6 15. Contributions
(a) Academic
Dr.Ashok Jhunjhunwala has made significant contributions to the area of Surface Acoustic Wave Theory and Applications in the early years of his research career. He has now expanded his interests also to the areas of Communication Networks, Fibre Optic Communications, and Optical Signal Processing. While doing his Ph.D. research and in subsequent years, Dr.Jhunjhunwala proposed a theory on Spectrum of Acoustic Waves excited by an IDT on a piezoelectric crystal. Later, working with his Ph.D. students, he has extended the analysis to planar bulk acoustic wave response.
Later, Dr.Jhunjhunwala branched out into the areas of Communication Networks and Fibre Optic Communications. One of his Ph.D. students investigated the Design of a High Speed Integrated Packet Switched Network, which represents the type of technology required in the future packetised voice-data communication network. In the area of fibre-optic communications, he has shown how voice communication can be easily added on the widely-deployed Ethernet Network. In the paper on Implementation Considerations in a Fibre Optic Bus Network, he has discussed the design considerations involved in fibre-optic bus networks.
In recent years, Dr.Jhunjhunwala has proposed a variant of the Symbolic Substitution Technique, which could significantly improve the efficiency of its application in Optical Signal Processing. Further, A Design Tool for Symbolic Substitution has been developed which enables design of complex Optical Signal Processing systems.
Over the last few years, Dr.Jhunjhunwala and his students have been looking at the use of enhanced Telecommunications and Signaling to significantly improve the throughput in a Railway Network. It is believed that on existing track and with training at current speed, it is possible to enhance the carrying capacity of Railways by a factor of about 5.
A significant piece of work, led by Dr. Ashok Jhunjhunwala, over the last decade, is an in-depth look at costs and affordability of various components of the Telecommunications and Internet Network, especially in the context of developing countries. Concluding that the access part of the network is the key bottleneck in rapid expansion in these countries, Dr.Jhunjhunwala has focussed his work on examining the appropriate interfaces between the Access Network and Backbone Network and different options to build a cost-effective network. His work includes an in-depth look at Wireless Access Networks and DSL (Digital Subscriber Loop) access networks as well as V5.2 interface and Internet bypass in the access network.
(b) Administrative Responsibilities / Leadership
At the beginning of his career at IIT Madras, Prof.Jhunjhunwala was Head of Guidance and Counseling Unit (1983-85) and virtually created this organisation. In 1985 he became Head of Optical Communication Lab and in 1987 of Telematics Lab in the Electrical Engineering Department. In late 80’s he took charge of communication facilities at IIT M and took the lead in providing telephones to all faculty at homes and offices. For the last six years, he has been the head of TeNeT Group of IIT Madras and
7 has built the group to have nine faculty member, about 120 staff and a number of associated industries together, the research group’s strength today is 400 and Dr.Jhunjhunwala provided the overall leadership. From August, 1998, Dr.Jhunjhunwala heads the department of Electrical Engg. at IIT Madras and has taken an initiative to make it one of the most cohesive department of the institute. As a part of Dr. Jhunjhunwala’s administrative responsibilities, he took an initiative with Analog devices – USA and instituted a chair in the Electrical Engineering Department of IITM in the name of “Analog Devices Chair” for $140,000. Mr. Thomas Alexander, IITM alumns in the area of “Telecommunications and Computer Networking” in the name of “N.T. Alexander” for $1,25,000.
(c) Contributions to Education
Dr.Ashok Jhunjhunwala recognised that the key to strengthening India is imparting of wide-scale high-quality education to students around the country. Realising the crying need for demystification and providing a learning tool for fibre-optic communications, Dr.Jhunjhunwala and his colleagues developed a fibre-optic experimentor, which is now being used widely in engineering colleges throughout the country and in many colleges of the world including USA, Singapore and Australia. The product was awarded Best Product Prize at Elecrama’96 exhibition in Bombay in January 1996. Dr.Jhunjhunwala participated in the development of a similar educator kit on Digital Modulation Techniques and more recently that of a Computer Networking Educator. The latter aims to enable students to learn and implement various networking protocols in a variety of network topologies. All the three kits are being manufactured commercially today.
