Next Generation Intelligent Radios for Cellular Networks
Vision
The vision is to build a indigenous, secure 5G (and 6G) networks with home grown hardware and software.
Problem
Industry 4.0 enterprises need secure, reliable communication for IoT devices. Private 5G offers dedicated bandwidth, low latency, and data control, overcoming public-network limits for industrial automation and mission-critical operations.
Solution
A locally developed, modular 5G system for industrial and broadband use cases, compliant with 3GPP and ORAN. We have built MIMO radios and base stations in the n78 band.
Potential
5G drives social, environmental, and economic transformation and sustainable development. An indigenous solution enhances security and scalability for defence and critical infrastructure, fostering innovation and employment.
Target Beneficiaries
Telecommunication vendors.
Current Users
At TRL-8, the solution is deployed at IIT Madras (three sites), CEWiT, IIT Kanpur, and IRISET Hyderabad. Future work focuses on intelligence and adaptability for large-scale deployment.
