Center of Excellence: Wired & Wireless Technologies

Accelerating market-ready solutions in next-gen communications & AI

The Center of Excellence - Wired & Wireless Technologies (CoE-WWT) is established through seed funding by Govt. of Karnataka to foster cutting-edge, market-ready solutions with the potential for societal scale impact.

Network technologies such as 5G play a critical role in the development of deep-tech and AI-based innovations, which require advanced communication technologies capable of faster, seamless exchanges of data. Recognising the need to nurture new use cases for such technologies, the Government of India announced a mandate to promote widespread commercial deployment of 5G through 100 labs across the country.

ARTPARK’s dynamic ecosystem in Karnataka enables us to connect and collaborate with leading academic researchers and students, startups, and industry players. Located at our state-of-the-art ARTgarage facility, the CoE-WWT offers a fruitful environment for innovation in next-gen communications and AI across sectors such as Manufacturing, Logistics, Retail, Agriculture and Health.
