partnership between the two companies.
Manoj Raghavan, MD & CEO
of Tata Elxsi, stated, "We are honoured to work with
Boost Mobile as our lead customer on the future of 5G networks. The
xG-Force lab is a vital force multiplier for our customers,
providing a platform to explore, validate, and accelerate the
adoption of emerging technologies. By integrating our expertise in
digital engineering, automation, AI, and application with
industry-specific domains, we develop transformative solutions for
consumers and enterprises."
As the systems integrator for this initiative, Tata Elxsi will
develop and integrate 5G applications with its innovative platforms
— Neuron for autonomous networks, TETHER for connected vehicles,
TEngage for digital health, and TEDAx for big data engineering — to
bring solutions in AI, next-gen communications and advanced
technologies.
The xG-Force lab is set to benefit customers, globally, by
significantly reducing OPEX with AI-led smart operations and
enabling new revenue streams, driving data-driven innovations, and
supporting the subscription economy.
Kevin Plunkett, Vice President
of Cloud Services, Boost Mobile (formerly DISH Wireless),

industry."
Vivek Tiwary, Vice President
and Head of Telecom Business at Tata Elxsi,
stated, "Based on my interactions with leaders in the
telecom industry across the globe, Boost Mobile is considered a
trailblazer with many 'firsts' to its credit. xG-Force is an
ecosystem that primarily aims at creating those solutions that we

rapid adoption of next generation 5G technologies in a
collaborative way while reducing OPEX, by ensuring significant
use-cases are tested in the lab. AccuKnox is excited to be part of
this initiative and looks forward to enabling a secure, vibrant 5G
ecosystem with Tata Elxsi."
The lab will address key areas such as streaming media, private
5G, connected and electric vehicles, network charging stations,
digital health, aerospace and Industry 4.0 solutions for smart
