New Delhi: Tata Consultancy Services has created two new business units dedicated to telecom and 5G solutions led by industry veterans. The IT giant has carved out a network solutions and services unit (NSS) to cater to 5G rollout and engineering solutions under its communications and media vertical. It will be headed by Vimal Kumar.

The second unit pertains to offering intelligent network management solutions - a cognitive enterprise network unit (CEN) - which will be led by Satya Pitta. “To serve the network technology needs of customers and prospects in the CMI vertical across TCS, we will consolidate our capabilities, service offerings, and products in this domain under a new service unit named Network Solutions and Services (NSS),” the company said in an email.

Economic Times has reviewed a copy of an internal mail sent to key stakeholders identifying the new business unit.

Kumar, who has been made in charge of the NSS unit, has worked across various telecom-related business roles. He reports to TCS chief operating officer N Ganapathy Subramaniam in this role. His unit will focus on solutions like product engineering for wireless services and radio frequency, network rollout for wireline services, intelligent networks, network virtualisation and automation, 5G services and network planning.

The CEN unit, on the other hand, will be a part of Cognitive Business Operations (CBO) which integrates Business Process Services and IT Infrastructure Services. This wing will focus on offering solutions like network as a service NaaS, intelligent branch networking, managed network digitisation and management of legacy customer networks across industries.

The creation of these two new units comes when the IT company is in the final stages of sealing an estimated $2 billion deal (Rs 16,000 crore) to launch the state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd's (BSNL) 4G network. This will also help the Tata Group consortium of TCS and Tejas Networks to take their 5G rollout offerings to global telecos.
