The role of infocommunications in the transition to a digital economy

The digital transformation of the economy involves solving two problems: the application of new technologies in the production management system, and the transition to digital methods of working with information based on digitalization. The need to perform both tasks leads to an increasing role of infocommunications, which provide an opportunity to combine the processes of information transfer, informatization and provision of information services. The trends that are shaping new directions in the development of information and communication infrastructure are a radical increase in the capacity of communication channels, the provision of data transmission services, and the development of mobile broadband access. The implementation of these infocommunication tasks is in line with the transition to the digital economy.
