Use cases :
a. Successfully demonstrated the World’s first Multi-link E-Band Radio. In a commercial pilot project awarded to Astrome by the Indian Department of Telecommunications, the company has deployed E-band radios in Sompura Gram Panchayat in Karnataka that connect to Nidavanda and Pemmanahalli Villages. One Radio at Sompura Gram Panchayat connects to peripheral radios at Nidavanda and Pemmanahalli villages
b. Partnered with a domestic LTE company to provide 4G services at Keelara in rural Karnataka
c. Successfully tested and implemented communication at a 10.8 km distance between Mandya and Keelara in Karnataka
3. Success story ( that includes how DCIS funding has boosted them) :
GigaMesh is a revolutionary Multi-beam E-band Radio, capable of simultaneous communication from one tower to multiple towers, delivering multi-gigabit-per-second throughput to each of these towers. This compact one-box solution comes equipped with an integrated antenna and uses advanced digital beamforming technology to create multiple links with just one radio.
Astrome, the company behind GigaMesh, has received support from several notable Government of India programs, including the Digital Communication Innovation Square (DCIS) under the Ministry of Telecommunication. In 2021 and 2022, Astrome was the recipient of the TCOE DCIS 5G Grant awarded by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).
