Introduction: A Nuclear Vision for Viksit Bharat@2047 As India marches toward its ambitious goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, energy security stands as a pivotal pillar in the vision of Viksit Bharat . Amid the global climate crisis and rising energy demands, nuclear power has re-emerged as a compelling solution. India’s commitment to achieving 100 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047 is both visionary and necessary—but achieving this requires a strategic shift in policy, participation, and international cooperation. While India’s nuclear energy sector has traditionally been a tightly controlled domain under government monopoly—primarily led by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) —it is now imperative to welcome private sector investments and foreign partnerships. A reformed nuclear ecosystem can unlock the full potential of atomic energy as a clean, reliable, and scalable contributor to India’s net-zero aspiration...
Understanding Radio Access Network (RAN) in 5G Telecommunications A Radio Access Network (RAN) is a critical part of wireless telecommunication infrastructure, connecting devices like smartphones and computers to the internet via radio waves. Al Touch LLP, with funding from the Department of Telecommunications TTDF scheme under Digital Bharat Nidhi , is working on developing advanced components for 5G RAN. Below is a breakdown of RAN's components and their functions: Antennas : Antennas are essential for converting electrical signals into radio waves. These radio waves are transmitted through the air to connect user devices to the network. In 5G, antennas are designed for high-speed, low-latency communication. Radios : Radios are responsible for transforming digital data into radio signals, allowing communication between devices and the network. They play a key role in signal processing and are vital for handling higher frequencies in 5G networks. Baseband Units (BBUs) : The Baseb...
