Digital Desk: Vi (Vodafone Idea) announced a collaboration with the gaming network CareGame on Friday to offer 5G cloud gaming to its customers in India. The company claims that the low latency technology of 5G would further democratize the cloud gaming sector.
"The online gaming industry is among the fastest growing entertainment segments in India and with the advent of 5G it is expected to grow many folds. Mobile gaming is a key agenda for us to drive engagement with our consumers," Avneesh Khosla, Chief Marketing Officer at Vodafone Idea, announced in a statement.
A Boston Consulting Group (BCG) survey estimates that 300 million people in India presently play mobile games. By 2025, the Indian mobile gaming market is anticipated to triple in size to $5 billion, expanding at a CAGR of 38%.
"Our unique Mobile Cloud Gaming technology lifts all these barriers so that all mobile gamers can enjoy all these great mobile games, whether being RPG, MOBA, Battle Royale, Strategy, Simulation, FPS, Racing or in any other genre," said Benjamin Athuil, CareGame's Co-founder and President.
In order to hasten the adoption of 5G devices in India, the telecom operator has also teamed up with the popular global smartphone manufacturer Vivo. The partnership announcement comes on the eve of the India Mobile Congress (IMC), Asia's largest digital technology forum, which will be held at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi from October 1-4, 2022.
The Vivo V25 and T1 5G smartphones, which were just released, were successfully tested on the 5G spectrum bands that Vi obtained in New Delhi. The outcome of this is that Vi consumers attending IMC 2022 will be able to sample a wide variety of 5G technology solutions and use cases that are relevant to India. Through this agreement, Vi and Vivo will work together to promote the use of 5G technology among smartphone users throughout the nation. Vi will keep working with several OEM companies to make it possible for its 4G customers to switch to 5G-capable phones.
