NEW DELHI: Bengaluru-based saankhya labs on Thursday unveiled the first indigenously advanced digital chipset that can be used for purposes like direct TV broadcast on cellular gadgets, curbing call drops and 5G connections.
"Saankhya labs, a Bengaluru-based company is launching its indigenously designed and developed, the world's first and most advanced multi-standard next-generation TV system on the chip," telecom minister Manoj Sinha mentioned after unveiling the chipset.
All digital chipsets, considered as the heart of recent gadgets, have been advanced by way of foreign corporations so far. None of them is made in India because there is not any trendy semiconductor production plant in the nation.
Electronic chipsets of saankhya labs also are being manufactured at Samsung facility in South Korea.
"I am also told that this broadband-broadcast convergence technology has great potential to minimise or eliminate call quality issues faced by telecom operators today," Sinha mentioned.
Saankhya labs co-founder and CEO Parag Naik mentioned the chipset will assist in setting apart video content from a cellular community and hence reduce the weight at the spectrum for improving call quality.
Saankhya's Pruthvi-Three chipset will facilitate direct transmission of video on cell phones and too can assist convert an Android-based smartphone right into a satellite tv for pc phone.
The company expects to release its chipset-based mobile phone equipment in the type of a dongle and cell phones inside of a few years, Naik mentioned.
"Semiconductor technology takes time in maturing and adoption. Original design manufacturers will incorporate our chipsets into various products. We will try for getting certain standards based on our technology incorporated in 5G services. Our chipsets are 30 per cent more efficient in output compared to our nearest competitor and 50 per cent cheaper too," he mentioned.
The company already has clients in america and China and bagged orders to provide five million chipsets for more than a few varieties of gadgets.
"We are looking at 50 per cent year-on-year growth in business. In this financial year, we are expecting sales of around $14-15 million (Rs 98-105 crore). We have advance orders for supplying 5 million chipsets to companies in the US that they will use in tablets (PCs), television gateways etc. This order will be completed by the first quarter of 2020," Naik mentioned.
Saankhya labs has started a pilot for rural broadband services in Scotland and Africa and gained a request for the challenge in the Philippines, Brazil and america.
"We are in talks with an Indian firm to start rural broadband trials in the country," Naik mentioned.
He mentioned that in the next two years TV gateways, rural broadband generation, satellite tv for pc communications and defence would be the major contributor to the business.
