TCS is a Diamond Sponsor for IEEE ANTS-17. ANTS is a premier IEEE forum on networking and telecommunications topics is the only conference in India, which is financially sponsored by IEEE Communications Society.

The distinguishing characteristic of IEEE ANTS 2017 is the promotion of an intense dialogue between academia and industry to bridge the gap between academic research, industry initiatives and governmental policies

This is fostered through panel discussions, keynotes, invited talks and industry exhibits where academia is exposed to state-of-practice and results from trials and interoperability experiments

The industry, in turn, benefits from exposure to leading-edge research in networking as well as the opportunity to communicate with academic researchers regarding practical problems that require further research

This year the theme is “Communications for Smart City”

As Bhubaneswar is gearing up to build smart city, the theme of the conference will foster an environment for deliberating on different research aspects on the said topic.
