The trials proved that SSIC's flexible communication device, a special chip — Software-Defined Radio (SDR) System-on-Chip (SoC) that can support different wireless technologies, worked smoothly with WiSig's advanced mobile network system. Together, they delivered wireless performance similar to what today's best 5G networks offer.
By 2026, the collaboration aims to support advanced applications such as Fixed Wireless Access, Mission-Critical Push-to-Talk, V2X autonomous navigation, and satellite-compatible NB-IoT smart metering.
"This initiative bridges academic excellence, industrial innovation, and international collaboration efforts, reinforcing the global partnership of India and Japan in next-generation wireless communications," said WiSig Networks founder & IITH department of electrical engineering professor Kiran Kuchi.
Toyofumi Horikawa from SSIC expressed enthusiasm about the partnership's outcomes. "The results from tests and experiments carried out at the IITH campus demonstrate the immense potential of customizable SDR SoC platforms in accelerating the development of future wireless technologies," he said.
"SSIC also exhibited its advanced SDR technology at the Mobile World Congress (MWC25) in Barcelona. In 2026, we plan to further expand this collaboration for advanced communication protocol testing.
"
IITH director BS Murty said that this partnership underscores the institute's commitment to fostering international collaboration and driving innovation in wireless communication technologies, placing IITH at the forefront of technological breakthroughs. They said that this Indo-Japanese collaboration exemplifies the potential for international partnerships to shape global standards and drive innovation in next-generation wireless communications.

IIT-Madras launches School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship to boost startup ecosystem
The Indian Institute of Technology–Madras (IIT-M) has launched a School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship to provide structured academic support for the creation of startups. 'Our goal is to emerge as the leading school for innovation and entrepreneurship in the next five years and put IITM on the map of entrepreneurial universities across the world,' Prabhu Rajagopal, Head, School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship told The Hindu. 'The goal is primarily to provide an academic footprint to the entrepreneurial activities that are going on inside the campus,' he added. According to Mr. Rajagopal, who is a serial faculty-entrepreneur and a faculty member of the Mechanical Engineering Department, the school will offer a wide range of academic and non-academic programs, cutting-edge research in innovation and entrepreneurship, and a distinctive lab-to-startup pathway through the MS in Entrepreneurship (to be offered from the July-November 2025 semester). 'We will bring all the innovation and entrepreneurship initiatives on campus under this school. For example, the Centre for Innovation (CFI) and Nirmaan will now come under the school,' he added. Plans are on anvil to create IITM-specific funding mechanisms at the initiation and scale-up stages for startups, to be housed under the banner of this school. Practice-led degrees at undergraduate and master's levels are also being envisaged. 'We are also looking at an 'Innovation Doctorate,'' Mr. Rajagopal said. 'Last year, IIT-M Director set an ambitious target of incubating 100 startups every year. And we have achieved it. But it can't be a one-time wonder – We need to be doing it on a regular basis every time. And that's why we need to provide academic support for entrepreneurship on campus,' he added. During the financial year 2024–25, IIT Madras Incubation Cell (IITMIC) incubated 104 new startups. Over 50% of these startups were founded by IIT Madras members, including faculty, staff, students, and alumni, while 48% were founded by external entrepreneurs. Over the last 12 years, IITMIC has incubated a total of 457 deep-tech startups, collectively valued at over ₹50,000 crore.

India's Russia Arms Ties 'Rubs US Wrong Way', Says Official | S-400 Deal Still On US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has stated that India's military reliance on Russia 'rubbed America the wrong way' in the past, affecting strategic ties. Speaking at the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum, he said things are now changing as India moves towards purchasing more US arms. His remarks come shortly after Russia confirmed delivery of the final S-400 missile system units to India by 2026. Is India walking a tightrope between Moscow and Washington? And what does this mean for Indo-US ties, BRICS diplomacy, and arms purchases going forward? #s400 #indiaustradetalks #howardlutnick #usindiastrategicforum #indiausdefence #brics #russiaindiaarmsdeal #dollarhegemony #indiausrelations #modibiden #militarygear #indiarussia #usarmsdeal #toi #toibharat 1.4K views | 1 day ago

Irish university to cut links with Israel over Gaza war
Irish university to cut links with Israel over Gaza war DUBLIN: Ireland's prestigious Trinity College Dublin said on Wednesday that it would cut all links with Israel in protest at "ongoing violations of international and humanitarian law". The university's board informed students by email that it had accepted the recommendations of a taskforce to sever "institutional links with the State of Israel, Israeli universities and companies headquartered in Israel". The recommendations would be "enacted for the duration of the ongoing violations of international and humanitarian law", said the email sent by the board's chairman Paul Farrell, and seen by AFP. The taskforce was set up after part of the university's campus in central Dublin was blockaded by students for five days last year in protest at Israel's actions in Gaza. Among the taskforce's recommendations approved by the board were pledges to divest "from all companies headquartered in Israel" and to "enter into no future supply contracts with Israeli firms" and "no new commercial relationships with Israeli entities". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Japanese advice to diabetics: smart people do it Insulux Undo The university also said that it would "enter into no further mobility agreements with Israeli universities". Trinity has two current Erasmus+ exchange agreements with Israeli universities: Bar Ilan University, an agreement that ends in July 2026, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which ends in July 2025, the university told AFP in an email. The board also said that the university "should not submit for approval or agree to participate in any new institutional research agreements involving Israeli participation". It "should seek to align itself with like-minded universities and bodies in an effort to influence EU policy concerning Israel's participation in such collaborations," it added. Ireland has been among the most outspoken critics of Israel's response to the October 7, 2023 attacks on southern Israel by Hamas militants that sparked the war in Gaza. Polls since the start of the war have shown overwhelming pro-Palestinian sympathy in Ireland. In May 2024, Dublin joined several other European countries in recognising Palestine as a "sovereign and independent state". It then joined South Africa in bringing a case before the International Court of Justice in The Hague accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza -- charges angrily denied by Israeli leaders. In December, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar ordered the closure of the country's embassy in Dublin, blaming Ireland's "extreme anti-Israel policies". The University of Geneva also announced Wednesday that it has ended its partnership with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem following student protests, saying it no longer reflected the institution's "strategic priorities".
