New Delhi, Feb. 24 -- HFCL Limited has joined a research consortium led by the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT Delhi) to develop hollow-core fiber (HCF) technology. According to HFCL, the project is funded by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and focuses on advancing optical fiber solutions for next-generation communication networks, including 6G and quantum systems.

Hollow-core fiber is an emerging technology designed to reduce transmission latency and energy consumption compared to traditional solid-core fiber. As global demand for AI workloads and hyperscale computing increases, the technology is being explored for high-capacity, long-haul, and latency-sensitive applications. The DoT-supported initiative aims to st...
