AMD is collaborating with telecom gear manufacturers in India to develop telecom technology
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a US-based chipmaker, has joined forces with Indian 4G and 5G equipment manufacturers such as VVDN and C-DoT to provide telecommunication solutions in India. This collaboration has been made possible due to AMD's acquisition of Xilinx, a programmable logic chip maker. Gilles Garcia, Senior Director Business lead, data center communications group, AMD, they are bringing the latest and most power-efficient technologies to India to power radios, servers, compute requirements at data centers and the edge, and even in the RAN (radio access network).
AMD has a workforce of approximately 10,000 employees in India who are engaged in research and development, validation, software development, and chip architecture design. The company has recently announced an investment of $400 million in India over the next five years to enhance its presence in chip design and software development capabilities. AMD has received a positive response, and its technology is being used by most of the major local vendors of 4G and 5G players and server makers. The company is committed to bringing the ecosystem together and to boosting it as much as possible.
AMD is a fabless company that does not manufacture its own chips. As a result, it has limited opportunities to participate in the manufacturing sector. However,AMD is indirectly involved in transforming India into an electronics manufacturing hub by assisting local vendors such as VVDN in building servers and radio equipment. The fact that they are fabless allows them to work with the ecosystem and encourage the use of local manufacturing. However, since they do not have manufacturing capabilities, they are not directly involved in the Made in India manufacturing aspect of things.
The company exhibited multiple designs at the India Mobile Congress 2023 that utilize AMD's radio devices and a locally manufactured server powered by AMD central processing units. Additionally, the company presented its AI engine, which was the outcome of its acquisition of Xilinx, a US-based chip maker capable of 5G processing. This engine will serve as the foundation for 6G networks.
The upcoming 6G telecommunications technology will have a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence. The focus will be on improving spectrum and efficiency, massive MIMOs (multiple-input, multiple-output), and beam-forming capabilities using AI. The primary benefits of 6G will be related to monetization and user experience. AMD is collaborating with IIT Madras on 6G technology, where the 6G lab is utilizing AI chips to research the next-generation telecommunication network.
