Stated Use Cases

drone and vehicle tracking, traffic management and critical-infrastructure monitoring

Tejas Networks has issued a press release on a technology demonstration with Qualcomm Technologies at India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2026. It describes a showcase of research-stage technology and its possible uses.

What was announced

• Tejas Networks and Qualcomm Technologies are jointly demonstrating Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) at IMC 2026.
• ISAC is described as a foundational technology for 6G, letting wireless networks work like radar systems and sense the environment around them.

How the demonstration works

• It brings together Tejas Networks' 5G base station and Qualcomm Technologies' Radio Unit (RU) and Distributed Unit (DU) chipsets.
• These are supported by low-power compute and AI inference capabilities.
• Communication signals are also used to detect and track objects such as moving vehicles on city roads and drones in strategic areas, without dedicated sensing infrastructure.

Where it could apply

• Drone and vehicle tracking, traffic management and critical-infrastructure monitoring.
• The release says ISAC can combine connectivity, sensing and AI-driven analytics, and points to the AI-native architecture envisioned for 6G.

What the company said

Dr. Kumar N. Sivarajan, Chief Technology Officer of Tejas Networks, described ISAC as one of the most promising technology directions for future 6G networks, saying it can unlock applications across transportation, public safety, industrial automation, smart cities and defence, and create a new value proposition for mobile operators. Rajen Vagadia, President, Qualcomm India, said the collaboration demonstrates wide-area sensing on live 5G infrastructure and called it a step in India's journey towards 6G.

About the company

Tejas Networks designs and manufactures high-performance wireline and wireless networking products for telecommunications service providers, internet service providers, utilities, defence and government entities in over 75 countries. It is part of the Tata Group, with Panatone Finvest Ltd. (a subsidiary of Tata Sons Pvt. Ltd.) as the majority shareholder.

Caution

The release carries a safe harbour statement noting that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results could differ materially.

What to take away

This is a technology and visibility update rather than a commercial announcement. It shows the direction of the company's next-generation wireless work alongside a global chipmaker, while real-world use would depend on how operators adopt such technology.
