1. Which Bangalore-based firm supplied the indigenous chip-based 4G mobile base station to the Indian Army?
Signaltron, a Bangalore-based firm, provided the indigenous chip-based 4G mobile base station to the Indian Army. This base station, known as Sahyadri LTE, incorporates chips developed by Signalchip, an Indian semiconductor company. This development marks a milestone as it is the first time an Indian system using locally developed chips has been adopted for complex communication technology within the military. Signaltron's solution, procured through the government e-marketplace portal, underscores India's move towards self-reliance in critical defence technologies, enhancing security and operational control.
