Eyeying to revolutionise India’s defence and telecom sectors with spectrum analyser drones, Optiemus Infracom join hands with German company LS Spectrum Solutions.
On Thursday, Noida-based telecom and electronics manufacturing group Optiemus Infracom Limited announced a partnership with Germany’s LS Spectrum Solutions to introduce advanced drone-based spectrum analysers to the Indian market.
According to the company, this move aims to enhance Optiemus’ defence sector offerings and contribute to India’s self-reliance goals.
The partnership will see its subsidiary Optiemus Unmanned Systems Private Limited (OUS) assemble and distribute LS Spectrum’s drone technology for spectrum analysis in India. It will facilitate Optiemus’ expansion to spectrum surveillance, direction finding, geolocation, and electronic countermeasures, which are crucial for defence and security.
Initially, Optiemus will focus on marketing and selling LS Spectrum’s spectrum analyser drones, which would serve defence, telecommunications, and civil aviation. These drones will facilitate real-time detection and analysis of spectrum usage, helping to optimise frequency management in India’s busy communications landscape.
Additionally, they will support detecting illicit communications, including those from prisons, a growing concern in India.
Expressing his pleasure about the collaboration, Mr Ashok Gupta, Chairman of Optiemus Infracom, stated, “We are excited to expand our product offerings with OUS and leverage our distribution capabilities. This collaboration will enhance the ‘Make in India’ mission and strengthen our market position.”
Prasad Kerkar, Director of LS Spectrum Solutions, echoed similar enthusiasm: “This partnership marks a significant milestone in our commitment to India’s technology landscape. We are optimistic about the opportunities here and look forward to working closely with Optiemus to promote our innovative drone-based solutions.”
Although no financial information or investment behind this deal was disclosed, Optiemus highlighted that this aligns with India’s goal of becoming a global leader in drone technology, which is projected to strengthen its manufacturing sector to $23 billion by 2030.
