C-DoT, IIT Delhi sign pact for cooperation in telecom areas

The agreement will strengthen the collaboration between R&D and academia paving the way for expeditious design and development of indigenous telecom solutions. 

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aims to evolve a mutually productive framework for collaboration between research and development 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 will act as a catalyst to further the transition of novel ideas into market-ready solutions.  

C-DoT executive director Rajkumar Upadhyay said the partnership between C-DoT and IIT Delhi would unlock new opportunities for capturing the entire telecom technology landscape with indigenous innovations. He said the convergence of academic excellence and innovative research will augment national Intellectual Property (IP) assets. 

C-DoT has been one of the key players in the development of home-grown 4G and 5G systems in collaboration with local industry, academia and startups.  Swades De, head, Bharti School of Telecommunication Technology and Management, IIT Delhi, accentuated the need for having focused and productive frameworks for joint collaboration between academia and research and development (R&D).  

He said this would bring students, faculty and researchers closer and would help in faster design and development of commercially viable, industry-grade and market-competitive technological solutions.
