Leading telecommunications engineering and infrastructure services provider Spectrum Global Solutions Inc. (OTCQB: SGSI) is targeting a massive market that analysts project will require an infusion of more than $150 billion in fiber infrastructure over the next five to seven years. As a full-service provider, Spectrum Global has the capability to upgrade, install and maintain next-generation telecommunication networks, including the highly anticipated deployment of a nationwide 5G network (http://ibn.fm/MceyM).
In an interview on The RedChip Money Report, a television program that delivers commentary on small-cap investing, financial book reviews and executive interviews, Spectrum Global President Keith Hayter emphasized the company’s abilities as a comprehensive, single-source services solutions provider.
“Telecommunications is going through a technology evolution and explosion that’s continuing through 2025, and we’re just at the beginning of that now,” Hayter said during the interview that aired January 16 on Bloomberg International (http://ibn.fm/QqYyL). “With this explosion in technology and the need to expand telecommunication network infrastructure, resources companies such as ours are in short demand, so that creates a need there that we can fulfill. We have the full service offering that allows us to plan, design, construct, install and maintain the networks. That’s a long-life cycle of services that we can provide.”
In its 2018 look at the telecommunications industry, Deloitte notes that there is a heavy investment demand related to the core fiber network to support anticipated growth in data services related to 5G. Carriers also have the ever-present obligation to continue to update legacy IT systems, particularly as they expand into new areas (http://ibn.fm/5O2j1). Deloitte projects a fourfold increase in mobile data traffic in the U.S. between 2016 and 2021, suggesting an investment of $130 billion to $150 billion could be required over the next several years to adequately support broadband competition, rural coverage and wireless densification (http://ibn.fm/6xYWX).
“The market opportunity is immense with over $1.5 trillion going to be spent on telecommunications,” Hayter told The RedChip Money Report. “For deployment services, which is where we primarily fit in and get our revenue streams, from $150 billion to $200 billion will be spent over the next couple of years. Again, once you extrapolate that through 2025, that’s an immense opportunity for us.”
5G wireless networks promise better performance for urban and rural customers, including increased data speed and responsiveness. A fully-functioning 5G network would be a game-changer in the way that higher education and other businesses use, manage and set up everything from Internet of Things devices to data-heavy applications, as an article in EdTech Magazine details (http://ibn.fm/9k9Ur).