Dr.Jhunjhunwala has participated in and organised over the years a number of short- term courses for industry personnel, and teachers of engineering colleges, in the area of fibre-optics, wireless communications, computer networking and telematics. Besides offering such courses in several parts of India, he has also helped organise a couple of courses in Malaysia and a course in Vietnam under the sponsorship of International Centre for Science and High Technology (ICST). He played a key role in the formation of Joint Telematics Group (JTG) of the five IITs and IISC, about 14 years back. This group has been organising short-term courses every six months in the area of Telematics at different IITs and IISc, aimed specially at college teachers, but also involving a large number of industry participants. The group also developed a set of comprehensive video courses in this area.
Over the last decade, the demand for large-scale engineering education has resulted in the emergence of a large number of private engineering colleges, especially in South India. A large number of students are graduating from these colleges especially in the area of Telecommunication and IT. Unfortunately many of these students, even though they are bright and hardworking, have not received adequate training because of poor- quality teaching and inadequate infrastructure in many of these colleges. Recognising that the industry badly needs trained personnel, Dr.Jhunjhunwala took the initiative in establishing Usha Martin Academy of Communication Technologies (UACT), currently located at IITM. This joint venture between Usha Martin Industries and IITM is a finishing school to provide intensive training over a thousand engineers every year, on
8 sponsorship from industry. Using Internet based education, the group aims to provide quality training to a much larger number of young graduates in future. A similar initiative has been taken up in setting up IITM – Analog Devices DSP Learning Center at IIT Madras. This center plans to train a large number of engineers in programming on Digital Signal Processing the engine of today’s telecom systems.
(d) Contributions in building a Telecom Community
Dr.Jhunjhunwala has taken a number of initiatives in tying together the Communications and Networking community to enhance education and engineering practice. He works closely with IETE and played a key role in organising its annual Technical convention at Madras in 1989. He was on the editorial board of Journal of IETE and has also edited special issues of Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research (January 1995) and Journal of IETE (upcoming issue on wireless communications). He played a key role in organising a conference on Telecommunications Technology Alternatives and Policy on behalf of Indian National Academy of Engineering in 1996 in Delhi and National Conference on Communications in 1997 at IIT Madras. In March 2000 he envisaged and organised at Chennai an International Conference “Commsphere 2000 : Affordable Telecom and IT Solutions for Developing Countries” sponsored by International Radio Science Union (URSI). This conference brought together a number of scientists and practising engineers from all over the world.
Dr. Jhunjhunwala is a fellow of INAE, INSA. Indian National Academy of Science, and Governor of International Council for Computer Communications.
The most successful initiative in networking that Dr.Jhunjhunwala has contributed to, is the formation of Joint Telematics Group (JTG) of the five IITs and IISc. This group consists of all telecommunications faculty at the five IITs and IISc and has spearheaded spread of education in telecommunications and promotion of industry-academic interaction in the country. Besides organising a short-term course for engineering college teachers and industry personnel every six months on rotation basis at different IITs and IIsc, the group also organises National Conference on Communications (NCC) at different IITs and IISc every year. This is a unique occasion bringing together the best of academia and industry in India. The group also interacts with various government bodies and gives its inputs with regards to telecom policies in the country.
Another significant aspect of the community building effort led by Dr.Jhunjhunwala is the emergence of a group called TeNeT (Telecommunications and Computer Networking Group) at IIT Madras. The group consists of twelve faculty members at IIT Madras belonging to both the Electrical Engineering as well as Computer Science and Engineering department. The faculty in the group works without a hierarchy and is committed to development of education and telecommunications sector in the country. It is rare that such a large group works together in academic institutes today.
