Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) signs agreement with Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru (IISc Bengaluru) and Foundation for Science Innovation and Development (FSID) for setting up C-DOT Centre of Excellence

The Centre for Development of Telematics (C‑DOT), the Department of Telecommunications’ premier R&D centre, signed a tripartite agreement with the Foundation for Science Innovation and Development (FSID) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, to set up a C‑DOT Centre of Excellence (CoE) at IISc. The CoE will focus on high‑impact research in wireless communications, quantum technologies, cybersecurity and AI‑driven communication systems, including emerging 5G Advanced/6G, massive MIMO, integrated sensing‑communication, AI‑native networks and post‑quantum communications. It aims to accelerate indigenous innovation, generate IP, support deep‑tech start‑ups and foster academia‑industry collaboration. This is C‑DOT’s fifth CoE, following similar partnerships with IITs Hyderabad, Kanpur, Gandhinagar and Roorkee.
