![]() It provides real-time tracking of trains for Indian Railways, and its Vessel Tracking Terminals assist the Indian maritime agencies involved in coastal security. In India, the company works closely with the Indian Space Research Organisation. ![]() It offers a wide range of Satcom solutions, including satellite phones, two-way MSS terminals and end-to-end communication platforms for Satellite IoT applications. Saankhya Labs claimed that it is experienced in designing, developing, and deploying mobile satellite service terminals and hub-side baseband. Under the partnership, both companies will collaborate on the further development of mobile broadcast technologies for operation on Ligado’s satellite network. ![]() It recently entered into a partnership with US-based Ligado Networks to explore the possibility of increasing the adoption of mobile broadcast technologies. Saankhya is also aiming to tap the global satellite communication (Satcom) industry. “Sinclair wants our product as it would enable them to take their television content to the far more ubiquitous mobile phone,” Naik said, adding that the BRH device would also allow Sinclair to offer data distribution services like firmware upgrades to its US auto clients over a broadcast network. This solution is based on the convergence of Broadcast and mobile Broadband networks, in which a mobile network operator can intelligently use the BRH network (that is co-located with mobile radios) to offload some of the high bandwidth-consuming data traffic, such as video, the company said. The BRH can also be deployed as a part of 5G Broadcast solutions developed by Saankhya Labs. The device enables the convergence of broadcast and mobile broadband networks, allowing digital terrestrial broadcasters in the US to boost their reach and market share. The chip maker’s BRH product, which is already certified by US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), is expected to be launched commercially in the US by the third quarter of the next calendar year. It intends to offer the chipset reference design for integration in the OEM’s smartphones, Naik said, adding that the company will not enter the handsets business directly. The company is aiming to showcase its prototype handset to global original equipment makers that make smartphones. The chipmaker had involved the telecom department’s Standards, R&D & Innovation (SRI) division in the applications process instead of directly applying online to the mandated Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) wing. The DoT had previously put on hold 5G trial spectrum allocation to Saankhya Labs as the latter didn’t follow the mandated process of seeking such experimental 5G spectrum. “Saankhya’s BRH product will be deployed by US private broadcaster Sinclair Broadcast Group for offering live television services on mobile phones in the US market…the experimental 5G spectrum allocation for six months will be used to test the company’s products,” Saankhya Labs CEO Parag Naik was quoted as saying by the Economic Times. The company aims to launch these products in the US market after rigorous testing in India using the trial spectrum in Bengaluru, which is called India’s Silicon Valley. It will also test its mobile handset prototype capable of receiving broadcast signals. Saankhya Labs, India’s own semiconductor chipset maker, was allocated 5G trial spectrum from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) in the 700 Mhz and 600 Mhz bands to test broadcast radio head (BRH) products.