(e) Contributions in promoting academic-industry interaction
Dr.Jhunjhunwala has made a unique contribution in the area of academic-industry interaction, especially in the area of Telecom and IT industry. He works very closely with numerous Indian industries including Crompton Greaves, ITI, ECIL, HTL, Shyam
9 Telecom, HFCL, Usha Martin, BPL, Satyam Infoway, Reliance Telecom, Dishnet, ARM and Benchmark Systems. He and his group advices these industries in a variety of aspects including technology trends, Research and Development, product development and international collaboration. His group has collaborative projects with all these industries and has brought to the tune of Rs.10 crores of industrial funding at IIT. Besides, Dr.Jhunjhunwala has been pushing these industries to adapt itself in the post- liberalisation era to standup with the very best in the world. Many industry leaders today look up to Dr.Jhunjhunwala for guidance.
Dr.Jhunjhunwala has also established strong linkages with international industry and have projects with Analog Devices, USA and Acacia Networks, USA, Siemens, Hp R&D Labs, USA and in IT Media Labs.
(f) Contributions on Policy matters
Over the last five years, Dr.Jhunjhunwala has put forward a vision that India should have 200 million telephones and Internet connections at the earliest to enable its people on a large scale. He has examined the bottlenecks and pushed for policy changes that can make this possible. He works closely with Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Information Technology, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India and Department of Science and Technology towards this. He was a committee member for the working group on “IT for Masses” set up by Ministry of Information Technology and was earlier a member of various task forces contributing to Vision 2020 document. He is a member of number of committees at MIT and DST.
Dr. Jhunjhunwala works closely with groups at IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore and IIM Lucknow in evolving telecom policies, which would benefit the country. He is a advisory committee member of “KnowNet-Grin“ (Knowledge Network for Augumenting Grassroots Innovations) at IIM Ahmedabad and also various institutes like Centre for Telecom Policy Studies (CTPS), Patriotic & People Oriented Science & Technology, and Center for Policy Initiatives. He is also an advisor to CII and a number of other organisations.
Dr. Jhunjhunwala has recently taken initiative titled “Sustainable Access in Rural Area (SARI), which is a joint project involving Jeffery Sach’s “Center for International Development at Harvard , MIT Media Lab, McKinsey and TeNeT group at IITM. The project intends to provide Internet Access in every village in two dishnets of India and build a commercial model which could be replicated to provide Internet to every village in India.
(g) Incubation Support
Dr. Jhunjhunwala recognised quite early that encouraging students and alumni to become entrepreneurs, specifically in high technology areas, is a key goal of the IITs. In the 80s, he helped incubate a company called “Benchmark Systems” formed by some IITM alumni. From mid-nineties such effort was taken up in a much more focussed manner and five companies were incubated in the department of Electrical Engineering at IITM. In 1995 nine students of IIT got together to form “Midas Communication Technologies Pvt Ltd”, which carried out development of Wireless in Local Loop along with IIT Madras. A couple of years later, Banyan Networks was incubated with some
10 IITM students to develop Computer Networking products. Similarly AdventNet (Vembu Systems), Nilgiri Networks, NMS works, Chennai Kavigal and n-Logue were started with the help of TeNeT group – all focussed on providing telecom and Internet in India. Today, Dr.Ashok Jhunjhunwala is working to set up an R&D park in vicinity of IITM in the model of Stanford Research Labs.
Dr. Jhunjhunwala is closely working with several Venture Capital Funds to promote R & D and entrepreneurship in India, with a belief that India could become a Design house for the world. He has also taken an initiative to set up a R&D Park associated with IIT Madras with the support of IITM alumni.
(h) Development Initiatives
As a natural outflow of his research interest in the area of communication systems and computer networks, Dr.Jhunjhunwala has built one of the finest groups called Telecommunications and Computer Networks (TeNeT) in the country developing full- fledged products for the Indian as well as International markets. Over the last few years, the system development efforts in his laboratory have snowballed, resulting in major technology developments. Currently he works with eight other faculty members and 400 engineers and technicians, developing low-cost telecom and network products for India and other developing countries. They have developed corDECT Wireless in Local Loop, which provides 35/70 Kbps Internet and simultaneous voice conversation at a cost much lower than that of any other WLL product. Digital Internet Access Switches (DIAS) is a DSL on copper product providing 144 Kbps or 2 Mbps Internet plus simultaneous voice. optiMA Fibre in the Loop system provides SDH fibre back-haul and lowest cost telephony. The CygNet Network Management System enables management of telecom as well as Internet network using a tiered approach. The products have been developed in partnership with companies like Midas Communications, Banyan Networks, Nilgiri Networks and Vembu Systems. These companies were formed by alumnus of IITM and incubated in TeNeT Lab at IITM.
