Cutting Network Design From Weeks to Hours at the Industrial Wireless Forum

Legacy network design workflows delay deployment by months, creating a costly gap between business ROI and technical execution.

At the Industrial Wireless Forum hosted by RCR Wireless, eino.ai CEO Payman Samadi was joined by NTT Data's Director of 5G Solution Architecture, Rahul Bangera. Together they explored how 3D Digital Twins and AI Agents are accelerating network design and sales workflows from months to days. Here are the key insights:

1. 48% of Teams Aren't Using AI Agents or Digital Twins During Design

Our webinar poll revealed that nearly half of Industrial Wireless Forum attendees still design the way they did five years ago, while customer expectations have changed dramatically. The gap isn't about technology adoption for its own sake. It's about velocity. Teams using AI-powered workflows are shaving days, weeks and months off of already long enterprise sales cycles.

2. Enterprise CXOs Care About ROI, Not Coverage Maps

Executives focus on productivity improvements, new revenue generation, and measurable ROI outcomes—not signal strength. Design for business outcomes, not just technical specs. "Enterprise leaders know that the network may be Wi-Fi, private 5G or LTE - but they are more focused on the business outcomes and the ROI that they need to realize."— Rahul Vangara, NTT DATA.

3. Create 3D Digital Twins in Minutes with AI

Upload photographs of your industrial environments: cranes, airplanes, refinery structures, and use eino to generate accurate 3D models within minutes. Show clients their network - industrial obstructions included - before the first meeting ends, not after weeks of back-office design work.

4. Hybrid Networks Need Unified Design Tools

Complex deployments use LoRa for sensors, Wi-Fi for general connectivity, and private 5G for mission-critical applications. Model all technologies simultaneously in a single environment to eliminate coverage gaps and optimize for coexistence.

5. AI Agents Accelerate Initial Design, and Beyond

Modern AI identifies optimal placement locations, determines mounting points, and selects antenna types during client conversations. This doesn't replace expertise—it multiplies it, allowing smaller teams to handle more complex projects faster.
