TechPhosis, a deep tech company specializing in communication solutions, has joined forces with Pegatron 5G to equip academic institutions in India with advanced 5G/6G Research and Innovation Labs for developing 5G applications and IoT use cases. This cutting-edge partnership will elevate Indian institutes to global standards in 5G/6G lab infrastructure. The labs will enable students and researchers to gain practical experience with 5G technology through hands-on experimentation, exploring message flows, and protocols, and integrating with application development environments used across various industries.

In this cooperation project, TechPhosis will provide the 5G Software (including 5G RAN and 5G Core) developed using Open Source.  Pegatron 5G will supply 'Make in India' energy efficient, IP50, indoor radio hardware. This approach of democratizing 5G enables TechPhosis and Pegatron 5G to offer these labs to Academia in India at a fraction of the cost compared to what is typical in the industry. TechPhosis and Pegatron 5G will further subsidize the initial few labs.

Speaking on the collaboration, Mr. Ritesh Aggarwal, CEO, of TechPhosis, said, "India is at the cusp of becoming a Communication Superpower and there is a massive opportunity of setting up 5G private networks across Enterprises, Industry, PSUs, and Govt. departments. We want to enable our students to drive this 5G revolution which will be a major employment provider on one side and also lead the country to become a 6G leader and drive the communications industry across the globe".

Speaking on the collaboration, Mr Jayant Moghe, AVP & Country Manager, India for Pegatron Electronics India Pvt Limited (PELI), said, "Pegatron 5G is fully committed to supporting India's ambition to become a leading telecom global power by enabling the students and researchers in the country with the best 5G/6G lab infrastructure. Pegatron's superior hardware and design and manufacturing capabilities help to create highly cost-effective, robust, stable, and high-performance 'make in India' 5G products".
