DoT presents two R&D proposals for 5G Smart villages & Quantum Cryptography
DoT - The Department of Telecommunications reported two proposals — 5G Intelligent village and Quantum Encryption Calculation (QEA) — pointed toward catalyzing development and mechanical progression in the telecom area. 
The two proposals will be financed under the Telecom Technology Development - TTDF plan of the DoT. The 5G Intelligent Village Drive expects to empower successful use of Super Reliable Low-Latency Communication - URLLC and mMtC- massive Machine Type Communications parts of 5G in chosen villages, exhibiting the benefits of 5G network, the department of Telecommunication said. 
"Proposals can also include plans for establishing 5G connectivity in areas without existing coverage. This initiative aims to unite telecom service providers, sensor manufacturers, CCTV suppliers, and IoT providers on a single platform to explore and exploit the potential advantages of 5G, serving as a hub for research and development in this field," the department stated. 
In the interim, making an India-explicit QEA will address a ground breaking way to deal with getting computerized communication channels by utilizing the standards of quantum mechanics. The DoT believes that the algorithm should provide efficient and super-fast encryption capabilities in addition to unrivaled security. 
Quantum encryption is theoretically un-hackable and has the potential to be significantly more secure than previous cryptographic algorithms, even though it is still in its infancy. Dissimilar to conventional cryptography, which is based on arithmetic, quantum cryptography is based on the laws of physics. Participants from industry, start-ups, small businesses, academia, and government departments involved in the technology design, development, and commercialization of telecom products and solutions have been invited by the Department. 
DoT stated that these initiatives demonstrate its commitment to fostering indigenous R&D, encouraging the creation of intellectual property, and achieving inclusive digital growth throughout India.
