Hyderabad: In a major boost to India's 5G capabilities, IIT Hyderabad (IIT-H) and WiSig Networks have developed 5G wireless broadband technologies indigenously for the first time. IITH and WiSig Networks have jointly announced a maiden 5G data call using indigenously developed 5G ORAN technology. The call was made using Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) capable base station that supports 100MHz bandwidth in the 3.3-3.5 GHz frequency band.
"WiSig announces a range of ORAN compliant 5G infra solutions including small cells, massive MIMO macro cell Distribution Unit (DU) option 7.2x, integrated access backhaul (IAB) unit that support mm-wave and sub 6 GHz frequency bands. These solutions and products are available for Indian wireless equipment manufacturers on licensing basis," said Sai Dhiraj, Principal Scientist at WiSig.
Based out of the IIT Research Park, WiSig Networks Private Limited is a growing Indian Startup focused on developing 5G Mobile Communications Products and Solutions. IITH and WiSig developed more than 100 5G patents and 15 of which are declared as 3GPP 5G Standards Essential Patents (SEPS) to TSDSI (Telecommunication Standards Development Society, India).
"This is a watershed moment in indigenous 5G development. IIT Hyderabad and WiSig Networks have developed 5G wireless broadband technologies indigenously for the first time, thereby bringing India into the forefront for 5G and beyond.
