges and Solutions Involving Safety Standards
As robots become prevalent, safety concerns become of paramount importance. It's expected that the demand for robotics safety will be a key consideration, with the global robot safety market projected to reach $4.5 billion by 2023. Solutions such as 3Laws’ innovative software can enhance safety and reliability for robotic systems, ensuring safety compliance with ISO 3691-4 and ISO 26262 while improving efficiency.
