IIT Rajasthan, Nl India develops radio IP
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
Faculty and students at the Indian Institute of Technology Rajasthan (IITR), in association with National Instruments India, have developed the Intellectual Property (IP) for a Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM)-based Transmitter. This broadcasting system, developed by the international DRM consortium, has been proposed as a high-quality digital replacement for analogous broadcasting in AM and FM/VHF bands. It offers listeners a wide range of programming, with enhanced audio performance and multimedia services, like broadcasting text, slide shows of still and animated images, electronic newspapers, and weather and traffic information. The technology makes it possible for rural and remote parts of India to access both local and international transmissions.
Jayaram Pillai, MD, National Instruments India said, "We have a long tradition of developing innovative products through in-house expertise and partnership with universities all around the world. Our research and development center in Bangalore works on cutting-edge topics in the area of image processing, graphical system design software and communication signal processing. We leverage the rich intellectual expertise available in Indian universities by direct hiring and forging strong partnerships, like the one with IITR."
Prof. Prem Kalra, Director, IITR said, "The Indian Institute of Technology Rajasthan represents a unique culture of engineering and science education and research. Through Centres of Excellence with their innovative curriculum design, interdisciplinary research and thought leadership, IITR aims to create leaders who are entrepreneurial and well-rounded. Our aim is to make the fruits of technology available to the "Last Person", the poorest people of our country. Our partnership with National Instruments India emphasizes our long-held belief that a synergistic partnership between industry and academia can make this happen."
