Other institutes that have participated in the project include IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Bombay, IIT KanpurIISc Bangalore, Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research (SAMEER) and Center of Excellence for Wireless Technology (CEWiT).
According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the project was developed at a cost of more than Rs 220 crore.
