Amantya Technologies has been awarded funding under the Telecom Technology Development Fund (TTDF) scheme of the Universal Service Obligation Fund (now "Digital Bharat Nidhi") by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for its ambitious project, "Development of India 5G Stack."
5G Standalone Core Development
The initiative focuses on creating a carrier-grade, 3GPP Release 16/17 compliant 5G Standalone (SA) Core, designed for public and enterprise deployments. Building on its existing 5G SA Core, Amantya aims to develop a secure, scalable, and cloud-agnostic solution with advanced features like network slicing, QoS, URLLC, and mMTC. The system will also support geo-redundancy, high availability, and integration with third-party OSS/BSS and billing systems.
