With an aim to advancing India’s telecommunications sector, Minister of Communications, Jyotiraditya M. Scindia, visited the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) Bengaluru campus today, where he inaugurated the state-of-the-art 5G O-RAN Testing Lab. The lab is poised to become a hub for startups, academia, and the industry, providing them with crucial facilities to test various components of the 5G open RAN system developed domestically.
Highlighting the importance of innovation, Minister Scindia witnessed a successful 5G call using an open RAN-based 5G radio developed by C-DOT. The lab is expected to foster the development of a complete Indian end-to-end 5G ecosystem, encompassing key areas such as core, access, transport, cloud, orchestration, and security.
During his visit, Minister Scindia engaged with prominent Bengaluru-based startups and domestic industry partners, including Astrome, Chipspirit Technologies, DeepVisionTech.AI, Elena Geo Systems, Fasal Agri Tech, LivNsense Technologies, and others, who demonstrated their innovative solutions. The Minister praised C-DOT’s collaborative research initiatives, including BharatRAN-1 and BharatRAN-2, designed to deliver O-RAN-compliant 5G RAN solutions for public and private networks.
Minister Scindia assured the startups and industry players of full policy support and emphasized Bengaluru’s pivotal role as the ‘Silicon Valley’ of India in shaping the country’s future in telecommunications technology.
Following this, the Minister inaugurated the Tejas Centre of Excellence for Wireless Communications at Tejas Networks’ Bengaluru headquarters. The facility aims to advance research in frontier technologies and next-generation mobile networks, focusing on 6G and beyond.
In his address, Scindia lauded Tejas Networks’ achievements, highlighting their ability to design and manufacture high-quality, cutting-edge products that compete with global telecom players. He commended Tejas Networks for their contribution to BSNL’s pan-India 4G/5G network rollout, supplying indigenous RAN (Radio Access Network) equipment.
The Centre of Excellence is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, focusing on emerging areas such as AI/ML, Massive MIMO, Terahertz Communications, and Sub-band Full Duplex technologies. It also aligns with ITU-R’s IMT-2030 framework to support future global wireless standards.
Minister Scindia concluded his visit by congratulating Tejas Networks and expressed his pride in seeing the wide range of world-class wireless and wireline products developed by Indian companies that are now integral to major networks in India and beyond.
