Chipset innovation: India enters into an elite club, says Aruna Sundararajan

NEW DELHI: India has entered into an elite club of countries with chipset-level innovation, telecom secretary Aruna Sundararajan Wednesday said, adding that it was extraordinary that an Indian company has come forward and launched not only 4G-LTE chip but also a 5G NR modem.

Bangaluru-based semiconductor company Signalchip Wednesday unveiled a dual carrier 4G/LTE and 5G NR standards-based modem that can work on up to 6GHz frequency range — creating a breakthrough after eight-year long research and development (R&D) activities in multiple complex domains.
