Tata Elxsi, a design and technology services company today, opens its ‘xG-Force’ lab in Bengaluru to accelerate 5G innovation across transportation, healthcare, Industry 4.0, media and communication sectors.
Manoj Raghavan, MD and CEO of Tata Elxsi, and Kevin Plunkett, Vice President of Cloud Services at Boost Mobile (formerly DISH Wireless), an EchoStar company, inaugurated the xG-Force lab.
The xG-Force lab benefits customers by reducing OPEX with AI-led smart operations, enabling new revenue streams, driving data-driven innovations, and supporting the subscription economy.
Boost Mobile will be the first company to benefit from the xG-Force lab’s offerings, marking a significant milestone in the partnership between the two companies.
