The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) and the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD) have signed a pact for cooperation in various areas of telecom.
The two organisations have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to work together in areas including IoT/M2M, AI/ML, cyber security and 5G and beyond technologies.
C-DOT is the telecom research and development arm of the Central government's Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
It has undertaken several cutting-edge R&D endeavours leading to the creation of a diverse product portfolio covering a wide array of technologies in the domains of optical, switching, wireless, security, network management and innovative telecom software applications.
C-DOT has been instrumental in the development of home-grown 4G and 5G systems in collaboration with local industry, academia and startups.
IITD, an institute of national importance and Institute of Eminence (IoE) , has been keenly working in the field of communication and associated technologies.
Bharti School of Telecommunication at IITD has taken up its major initiative of multi-disciplinary advanced research and solution development for emerging national needs, in collaboration with industry and other premier R&D organizations.
The Ministry of Communications in a statement on Tuesday (27 September) said that this MoU aims to evolve a mutually productive framework for collaboration between R&D and academia to spur the design and development of wholly indigenous telecom solutions.
This will be an effective platform for exchange of knowledge and skill amongst students, faculty and researchers right from the stage of ideation and conceptualization, the ministry said.
The platform would act as a catalyst to further the transition of novel ideas into market-ready solutions, it added.
