Bangalore. January 19, 2015. IEEE, in collaboration with the Indian Electrical & Electronics Manufactures’ Association (IEEMA), will co-host INTELECT, the conference and exposition on the efficient consumption of electricity from January 22 – 24, 2015 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai, India. This event, which will focus on the integration of telecommunication and the design of energy networks, is being organized by the IEEE Power Energy Society, IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Communications Society in association with IEEMA.
Telecom and IT form the backbone of the future Smart Cities of India. Digital India is not a distant dream anymore, given the vivid roadmap laid down by the Ministry of Communications & Information Technology. IEEMA and IEEE are organizing INTELECT 2015, which aims to showcase the IT and relative infrastructure sectors for creating Smart Cities in the country. Today, India is one of the fastest growing telecom markets in the world. INTELECT is being launched when there is an unprecedented increase in tele-density and a sharp decline in tariffs in the Indian telecom sector, contributing significantly to the country’s economic growth. Besides contributing to about 3% of India’s GDP, Telecommunications, along with Information Technology, has greatly accelerated the growth of the economic and social sectors.
Commenting on these requirements, Mr. Patrick Ryan, Executive Director, IEEE Power & Energy Society,emphasized,emphasized, “The combination of digital economy strategies and energy production and distribution policies with the smart grid and electrification of transport, can be a compelling driver of the triple bottom line of sustainability with economic, environmental, and social benefits. These three factors are inter linked and necessary to ensure the success of energy efficient telecom.”
Mr. Ajit Singh Chauhan, Vice President, IEEEMA, said, “The importance of a technology as important as telecommunication will only grow and with very rapid strides. It is the pivot of every transacting and communication process and hence it is imperative to ensure that this vital technology is made both efficient and sustainable.”
