Bangalore: Boeing and its research
partners Wipro Ltd., HCL Technologies
Ltd. and the Indian Institute of Science
(IISc) has announced the successful
development of wireless and network
technologies that can be applied to
future airplane development through their
joint Aerospace Network Research
Consortium (ANRC).
ANRC researchers developed wireless
system antennas that can be etched onto
an airplane’s interior panels and sensors
that harvest energy from the airplane
environment. These technologies have
the potential to reduce wiring, batteries
and weight, which would reduce fuel and
power use.
In a statement, Prat Kumar, President of
Boeing India, said research and
technology development are the
backbone of a complex industry like
aviation and support the evolution of
future technologies in other areas. “We
are very pleased to collaborate with
Indian partners on this truly innovative
work through the ANRC, which
demonstrates the mutual benefit of
partnership between Boeing and India”.
“Boeing’s collaboration with Indian
companies and researchers to develop
wireless technologies at ANRC will make
our future airplanes more competitive
and support new engineering capabilities
in India,” said Mike Sinnett, VP –
Product Development, Boeing
Commercial Airplanes.
Since ANRC’s founding in 2007,
researchers from the four partners have
produced more than 100 papers for
international scientific journals on
technologies to improve cellular, internet
and entertainment systems on aircraft
and in airports, among other projects.
The findings may also be applied to the
energy, healthcare and communications
sectors.
“ANRC is India’s successful consortium
of academia and industry to focus on
industry-relevant fundamental research,”
said Prof. H.S. Jamadagni of IISc’s
Department of Electronic Systems
Engineering and ANRC Executive Board
member.
“The ANRC is delivering on its mission to
conduct world-class research on
networking technologies for aerospace,”
said Narayan Shenoy, GM – Product
Engineering Services, Wipro Ltd. “We are
excited to see the results of proof-of-
concepts and are keen to scale-up the
application of research findings across
multiple industries.”
“By leveraging ANRC’s unique
collaborative model and HCL’s R&D
experience in aerospace & defence with
IPs in wireless networking and cognitive
radio technology, HCL is contributing to
the development of next generation
aerospace systems and networks,” said
GH Rao, President, Engineering and R&D
Services, HCL Technologies.
