The two-year long extendable deal with NTT Advanced Technologies would enable both companies to co-provide services in the telecom, networking, information, and related applications to their customers.

Japanese Telecom company NTT and India’s Telecommunications Consultants of India Limited (TCIL) have come together to cooperate in the areas of fifth generation (5G) technology, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, and submarine cable systems.

The two-year long extendable deal with NTT Advanced Technologies would enable both companies to co-provide services in the telecom, networking, information, and related applications to their customers.

“The parties agree to cooperate, discuss, conduct workshops, and transfer knowledge on non-exclusive basis in order to explore evolution of services such as smart cities, Cybersecurity, 5G, AI, Internet of Things (IoT), skill development, test labs and submarine cable,” the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two companies read.

Through this partnership, India’s state-run telecom engineering and consulting company would be able to leverage Tokyo-based NTT’s system integration, networking and product management expertise within the country and other overseas initiatives through local partner Virgo Corporation.
