February 20, 2024 – London – NTT DATA, a global leader in digital business and IT services, and Roularta Media Group (RMG), a Belgian leading multimedia group, announced a strategic engagement to digitally transform RMG’s printing facilities, with the deployment of an advanced Private 5G network and NTT DATA’s expertise in managed services. RMG’s decision to invest in a new Private 5G network is part of its corporate plan to greatly increase productivity through advanced technologies.

As part of a multi-year agreement, NTT DATA and RMG will bring to life Private 5G use cases to support RMG’s global operations, transforming Belgium’s largest offset printing company into a state-of-the-art digital printing powerhouse. The partnership will focus on creating new use cases, including intelligent asset tracking and push-to-talk communications, to streamline operations and enhance productivity. NTT DATA’s secure, low-latency Private 5G network will help Roularta Printing move to a fully digital future, both locally and internationally.

“NTT DATA Private 5G empowers organizations, providing the network that underpins digital transformation and edge computing implementations,” said Robin Joncheere, Managing Director, NTT DATA Belgium. “We are thrilled to support Roularta Media Group’s digital transformation journey as they unlock the potential of private 5G, applications at the edge, and data-driven insights for revolutionizing their operations as a digital-first multimedia company.”

NTT DATA conducted an in-depth consultancy assessment of RMG’s network and security, ensuring that the infrastructure is optimized for peak performance. NTT DATA’s Private 5G network is already supporting Roularta Printing across its 40,000-square-meter manufacturing facility in Belgium.

As RMG modernizes its manufacturing operations, the Private 5G network will underpin the optimization of devices used throughout the facility and prepare for future edge computing implementations. Looking ahead, RMG plans to extend the NTT DATA Private 5G capabilities across additional locations throughout Europe in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands.

“Our industry demands uninterrupted operations 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Any downtime is a significant risk because news needs to be printed within hours,” said Luc Neysens, CIO, of Roularta Media Group. “As we transform our printing operations and execute our vision for a fully digitized future-proof multimedia company, we’re excited to work with NTT DATA and their team to unlock what is possible with a dependable, secure, and low latency network environment.”

Additionally, smart, ruggedized devices support push-to-talk communications, a feature that was previously difficult to incorporate on RMG’s legacy network due to moving machinery and signal reflections within the facility.

National, 20 February 2025: Veer Pahariya graces the February cover issue of Filmfare, emerging as a fresh talent in the entertainment industry. With a deep-rooted passion for acting, music, and storytelling, he embodies a new generation of artists who refuse to be boxed in. As he continues to grow and push boundaries, Veer is undoubtedly a talent to watch out for in Hindi Cinema. Veer Pahariya made his Bollywood debut earlier this year, starring alongside Akshay Kumar in the film Sky Force. Filmfare, one of the country’s most prestigious entertainment magazines renowned for celebrating cinema, fashion, and emerging talents in the industry, serves as the perfect platform for Veer’s story, marked by dedication, perseverance, and a drive to redefine the norms.

In an exclusive chat with Filmfare, Veer reflected on his dream. He shared, “I think it was my lifelong dream to become an actor. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want this. When I was about five years old, I used to collect Filmfare magazines. I still have them in my collection.”

Highlighting his early hustle before stepping into the world of films, Veer recalled, “I had a YouTube channel where I built a small audience and would get paid for performing at college festivals and schools. I also worked on a few ad jingles.”

Discussing Sky Force, Veer revealed how he approached the pressures of a high-profile debut with a sense of gratitude, highlighting, “I didn’t have any fear at all before Sky Force released. I was just grateful for the opportunity to live my dream. Every day on earth is a good day.” He recounted his experience sharing the screen space with Akshay Kumar, noting, “Working with Akshay sir was overwhelming at first because he’s someone we’ve all grown up watching. But when I went on the set, he was so welcoming and comforting that he immediately broke the ice with me.”

Veer’s transformation for the role of Squadron Leader T Krishna Vijaya in the film was drastic – both physically and mentally. Recalling his transformation for the character, he shared, “On the day of the look test for Sky Force, I had long hair and a beard, and they transformed me completely. I had no idea what the film was about at that point. They cut my hair short, gave me a military-style moustache and put me in overalls. Months later, I heard the narration, and it was an easy decision.”

Cementing his stance as a disruptor in the industry, Veer said, “I know I don’t look like a typical hero. But I’m aware of my strengths and weaknesses. I’m here to bring something new to the table. I’m aiming to break barriers and change the game.”

On his self-made journey, Veer acknowledged the realities of navigating Bollywood without a legacy to lean on, saying, “I’m the first artiste in my family. So, my association with the industry is purely based on the work I’ve done. Anyone who comes to Mumbai gets associated with people from the film industry.” Talking about his early inspirations, he revealed, “Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan were my early inspirations. I also really admire Sushant Singh Rajput’s choice of roles; he had such an original voice.”

Filmfare’s February issue chronicles and celebrates all that’s hot and happening in the world of movies and OTT.
