Design and development of new prototype for RIS-aided communication
COMET Foundation is dedicated to advancing research and development in cutting-edge communication systems such as O-RAN and RIS. By focusing on building these technologies in-house, the foundation aims to reduce dependency on imports and foster the growth of an indigenous market within India. This approach not only strengthens the country’s technological self-reliance but also paves the way for innovation and leadership in the global communications industry.
