Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IITH) have created the first indigenous 5G wireless broadband technology together with WiSig Networks Private Limited. The team has announced a maiden 5G data call using indigenously developed 5G ORAN technology.
5G technology is essential, not only for its potential to support a million devices at ultrafast speeds but its capability to transform people's lives around the world. It will deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra-low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, and so forth.
In a major boost to India’s 5G capabilities and in line with the concept of Atmanirbhar Bharat, IIT-H researchers said that they have developed these 5G technologies indigenously. The call was made using a MIMO capable base station with 100MHz bandwidth in the 3.3-3.5 GHz frequency band.
WiSig is an Indian Startup that develops 5G Mobile Communications products and solutions. The team has produced over 100 5G patents, out of which 15 are declared as 3GPP 5G Standards Essential Patents (SEPS) to Telecommunication Standards Development Society (TSDSI).
"WiSig announced several ORAN compliant 5G infra solutions including small cells, massive MIMO macro cell Distribution Unit (DU) option 7.2x, integrated access backhaul (IAB) unit that supports mm-wave and sub 6 GHz frequency bands. These solutions are available for Indian wireless equipment manufacturers on licensing basis," WiSig Principal Scientist Dr Sai Dhiraj said.
"IIT-H and WiSig developed more than 100 5G patents and 15 of which are declared as 3GPG standards essential patents to TSDSI," said Prof BS Murty, director, IIT-H.
