The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for cooperation in various emerging areas of telecom spanning internet of things (IoT)/machine-to-machine (M2M), artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML), cyber security and 5G and beyond technologies.

According to C-DOT, the MoU aims to evolve a mutually productive framework for collaboration between research and development (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 among students, faculty and researchers right from the stage of ideation and conceptualisation. The platform would act as a catalyst to further the transition of novel ideas into market-ready solutions.

IIT Delhi has been keenly working in the field of communication and associated technologies. Bharti School of Telecommunication at IIT Delhi 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 organisations.
