Telangana had identified ‘very large scale integration as a priority sector and conducted capacity building programmes for students together with the industry. It now wants to set up a dedicated incubator for the VLSI startups. However, the success of these kind of incubators depended on the corporate support and mentoring senior engineers and experts can provide, he said, asking Silicon Labs to be part of it.

Telangana is using IoT for getting moisture, humidity, alkalinity, soil and other data for precision agriculture. Telangana is among the top states pushing the frontiers of technology exploration, he said.

“Only 50% people are coming to the office even when everything is becoming normal. We should bring as many people as possible to the office, please push for it,” he said about the industry work trends.

Silicon Labs and IIIT-Hyderabad will launch India’s first campus-wide Wi-SUN network at the IIIT-H Smart City Living Lab on September 29. The network will serve as an innovative street-lighting application, with 30 built-in network nodes connecting the campus street lamps for remote monitoring and control.
