DoT launches infra planning initiative
Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has launched the 'Sangam: Digital Twin' initiative, which will help in infrastructure planning by utilising artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and internet of things (IoT).
The digital twin technology offers a solution by creating virtual replicas of physical assets, allowing for real-time monitoring, simulation and analysis for experimental iterations. It aims to demonstrate practical implementation of innovative infrastructure planning solutions.
The DoT has invited industry pioneers, startups, MSMEs, academia, innovators and forward-thinkers to participate in Sangam's outreach programmes. Interested stakeholders can apply till March 15.
Sangam: Digital Twin is a proof of concept (PoC) distributed in two stages to be conducted in one of the major cities of India. First stage is exploratory while in the second stage, practical demonstration of specific use cases will be done.
The initiative symbolizes a collaborative leap towards reshaping infrastructure planning and design, combining the prowess of 5G, IoT, AI, and next-gen computational technologies.
Sangam brings all stakeholders on one platform aiming to transform innovative ideas into tangible solutions, bridging the gap between conceptualization and realization, ultimately paving the way for groundbreaking infrastructure advancements.
“It is a call to action for creating an ecosystem that maximizes the value of technological advancements for fulfilling the societal needs for efficient, effective
