C-DOT and IIT Delhi collaborate to develop 6G THz communication technology

The Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) has entered into a partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) to advance research and development in 6G telecommunications. This collaboration focuses on creating “Building Blocks for THz Communication Front Ends,” a critical component of next-generation 6G networks.

The agreement, signed under the Telecom Technology Development Fund’s (TTDF) 6G Call for Proposal by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), aligns with the Bharat 6G Vision. This initiative aims to establish India as a leader in 6G technologies by fostering innovative solutions that provide intelligent and secure connectivity.

The project involves the development of THz systems for 6G communication and other applications, such as military communications and material characterization. With the support of SAMEER Kolkata, core components will be developed and fabricated at IIT Delhi’s facilities. This step aligns with India’s recent emphasis on building chip fabrication capabilities domestically.

The signing ceremony was attended by Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay, CEO of C-DOT, and Prof. Ananjan Basu of IIT Delhi, alongside key officials. Dr. Upadhyay highlighted the significance of this collaboration in realizing the Bharat 6G Vision, while Prof. Basu expressed IIT Delhi’s commitment to advancing cutting-edge telecom research.

C-DOT reiterated its dedication to developing indigenous microelectronic THz components, marking a significant step in India’s journey toward self-reliance in telecom technology.
