Intel selects IIT Delhi for 5G project worth Rs 16 crore

Intel selects IIT Delhi for 5G project worth Rs 16 crore:

Intel has chosen Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) as one of the universities to develop 5G or Fifth Generation Technology.

IIT Delhi was the only university from Asia that was chosen.

It’s estimated that Intel is pumping around USD 3 million (approximately Rs 16.30 crore) into the project. Verizon is the industry partner for the venture.

As it takes around 10 years for each generation, chances are that you will only be able to use 5G on devices in around 2020.

What will 5G mean for you?

There’s no fixed concept of what 5G actually but it will result in higher speeds with better coverage for you.

Battery life is expected to last longer than it does with 4G and a higher number of devices will be supported.

The other universities in the project include:

University of Southern California 

New York University 

Princeton 

Stanford 

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 

University of Texas at Austin 

University Fabra Pompeu 

Purdue University 

Cornell 

University of California at Los Angeles 

Rice University

Macquarie University
