The Minister of State for Communications and Rural Development has reviewed the participation of leading domestic telecom manufacturers in major projects across the country.
At a meeting, the minister and homegrown original equipment manufacturers, including the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DoT), discussed operational challenges, current requirements and future growth priorities.
The minister reiterated that the government remains committed to advancing the Make in India agenda in telecom and building a strong, self-reliant manufacturing ecosystem.
During the meeting, C-DoT showcased its C-TARANG radio access network solution, which supports 4G and 5G non-standalone (NSA) networks.
An indigenous 4G network is currently being rolled out for the public sector telecom operator across 0.1 million sites by a Tata Consultancy Services-led consortium that includes Tejas Networks and C-DoT. The deployed sites are designed to be upgraded to 5G from a technology standpoint.
