New Delhi . After successfully implementing 5G across the country in record time, India is rapidly working on 6G technology. The country tops the list in terms of filing patents related to 6G.
India now joins the top six countries in global 6G patent filings. Prime Minister Narendra Modi envisions India becoming a leading contributor to the design, development and deployment of 6G technology by 2030.
Under the 'India 6G Vision', the government is already evaluating 470 proposals on 'Accelerated Research on 6G Ecosystem'. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has funded two next generation testbeds to advance 6G research.
India could achieve a 10 per cent share in all 6G patents and a sixth contribution to global standards in the next three years, according to a governmentled committee.
The country has already launched various initiatives such as 'Bharat 6G Vision' and 'Bharat 6G Alliance' along with patent and IPR support framework and commissioning of testbeds.
According to industry experts, the proliferation of both wireline and intelligent wireless broadband networks with reliable connectivity is important for India to become a leader in the technology.
World telecommunication leaders, experts and academicians from over 190 countries are set to participate in the 10day World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSA2024) to be held in India from October 1424.
For the first time in the 150year history of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), 'WTSA2024' is being organized in the national capital from October 1424.
According to the Department of Telecommunications, India's hosting of 'WTSA2024' is an opportunity to influence the global telecom agenda as we prepare for the transition to 6G and beyond.
Now, the Department of Telecommunications has started this by starting the WTSA2024 Outreach Session.
These outreach sessions held in Delhi, Hyderabad and Bengaluru aim to provide students with an exclusive platform to learn and interact directly with industry experts.
