    C-DOT-Silizium Circuits partner to develop LEO satellite components

    MUMBAI: In a breakthrough collaboration poised to revolutionise India’s telecommunications sector, the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) and Silizium Circuits Pvt Ltd have joined hands to design and develop cutting-edge LEO satellite components and GNSS RF Front-End ASIC. This ambitious partnership signifies an exciting chapter in India’s pursuit of self-reliant, next-generation telecom technology, laying the groundwork for state-of-the-art advancements that will shape the future of connectivity.

    From the depths of innovation to the skies above, something transformative is being engineered—technology that not only strengthens India’s telecom infrastructure but also places the nation firmly on the global map of telecom leadership.

    Stay tuned, because this is just the beginning of something extraordinary.

    The agreement was signed under the Telecom Technology Development Fund (TTDF) scheme, launched by the department of telecommunications (DoT), Government of India. The scheme supports Indian startups, academic institutions, and R&D bodies in developing affordable and innovative telecommunication solutions to bridge the nation’s digital divide.

    Silizium Circuits, leveraging the support of TTDF, will focus on creating advanced semiconductor solutions addressing critical challenges in the satellite communication ecosystem, including power efficiency, high-speed data transmission, and signal integrity. By utilising its expertise in analog, RF, and mixed-signal technologies, the company will contribute to reliable, high-performance LEO satellite infrastructure. The project targets both the global market and India’s goal of enhancing urban and rural connectivity while strengthening next-generation broadband services.

    The agreement was formalised during a ceremony attended by C-DOT CEO, Rajkumar Upadhyay; Silizium Circuits, co-founder & CEO, Rijin John; C-DOT directors, Pankaj Kumar Dalela & Shikha Srivastava; and senior officials from DoT, including DDG (TTDF), Parag Agarwal, and DDG (SRI), Vinod Kumar.

    Upadhyay underlined the importance of developing own chips for communication needs and emphasised the support of C-DOT including its infrastructure during the project implementation.

    This partnership showcases India’s resolve to innovate and build indigenous solutions for satellite communication, advancing the country’s self-reliance in semiconductor technology and telecommunications.
