Nokia has recently announced a ground-breaking partnership with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) to jointly explore and develop 6G technologies and use cases tailored specifically for the Indian market. The collaboration will take place at Nokia’s state-of-the-art 6G Lab in Bengaluru and will focus on three main research areas: 6G radio technologies, 6G architecture, and the application of machine learning (ML) in the 6G air interface.
While the research conducted at the lab will have global implications, Nokia and IISc will also prioritize 6G use cases that cater to the unique needs of India. Some of these applications include leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance transportation safety, improving healthcare services, and ensuring better access to education. Additionally, the collaboration aims to explore ways to enhance network sustainability and energy efficiency, as well as enhance the resilience and reliability of critical communications networks.
Nishant Batra, Chief Strategy and Technology Officer at Nokia, emphasized the importance of this partnership in aligning with India’s ambitious 6G Vision. The collaboration will not only position India as a significant contributor to the design, development, and implementation of 6G technology but will also ensure that the country’s specific requirements are incorporated into the global 6G standard.
India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has been actively working on the ‘Bharat 6G’ program to define India-specific requirements for the future of wireless communication. The program aims to prioritize affordability, sustainability, and ubiquitous connectivity and intelligence. The DoT has already secured a significant milestone by successfully advocating for the inclusion of these elements in the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) 6G standard framework.
This collaboration with IISc marks the first partnership to emerge from Nokia’s 6G Lab, which was inaugurated in Bengaluru last year. It reflects Nokia’s commitment to driving innovation and fostering local expertise in India’s thriving technology ecosystem. As the race for 6G intensifies, Nokia’s collaboration with IISc is a significant milestone that will pave the way for the future of wireless communication in India and globally.
