In a significant step towards developing Indigenous technology, the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT)<\/strong>, signed an agreement with the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) and Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi (IIT Mandi).<\/strong> Goal for the development of \u2018Cell-Free\u2019 6G Access Points. Both the IITs are collaborating to develop this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Centre for Development of Telematics (<\/strong>C-DOT)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Centre for Development of Telematics<\/strong> (C-DOT) is an Indian Government owned telecommunications technology development centre. It was established in 1984<\/strong> with initial mandate of designing and developing digital exchanges. C-DOT<\/strong> has expanded to develop telecom equipment both wireless and wired since 1980\u2019s. It has offices in<\/strong> <\/strong>Delhi,<\/strong> <\/strong>Bangalore<\/strong> <\/strong>and<\/strong> <\/strong>Kolkata.<\/strong> It is one of the few government organisations in India which have been appraised at Maturity Level 5 of CMMI-DEV v1.3.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agreement signed attendees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement was signed during a ceremony attended by CEO, C-DOT \u2013 Dr Rajkumar Upadhyay, principal investigator \u2013 Dr Abhay Kumar Sah<\/strong> from IIT Roorkee, co-investigator \u2013 Dr Adarsh Patel from IIT Mandi and Director C-DOT, Dr Pankaj Kumar Dalela.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding support to domestic companies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement is signed under the Telecom Technology Development Fund (TTDF) scheme of Department of Telecommunications<\/strong>, Government of India, which has been designed for providing funding support to domestic companies, Indian startups, academia and R&D<\/strong> institutions involved in technology design, development, commercialization of telecommunication products and solutions. This scheme aims to enable affordable broadband<\/strong> and mobile services, playing a significant role in bridging the digital divide across India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Cell-Free\u2019 Massive MIMO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional mobile networks<\/strong> use cellular topologies in which each cell is serviced by a single base station like 4G\/5G<\/strong> to service mobile customers. <\/strong>\u2018<\/strong>Cell-Free<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong> Massive MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) eliminates the idea of cells and cell boundaries by deploying several access points (APs)<\/strong> across a vast region to serve many user devices at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About this 6G project<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This 6G project<\/strong> will focus on developing  APs for enabling the upcoming 6G radio access networks<\/strong> and also aims to contribute to the 6G standardization activity, drive commercialization, generate intellectual property rights (IPRs), and develop a skilled workforce to support the emerging 6G landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dedication to advancing next-generation communication technologies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the event, Dr Sah and Dr Patel affirmed their dedication to advancing next-generation communication technologies, aligning with Bharat <\/strong>6G Vision launched by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.<\/strong> They expressed their gratitude to Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and C-DOT<\/strong> for the opportunity to collaborate on this research, emphasizing that it bolsters efforts to enhance cutting-edge research capabilities and infrastructure in the telecom sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indigenously designed & developed technologies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Rajkumar Upadhyay, CEO, C-DOT underscored the key role of indigenously designed & developed technologies in meeting the specific requirements of communication for our diverse country, reaffirming the commitment towards \u201cAtmanirbhar Bharat<\/strong>\u201d. He also said this will help us generating IPRs in 6G domain and emerging technologies in the area of 6G.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
