Renesas Electronics Corporation, a provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, announced a strategic partnership with Tata Motors Ltd. Tejas Networks Ltd. Tata Group companies, in the design, development and manufacturing of Renesas semiconductor solutions to enhance innovation in electronic systems for Indian and emerging markets.
“We see great potential in collaborating with Renesas in areas such as automotive electronics and present and future telecommunications networks. The collaboration will accelerate our presence in these areas, both in India and globally, ” said Natarajan Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons .
These joint efforts extend the companies' long-standing relationship as technology and business partners, including the recently announced Next Generation EV Innovation Center (NEVIC), jointly established by Renesas and the Tata Group's Tata Elxsi in March 2022.
The future of automotive systems design lies in a vehicle-centric, zone-oriented electronic and electrical (E/E) architecture. Renesas and TML will collaborate on the development of next-generation automotive electronics to drive leading performance and vehicle scalability. Renesas, with deep expertise in semiconductor technology, will partner with TML to accelerate the development of electric and connected vehicles to further enhance TML's pre-eminence and market-leading position.
To effectively address evolving customer aspirations, Renesas and TML will explore a non-exclusive partnership on emerging technologies such as ADAS.
Renesas will collaborate with Tejas to implement next-generation wireless networking solutions. This includes the design and development of semiconductor solutions for radio units (RU) used in telecommunications networks, from 4G, 5G, to open radio access networks (O-RAN), which enable open and flexible 5G RAN deployments, enabling broader interoperability. The companies intend to launch products and solutions initially for India and expand their presence in global markets.
Additionally, Renesas and Tata Consultancy Services Ltd., a Tata Group company, will partner to establish a Joint Systems Solutions Development Center in Bangalore. The planned innovation center will focus on comprehensive systems solutions for Infrastructure, Industrial and Automotive IoT, leveraging Renesas' semiconductor solutions and TCS' industry expertise.
“This partnership brings together two leading companies in the sector, creating numerous benefits,” said Hidetoshi Shibata, president and CEO of Renesas. “Renesas and Tata will support the acceleration of progress in advanced electronics and their numerous applications for Indian and emerging markets, putting us on the path to continued success.”
