L&T SWC and Vi to install private LTE network in India

Larsen & Toubro Smart World & Communication (L&T SWC) and Vodafone Idea Limited (Vi) declared that they would together set up a private LTE enterprise network in India.

A Proof of Concept will be conducted at L&T Heavy Engineering’s ‘A M Naik Heavy Engineering Complex’ in Surat’s Hazira.

The firms have collaborated to utilise 5G use cases in areas of public safety, smart, and connected health as part of the government’s 5G trials. Both the firms have partnered to test and validate 5G use cases created on Internet of things (IoT), video artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

L&T told the media that the Industry 4.0 manufacturing revolution across the world has been brought about using hi-tech IoT and connected devices.

JD Patil, Whole Time Director & Senior Executive Vice President of Defence & Smart Technologies at L&T, told the media that they believe private enterprise networks are here to stay, proliferate and help transform businesses on the Industry 4.0 development path. They are excited about this technology and the promise it holds, and along with their partner Vodafone Idea, are betting big on digitising Indian enterprises.

Vi Business is collaborating with significant industrial firms to prepare for a future-ready industry. These trials will allow Vi to build India-specific private LTE use cases with efficient utilisation of spectrum, the firm added.

Arvind Nevatia, Chief Enterprise Business Officer, Vodafone Idea Limited, told the media that this partnership would demonstrate their strength and capabilities to deliver solutions for the enterprises of tomorrow driving faster adoption of industry 4.0 in India. They are confident that this pilot will revolutionise and transform L&T’s A M Naik Heavy Engineering Complex manufacturing facility, unlocking new potential for future scalability.

L&T SWC will design, execute, test and validate the network and the satisfactory deployment of the use cases.

The LTE PoC is based on technology from Nokia. It guarantees coverage, communication, and customer experience combining vast machinery, connected devices and IoT vital to the related high precision manufacturing processes at the L&T Heavy Engineering manufacturing facility.

L&T Smart World offers pre-packaged digital solutions for Private 5G, starting from network designing & rollout, cyber security, and virtualised networks (ORAN).
