“TEC Signs MoU with IIT Bombay for Joint Research and Technical Contributions in Telecom Technologies and Standardisation”
The Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC), the technical arm of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the IIT Bombay
They will jointly undertake studies, research, and contribute technically to advanced telecom technologies and global standardization efforts.What is TEC?
TEC ensures interoperability, quality control, and alignment with global telecom standards and best practices. It also represents India in international bodies like ITU-T and ITU-R, coordinating National Working Groups for global standardization initiatives.
The partnership aims to develop India-specific standards and test frameworks,
And explore future network technologies such as 6G, Artificial Intelligence (AI), NGN, VoIP and enhance India’s participation in ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union –
And the Telecommunication Standardization Sector) Study Groups.
TEC Signs MoU with IIT Bombay for Joint Research and Technical Contributions
Key Areas of Collaboration:
- The study of 6G architecture and enabling technologies involves active participation in research, pre-standardization analysis,
- And standardization efforts within global forums such as 3GPP, aiming to contribute significantly to the development and global acceptance of 6G technologies.
- Core Network: Joint studies and technical contributions in telecommunications core networks.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Joint studies and technical contributions in the field of AI in telecom and Development of AI-driven telecom applications for intelligent networks,
- The automation, and predictive maintenance with a roadmap towards realizing AI-Native capabilities in future 6G systems.
- Low-cost indigenous satellite communication terminals are being developed for remote sensing and rural connectivity.
- Signalling Requirements and Protocols:Joint Studies and technical contributions in signalling requirements and protocols for telecommunication networks,
- It includes NGN, VoIP, IMT-2020/2030, and signalling-based architecture.
This partnership accelerates indigenous R&D and boosts India’s impact in global standardisation by enhancing its contributions to international bodies like ITU and 3GPP.
It supports the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative by promoting local research, design, and manufacturing in telecommunications, creating India-specific standards, test frameworks,
And homegrown solutions to strengthen national self-reliance, secure critical communication infrastructure, and reduce import dependence.
