Telecom Centers of Excellence Telecom Centers of Excellence were set up with a primary objective of building an environment for innovation in public private partnership (PPP) by creating synergies among premier academic institutes, telecom operators and Department of Telecom. In the 11th Plan, 7 TCOE have been established, 5 at IITs, 1 at IIM and 1 at IISc, with each TCOE having one telecom operator as the sponsor, 8th TCOE was set up at IIT, Roorkee in the 12th Plan. There is also TCOE India in New Delhi responsible for liasioning with Government, operators and academic institute as well as for promotion of incubation. Objectives of TCOE a) As the telecom sector started witnessing a spectacular growth, a need was clearly felt to perform indigenous research and innovations relevant to the industry. TCOEs were envisaged to address this gap. TCOE's vision is to perform application oriented research relevant to the needs of telecom sectors. b) Growth in telecom sector requires highly skilled talent pool with a strong innovation focus. TCOE's vision is work towards capacity building in the field. c) Indian participation in global standards is marginal. Since India does not have critical mass of indigenous manufacturing in telecommunications, a focused approach was needed with academia-industry partnership to influence international standards. TCOEs were expected to bridge this gap. d) TCOEs were also expected to play the role of a think-tank for policy advocacy towards governance and regulation of telecom sector. e) On completion of initial 5 years and with a view to bring in more accountability and thrust of these centres for entrepreneurships and innovative product development, Government have reviewed the role and functions of these TCOEs and have proposed structural changes to make them competitive and to face new developmental challenges. After review, TCOEs have opened up their research platform to all the stakeholders of ICT sector for enabling industry driven research through a competitive process. For this purpose, a TCOE may have collaboration with other academic institutions and funding for the projects would be accessed from Government, industry and VCs etc. on competitive basis. f) With a view to source problems and bringing in start ups, TCOE India with the support of DoT has already started Innovation Meets. TCOE India is now hosting Innovations meets regularly. TCOE India along with constituent TCOEs and C DoT has decided to set up Telecom Entepeeus’ 2. Orgazational Chart 3. Brief about the TCOEs A.

  • PLANNING for Bharatnet PHASE 2
    PLANNING FOR BharatNet PHASE 2 September 2016 Contributors: Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Bombay Prof Abhay Karandikar Prof Prasanna Chaporkar Dr Sarbani Banerjee Belur Mahak Arora Jaspreet Singh Vinooth Kulkarni Annapurna Vivek Yogi Arindam Bhattacharyya Meghna Khaturia Shubham Saha Akshay Bajpai September 2016 Prepared by Indian Institute of Technology Bombay for Bharat Broadband Nigam Limited Executive Summary BharatNet is a project envisioned by the Government of India to digitally connect all the Gram Panchayats (GPs) and Villages of India. In order to achieve the target in the stipulated time, it is necessary to exploit various wired and wireless technologies and design a network topology. The IIT Bombay BharatNet planning tool has been designed and enhanced for its functionality in order to generate fibre route along with wireless links as well as its feasibility for connectivity of Phase 2 GPs of BharatNet project. The tool takes into account the road data of India that facilitates fibre planning along the road based on GPON architecture. The tool also takes inputs of the Optical Line Terminators (OLTs) present in each block for determining the fibre route from block headquarters to the GPs in the block. The GPs which are not connected through fibre, are then considered for alternate technologies such as 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi technology and satellite. A thorough fibre link feasibility and wireless link feasibility is undertaken to design a feasible and stable network of fibre and wireless links. Various assumptions have been made for feasibility tests and network topology design. Based on the new assumptions mentioned in Chapter 8, following is the Pan-India fibre and wireless summary of the results.
