Centre of Innovation in IoT lab set up at GITAM

USA-based semiconductor design and manufacturing company, Silicon Labs, has collaborated with GITAM Deemed to be University to establish a Centre of Innovation in IoT. The lab is equipped with advanced hardware and software tools to foster innovative IoT solutions. Under this partnership, Silicon Labs will provide essential hardware kits, software development tools, training, and technical support, while GITAM will provide the lab space, equipment, and dedicated faculty.

The initiative aims to ignite students’ interest, motivation, and training in building connected electronic systems, paving the way for promising careers in IoT and semiconductor industries.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was exchanged on Tuesday in the presence of GITAM In-Charge Vice-Chancellor Prof. Y. Gowtham Rao, and Silicon Labs senior director (engineering) N. Venkatesh.

Mr. Venkatesh said that Silicon Labs Community Support Forum will offer technical guidance and encourages students to focus on product development rather than conventional project work. Students trained in the lab will gain valuable skills, positioning them as attractive candidates for careers in semiconductor, embedded systems, and advanced electronics fields.
