The FWC program is a specialized certificate program focused on both the hardware and software aspects of 5G and 6G R&D. The course is conducted by IIIT-Bangalore and the IIITB COMET Foundation , under the aegis of the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) initiated by the Department of Science and Technology (DST).
To be the pioneering centre for Advanced Communication Systems research and development, creating globally competitive technologies and highly skilled manpower in 5G and beyond wireless domains. Our goal is to position India as a global leader in CPS technologies. We are dedicated to fostering a vibrant ecosystem of innovation, driving indigenous technology development, and translating cutting-edge research into sustainable, real-world applications.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial deployment in Advanced Communication Systems. We strive to accelerate the commercialization of indigenously developed technologies, provide world-class technical education, and nurture deep-tech startups to contribute significantly to India's digital future and self-reliance in cyber-physical systems.
Capturing moments from our workshops, research labs, and student activities
We plan to train at least 500 engineers in advanced wireless technologies by 2026. This program directly addresses the acute shortage of skilled manpower required for the indigenization of 5G networks and future wireless systems.
