On October 9, 2026, at the India Mobile Congress (IMC) in Bengaluru, Tejas Networks Ltd (BSE: 540595, NSE: TEJASNET) partnered with Qualcomm Technologies to demonstrate Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) technology, a cornerstone for future 6G networks. The demonstration combined Tejas’s 5G base station with Qualcomm’s Radio Unit (RU) and Distributed Unit (DU) chipsets, supported by low‑power compute and AI inference modules, to showcase how communication signals can be repurposed as pervasive radar for real‑time environmental awareness. In the live showcase, the system detected and tracked moving vehicles on city roads and drones operating in strategic zones, illustrating the potential to extend existing 5G infrastructure into wide‑area sensing for applications such as drone and vehicle tracking, traffic management, and critical‑infrastructure monitoring. Dr. Kumar N. Sivarajan, Chief Technology Officer of Tejas Networks, emphasized that ISAC unlocks spatial intelligence, creating a new value proposition for mobile operators by enabling revenue‑generating services beyond high‑speed connectivity. Rajen Vagadia, President of Qualcomm India, highlighted the importance of strong industry partnerships, stating that the joint demonstration marks a significant step in India’s journey toward 6G and lays the foundation for sensing‑based services across industries. Tejas Networks, a member of the Tata Group with Panatone Finvest Ltd (a subsidiary of Tata Sons Pvt. Ltd.) as its majority shareholder, designs and manufactures high‑performance wireline and wireless networking products for telecom service providers, internet service providers, utilities, defence and government entities in more than 75 countries. Qualcomm described itself as a global computing leader at the centre of the AI era, operating through its licensing business QTL and a broad patent portfolio, with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. handling the majority of its engineering, R&D, and product development activities. The release includes a standard safe‑harbour disclaimer noting that forward‑looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including market, economic, political, and regulatory factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. This announcement signals a tangible progression toward AI‑native 6G architectures and underscores the collaborative effort required to translate emerging 6G concepts into deployable services.
