There is no debating that the exponential spike in technology has caused companies to make several changes, especially in the past few years. In some cases these may be minor adjustments that are necessary to keep up with times, yet other cases require a complete reanalysis of policy. In a move announced on the first of the month, electronic security leader Zicom stated they are redeveloping their business model to provide security coverage to the telecommunications industry. According to the article, the primary focus of this initiative will be on base tower stations where theft is becoming more prevalent.
With the recognition of the rapid increase in the telecom industry, it seems like a great move to redevelop the strategic plan to capitalize on the situation. They sought out a need in the market to protect these base tower stations, and are in the process of implementing a plan to carry out their vision. Their goal is that in the first three years they will provide coverage to at least 20,000 out of the 3,000,000 towers in India. To accomplish this, Zicom hopes to form a subsidiary that can manage the security services, a division whose primary focus would be on these remotely placed towers.
While it seems like an excellent step in the right direction, there are certainly obstacles to overcome. First, from a geographic perspective, these towers are scattered all over the country in areas with varying conditions. This could become an issue for servicing after the installation phase is completed. In addition, this is a sector that hasn't really been explored very much and may have some issues when it comes to branching out, especially considering the lack of direct control they will have. In total, all great ideas must start somewhere and with consistent reevaluation of the plans, I feel as if this may have a chance in the future.

Telecommunications is certainly one of the most rapidly changing industries today. This provides great opportunities for new companies to enter the market, as well as encouraging innovation from old companies. This expansion in the area of electronic is just one example of this. Even though this area hasn't been explored much, that gives much more room for risk-taking entrepreneurs to create new technologies that will benefit the entire industry as well as the consumer. The incredibly dynamic nature of telecommunications is what makes it one of the most profitable fields in today's market.
