After DoT intervention, Ericsson’s IIT Delhi lab to soon begin work on new 5G use cases

NEW DELHI: Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson’s 5G innovation lab in New Delhi is set to shortly begin work on developing new 5G use cases following the telecom department’s intervention to iron out differences between the vendor and the IIT-Delhi.

Launched with much fanfare by telecom minister Manoj Sinha and Ericsson president and CEO Börje Ekholm last year, Ericsson’s 5G innovation lab recently stopped its 5G-related work around technology testing and use cases after its radiating spectrum license expired.

“DoT has taken increased interest over the last few days that has helped us fast-track the activities of the centre of excellence,” Brejesh Lall, coordinator Ericsson 5G CoE IIT Delhi told ET.
