The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) and Galore Networks have signed an agreement for collaborative development of end-to-end 5G radio access network (RAN) products and solutions to boost indigenous development of 5G.
This collaborative approach based on achieving synergy and harmony amongst multiple ecosystem partners will facilitate the evolution of mutually productive and sustainable alliances. This will act as a catalyst resulting in indigenous design, development, manufacturing and deployment of cost-effective 5G products and solutions. This will bring the technical competencies and complementary strengths of Indian research and development (R&D) and industry into a single unified platform leading to the creation of indigenous intellectual property assets that can generate new avenues for wider reach and commercialisation of home-grown technologies at the global level.
Commenting on the collaboration, Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay, executive director, C-DOT, highlighted the key importance of achieving synergy amongst various participants of the technology ecosystem to spur novel innovation and competitive spirit leading to the development of holistic indigenous solutions in an expeditious manner. He further remarked that effective collaborative engagements will unlock the vast potential for Indian products and solutions in the international market.
Meanwhile, Balaji Kulothungan, director (MD), Galore Networks, remarked that Galore is excited to collaborate with C-DOT to offer its entire suite of commercially field-deployable 4G/5G (non-standalone) NSA and (standalone) SA Macro/Micro Base-station integrated with C-DOT 4G/5G NSA & SA Next Generation Core. He added that the two entities would work together to develop 5G products for Indian and global tier-1 telecom operators, critical networks, and private networks.
