The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at Punjab Engineering College (Deemed to be University), Chandigarh, organized an insightful session today as part of the ongoing Special Training Program on "Broadband Public Protection and Disaster Relief". The program, designed by the Regional Police Wireless Training Institute, Chandigarh, in association with the National Centre of Excellence in Technology for Internal Security (NCETIS), IIT Bombay, witnessed the participation of 56 officers from various defense portals and forces across the country, including the Police from various states, CRPF, Army, NDRF, CISF, SSB, ITBP, DCPW, LSA, and BSF.

The session was graced by Prof. Rajesh Kumar Bhatia, Director (Ad Interim), Punjab Engineering College, along with Mr. HS Shrihari, Deputy Director of the Regional Police Wireless Training Institute, Prof. Arun Kumar Singh, Head of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Dr. Simranjit Singh, Associate Professor (ECE), and Mr. Vivek Kumar Sood, among other dignitaries.Participants were introduced to cutting-edge advancements and practical demonstrations, including the use of the 5G Use Case Lab, image processing with 5G networks, drone operations and movement, and the tracking of drones through various programs. Discussions also delved into the potential applications of 5G networks in military and defense operations, emphasizing their role in safeguarding the nation.

Prof. Rajesh Kumar Bhatia, in his address, reflected on the illustrious legacy of Punjab Engineering College, highlighting the institution's pivotal contributions to the nation's development. He paid tribute to distinguished alumni such as Dr. Kalpana Chawla, Dr. Satish Chandra Dhawan, and Er. Jaspal Singh Bhatti. Prof. Bhatia also recounted how PEC played a crucial role in producing the first aerospace engineers on the recommendation of the Defense forces during the 1965 war.

Prof. Arun Kumar Singh showcased the institute's state-of-the-art facilities, including the 5G Use Case Lab and the Semiconductor Lab, noting that PEC is among the select 100 institutions nationwide honored by the Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, with the establishment of a 5G Use Case Lab. He elaborated on the role of drones in defense operations, including radaring criminal locations and targeting key areas through programmed systems.

Dr. Simranjit Singh further detailed the working of the 5G Use Case Lab, emphasizing its integration with drone technology. He demonstrated various components, including antennas, technical systems, and AI-driven cameras, showcasing their capabilities when powered by the 5G network. The session was highly interactive, with participants sharing their real-world experiences of using drones and other technologies in areas such as detection, information acquisition, and traffic control.

Mr. Vivek Kumar Sood (Senior Lab Technician) provided a fascinating narrative on the evolution of communication technologies, tracing the journey from floppy disks and landline phones to the era of 5G networks. Dr. Mandeep further expanded on the diverse applications of drones across sectors. Sh. Ram Surat and Sh. Ram Dev also played a pivotal role in the smooth conduct of this session.

The event concluded on an engaging and enthusiastic note, leaving participants equipped with knowledge and inspiration to leverage emerging technologies in their respective domains.
