IIT-H-based WiSig Networks launches indigenousm wireless System-on-Chip
This breakthrough technology integrates multiple advanced features, making it a trailblazer for applications across IoT, 5G, satellite communications, and pre-6G use cases of Integrated Sensor and Communication (ISAC) devices
Sangareddy: Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad-based (IIT-H) WiSig Networks announced the launch of indigenously designed, future wireless standards-compliant System-on-Chip (SoC). This breakthrough technology integrates multiple advanced features, making it a trailblazer for applications across IoT, 5G, satellite communications, and pre-6G use cases of Integrated Sensor and Communication (ISAC) devices.
The SoC, Module and its functionality were demonstrated recently to the Department of Telecommunications team in a live operator network. The ministry team appreciated this development and its relevance to the Indian Telecommunication and Semiconductor sector. Expressing gratitude, Prof Kiran Kuchi, founder of WiSig Networks, said they are immensely proud of the achievement that represents a step forward in India’s ambition for self-reliance in critical technology sectors. Prof Kiran, faculty of Electrical Engineering at IIT-H, said that WiSig intends to supply this System on Chip through IoT Device OEMs, IoT Module Makers and IoT System Integrators for global deployment in applications such as utility metering, animal tracking, asset tracking, Industry 4.0 sensor nodes, remote sensors and monitoring devices among other Internet of Thing’s applications of 5G as well as NTN. Currently, the SoC is under customer qualification and once completed, will enter the production tapeout phase leading to mass production.
