GG News Bureau
Roorkee, 12th Feb. C-DOT, the premier Telecom R&D Centre of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India, and Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (IIT-R), have signed an agreement under the Telecom Technology Development Fund (TTDF) scheme for “Developing a 140GHz Fully Integrated Transmitter & Receiver Module for 6G and Beyond.”
The objective of this collaboration is to develop a 140 GHz Fully Integrated Transmitter and Receiver Module to enable applications for 6G and beyond. This cutting-edge technology aims to reduce system size, weight, and power consumption, making it suitable for use in portable devices such as smartphones, laptops, and wearables. The chip developed through this project will support data rates of up to several gigabits per second, facilitating high-speed data transfer within and between chips.
The event was attended by key representatives including Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay, CEO of C-DOT, Prof. Sai Ramudu Meka and Prof. Darshak Bhatt from IIT Roorkee, along with Directors of C-DOT – Dr. Pankaj Kumar Dalela and Ms. Shikha Srivastava.
Both C-DOT and IIT Roorkee expressed their commitment to contributing to the development of next-generation communication technologies in line with the Prime Minister’s vision of Viksit Bharat@2047. They emphasized the importance of promoting cutting-edge research capabilities and infrastructure in the telecom sector.
Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay highlighted the significance of this technology in paving the way for building home-grown 6G solutions with ultra-low latency, contributing to the overarching objective of ‘Bharat 6G Mission’.
The successful completion of this project is expected to contribute to the development of next-generation ultra-fast, low-latency 6G networks, further transforming various industry sectors.