Dr.Jhunjhunwala today is leading a movement to make India a premier design house for telecom and IT products with his vision to enable India to have 200 million telecom and Internet connections in India. He has helped IIT incubate a number of Telecom and IT companies. He has led the development of products, which are amongst the best in the world and specially suitable for developing countries. He has contributed at policy level to enable India to expand its telecom network. He has worked with the key telecom and network Industry leaders in putting forward a vision that developing countries need lower-cost affordable technologies. He has worked to take telecom and Internet to small towns and rural areas in India. The Wireless Local Loop system developed in his lab today is being deployed in Argentina, Brazil, Tunisia, Madagascar, Kenya, Angola, Nigeria, Yemen, Fiji and Iran besides India.
(i) Advanced Research
One of the key beliefs of the TeNeT group is that all the latest technological developments worldwide have to be brought to bear on its mission of enhancing telecom and Internet in India. While systems developed abroad for a different market may have only limited application in India, the technologies incorporated in them, with appropriate 11 re-design, give rise to systems that are more affordable and better suited to our requirements. It is therefore imperative for the TeNeT group to be at the forefront of research in wireless and optical technologies, system design and ASIC development, communication protocols, audio, video and image processing, and international standardisation efforts.
Dr. Jhunjhunwala has encouraged the faculty of the TeNeT group, along with the research scholars they guide, to be active in the all the areas mentioned above. Many of the research scholars also work part-time on product development. There is thus much two-way flow between these two important streams of activity in the TeNeT group. TeNeT faculty and their students routinely publish in international journals, present their work in conferences, and give tutorials on the latest technological developments. A number of leading companies have sought to establish laboratories at IITM to work with the TeNeT group. Among these are Intel, HP, TI, and Cisco. A Centre for Intelligent Optical Networks, (CION) set up with support from Sycamore Networks and its founder and IITM alumnus Dr. Deshpande, is fast coming up. MIT Media Lab works closely with the TeNeT group today, and plans to set up a Media Lab Asia Centre at Chennai with affiliation to the TeNeT Group.
Recently, TeNeT faculties have teamed up with their colleagues from other institutions and from industry to form a forum for developing the next-generation wireless technology in India. The aim is to move forward from merely following international standards, to driving them and creating Indian-owned essential IPR. This is the logical next step in the evolution of IT technology development in India.
The dream of Dr. Jhunjhunwala and TeNeT group is to not only see a couple of hundred million telephone and Internet connections in India, but also to make India a technology leader in research, product development, and services in the IT field. The group believes that with its focussed approach built on teamwork, and by uniting with the efforts all those who are striving towards this goal, this dream will soon become a reality.
(J) Contribution to Society
Dr.Jhunjhunwala has been active for a number of years in organisations like Patriotic and People Oriented Science and Technology (PPST) group, Centre for Policy Studies, Centre for Science and Environment, Centre for Indian Knowledge System and Lok- Swasthya Parampara Samvardhan Samiti (LSPSS).
The current mission that Dr.Ashok Jhunjhunwala leads is to enable every village of India to have telecom and Internet connections. Recognising that Internet is power, Dr.Jhunjhunwala and his colleagues have helped formation of the operators company n- Logue Communications Pvt. Ltd., focussed on providing telephone and Internet in every village. The work to provide such connections is going in Madurai and Cuddalore District of Tamil Nadu, Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh, Bagru in Rajasthan and Sangarur district in Punjab. The objective is to provide 1 million connections in Indian small towns and rural areas in the next three to three and a half years.
