Dr. Neeraj Mittal, Secretary, Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Ministry of Communications, virtually launched the “Experimental Licence Module for 100 5G Labs” during a 5G workshop at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Madras in Chennai, Tamil Nadu (TN).

The initiative seeks to simplify the process of obtaining experimental licenses for academic institutions in India.

The goal is to increase students’ and start-up communities’ knowledge and engagement with 5G technologies.

About 100 5G Use Case Labs:

  • DoT has awarded ‘100 5G Use Case Labs’ to educational institutions throughout India. The labs will use 5G frequency bands to conduct various experiments and test use cases.
  • To ensure interference-free operations for licensed telecommunications service providers (TSPs), these labs should obtain an experimental (non-radiating) category license from the DoT.

Currently, these certificates are issued in “Self-declaration Mode” from the DoT’s Saralsanchar portal via the National Single Window System (NSWS).

Securing this license requires submitting a detailed experiment plan.

About Experimental Licence for 100 5G Labs:

The Department of Transportation has simplified the licensing process by introducing a new Approval Type “Experimental Licence for 100 5G Labs” on the NSWS portal.

Features:

  • This streamlines the application process by pre-filling technical specifications and schematic details, reducing manual labor and time.
  • The app has been simplified. This requires only basic information such as the institute’s address, authorized personnel, and a nominal fee of Rs. 5000.
  • This will foster innovation and skill development, as well as democratize access to 5G technology, allowing educational institutions and startups to explore its transformative potential.

Additional info:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will award 100 5G Use Case Labs to institutions across India in October 2023 at the 7th India Mobile Congress 2023 (IMC) at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi.

3) MEA Approves Taking Over the Operations of Sittwe Port in Myanmar

best cat classes in dadar

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has approved a proposal for India Ports Global Limited (IPGL) to take over operations at the Sittwe port on the Kaladan River estuary in Rakhine, Myanmar.

It was India’s second foreign port, after Iran’s Chabahar Port.

Indian financial assistance funded the construction of Sittwe Port as part of the Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project. In other words, Sittwe Port was built with Indian financial backing to be a key component of this larger transportation initiative. An inland waterway connects the Sittwe port to Paletwa in Myanmar, and further on, a road connects Paletwa to Zorinpui in Mizoram. This creates a vital transportation corridor linking the port to Myanmar and Mizoram.

The Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways established Sagarmala Development Company Limited (SDCL) as a wholly owned government company. In turn, SDCL went on to create a fully owned subsidiary, naming it IPGL.

  • NASA recovered three rockets launched during October’s eclipse.

Mission Objective:

  • Mission investigates upper atmosphere’s response to eclipse dimming.
  • The mission is being led by Aroh Barjatya, an engineering physics professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, USA.

Launch Timeline:

  • To maximize the understanding of how the Sun’s sudden disappearance affects the ionosphere, scientists launched rockets at three crucial intervals: first, 45 minutes prior to the peak local eclipse; second, precisely during the peak; and third, after the eclipse had passed.

Solar eclipse-induced disturbances may affect communication systems.

Rocket Mission Overview:

  • The APEP rockets achieved a maximum altitude of 420 kilometers (260 miles).
  • Rockets probe particle density & surrounding electric/magnetic fields.
  • Four soda-sized instruments per rocket gather data equal to 15 rockets.

Embry-Riddle built three of each rocket’s secondary instruments, while the fourth was built at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, USA.

Impact of Eclipse on Atmosphere

  • Eclipse causes a rapid localised sunset.
  • Initiates atmospheric waves and disturbances.
  • Affects several radio communication frequencies.

Significance of Data Collection:

Data on these disturbances is collected to validate and refine high-frequency communication disruption models.

2024’s eclipse is a rare research opportunity; next totality for contiguous US not until 2044.
