IIT Hyderabad Develops IoT Chip for Satellite and 6G Networks
Imagine a super-smart chip that can connect to the internet from almost anywhere.
Researchers at IIT Hyderabad created this chip!
It works with 4G, 5G, and even satellites, making it perfect for connecting lots of devices like trackers and sensors.
The chip is small, uses little power, and can be used in healthcare, logistics, and even national security.
It can help doctors monitor health, track packages, and improve safety, all while being designed and owned in India.
IIT Hyderabad developed an IoT-enabled system-on-chip (SoC) integrating 4G, 5G, and satellite.
The chip is designed for low-power, sensor-driven connectivity, a key 6G technology.
Potential applications include healthcare, logistics, and national security.
The chip's design is in India, with intellectual property ownership also in India.
It complements 6G networks by enabling massive connectivity for sensors and devices.
