Big deal from Tata Group-related company
A company associated with Tata Group will soon launch such handsets in the country, where the ability to stream audio and video directly without the Internet will be available. This technology that provides direct audio-video and other services on handsets without the Internet is called D2M. The handsets to be launched will be value for money and a US company has been collaborated on for their design and launch.
This agreement signed under the India-US partnership is a major step towards making India self-reliant and becoming the world leader in semiconductors. This agreement has been signed between Sankhya Labs of India, Free Stream Technologies, a company formed at IIT Kanpur, and Sinclair Inc. of the US. The phones to be manufactured under this agreement will be equipped with the Prithvi-3 ATSC 3.0 chipset manufactured by Sankhya Labs.

While Sankhya Labs is working on wireless communications-related devices in the country, Tata Group has recently made a big bet by entering the semiconductor sector and is setting up two factories in the country.
These devices will be tested in the country
Field validation of Sankhya Labs’ device is being carried out in Bengaluru, Delhi and the US. Under the new partnership, not only D2M enabled handsets but also USB dongles, STB/Gateways and low-cost feature phones will be launched and their consumer trials will be conducted. The global market for this technology has started to grow slowly.
