Tata Elxsi announces the opening of the Bengaluru “xG-Force” lab. By offering ready-to-use infrastructure, cutting-edge tools, and an integrated partner ecosystem for a variety of applications spanning from transportation, healthcare, Industry 4.0, media, and communication sectors, this state-of-the-art 5G Applications Lab seeks to speed 5G innovation.
Manoj Raghavan, MD & CEO of Tata Elxsi, and Kevin Plunkett, Vice President of Cloud Services at Boost Mobile (previously DISH Wireless), an EchoStar subsidiary, officially opened the xG-Force lab.
The first company to take advantage of the xG-Force 5G Applications Lab offerings will be Boost Mobile, which will be a major turning point in the two businesses’ collaboration.
Manoj Raghavan, MD & CEO of Tata Elxsi, stated, “We are honoured to work with Boost Mobile as our lead customer on the future of 5G networks. The xG-Force lab is a vital force multiplier for our customers, providing a platform to explore, validate, and accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies. By integrating our expertise in digital engineering, automation, AI, and application with industry-specific domains, we develop transformative solutions for consumers and enterprises.”
In its capacity as the initiative’s systems integrator, Tata Elxsi will create and incorporate 5G applications with its cutting-edge platforms, including TEDAx for big data engineering, TETHER for connected vehicles, TEngage for digital health, and Neuron for autonomous networks, to deliver solutions in artificial intelligence, next-generation communications, and cutting-edge technologies.
Customers throughout the world stand to gain from the xG-Force lab’s large OPEX reduction through AI-led smart operations, as well as new income streams, data-driven innovations, and support for the subscription economy.
Kevin Plunkett, Vice President of Cloud Services, Boost Mobile (formerly DISH Wireless), added, “We are excited to see this lab facilitate innovative 5G use cases and help our network plans in the United States. This lab, similar to EchoStar’s Open RAN Center for Integration and Deployment (ORCID) in Cheyenne, Wyoming, is crucial to driving innovation and setting higher standards across the industry.”
Vivek Tiwary, Vice President and Head of Telecom Business at Tata Elxsi, stated, “Based on my interactions with leaders in telecom industry across the globe, Boost Mobile is considered a trailblazer with many ‘Firsts’ to its credit. xG-Force is an ecosystem that primarily aims at creating those solutions that we believe has not been created so far. I see a great synergy collaborating and helping Boost Mobile meet its vision.”
In collaboration with leading companies in the field, hyperscalers, and chip makers, such as RedHat for Private Cloud, AccuKnox for Cloud & Application Security, i2i Systems for 5G Core, and Rebaca for Test Tool, this lab has been set up as an ecosystem. To further enhance the lab’s capabilities, Tata Elxsi intends to extend this relationship with more international partners.
Rahul Jadhav, CTO, Co-founder, AccuKnox, commented: “The xG-Force lab will enable rapid adoption of next generation 5G technologies in a collaborative way while reducing OPEX by ensuring significant use-cases are tested in the lab. AccuKnox is excited to be part of this initiative and looks forward to enabling a secure, vibrant 5G ecosystem with Tata Elxsi.”
Important topics covered in the lab include digital health, linked and electric vehicles, private 5G, streaming media, aircraft, and Industry 4.0 solutions for smart factories. It will also contribute to reducing risks in important domains like healthcare data security and transportation safety while supplying the ultra-low latency required for interactive entertainment in the future.
