Central government to develop technology for highspeed, ultra-low latency 5G service
New Delhi| The central government is going to develop a technology for highspeed and ultra-low latency 5 G services. The Department of Telecommunications (DOT) on Saturday said the department has signed an agreement with Linearized Amplifier Technology Services and Vedang Radio Tech. The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), Linearised Amplifier Technology Services and Vedang Radio Tech have extended a partnership hand to develop a ‘millimetre wave power amplifier chips IP core for 5 G FRTU.
With this agreement, organizations are focusing on strengthening India’s ability to produce and maintain cutting edge solutions globally.
“This will boost cutting-edge research and infrastructure as well as easily align with the National Semiconductor Mission, an important component of PM Narendra Modi’s Make-in-India initiative”, the communications ministry said in a statement.
These power amplifiers are essential for IP core standalone transceiver chips and they also serve as building blocks in large phased array systems. They are designed for beamforming systems that rely on over-the-air power combining.
The aim of this project is to develop MM-wave power amplifier IP cores for 5 G FRTu frequency bands (26 GHz and 47 GHz) using commercial foundry services. By using Five-G FRTu frequency bands, sufficient bandwidth can be made available at millimeter wave frequencies, which is critical to the high-speed and ultra-low latency services required in Five-G.
Under this project, standard process design kits will be used in the design and hardware validation process for the production of industry-ready IP cores. C-DOT CEO Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay stressed the contribution of the department towards indigenous development of telecom products and solutions.
