Domestic telecom gear makers body TEMA countered the claim of TCoE and the academic institution was to undertake research for products that can be tested and tried and used by operators.
Once operators give its clearance, then Academic Institution will give manufacturing rights to some local company. As product would have been tested and tried by operator, so it would be ready for sale in market, TEMA Chairman Emeritus NK Goyal said.
"It is immaterial if local company has deep pocket or not. Local companies have technology, products. They are manufacturing optical products, wireless products and lot others. If TCoE has developed any new product or applications acceptable to operators, then Indian Industry is in a position to start manufacturing the same immediately," Goyal said.
