The Initiative
The project involves high-bandwidth mm-wave wireless communication technology that has
applications both in terrestrial and space sectors, coupled with space internet transponder, which
will enable access to low cost, high-speed internet, to facilitate point-to-multipoint link formation
through a key patented technology. The proposed development of microwave equipment supports
communication between towers at 20+Gbps speeds as compared to 1-2Gbps available today. The
first outdoor prototype that would be created will be able to form upto 10 point-to-multipoint links
with other transceivers enabling a total capacity of 20+Gbps per transceiver across all links. Also,
when scaled to form a space transponder, this will provide 100+Gbps capacity per satellite whereas
that currently planned (for year 2018-2019) by competitors can provide only 8Gbps per satellite. The
space transponder will have the unique capability of reusing spectrum spatially, which enables it to
provide the said increase by 12 times.
