Trinetra-A is the fourth-generation network in this series. The multiple hardware and software components realise a high bandwidth, low latency, scalable network fabric supporting industry-standard programming interfaces.

Another important launch will be of the ‘TETRA network’ which is a wireless communication network based on TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) technology for critical communications. C-DAC has the unique distinction of developing a totally indigenous wireless communication network based on TETRA technology.

M-Kavach 2, an android-based mobile device security solution addressing emerging threats will be launched for the public use domain. “It helps the users in identifying security and privacy misconfigurations in the devices and further provides advisories related to locking the device, password protection, notification settings to avoid leakage of OTPs etc. M-Kavach 2, with its rich feature set, aids in building a secure mobile ecosystem in the country by making the user’s device a better platform for mobile governance, e-commerce, mobile payments etc.” added Col.
