Background

IIT Hyderabad, in collaboration with WiSig Networks has successfully developed and commercialized 5G technology, including an NB-IoT chipset. In the process, a wealth of new knowledge has been created. It is imperative that this knowledge be shared with as many young graduates in the country as possible in the shortest possible time.

Vision

We plan to train at least 500 engineers in advance wireless technologies. The country is moving towards indigenization of 5G networks which requires tens of thousands of skilled man power. This certificate program will help address the acute shortage of manpower in this domain.
