Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A),  a premier measurement company and a technology leader in communications, electronics, life sciences and chemical analysis today announced a collaboration with PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, for the setting up of an Advanced Wireless Communications Lab at their campus.

Ranked amongst the top 25 engineering colleges in India, PSG has started a new postgraduate course in communications, focusing on Wireless Technologies.

Apart from providing 50 % of the cost for setting up this lab, Agilent, made recommendations on the syllabus and lab infrastructure requirements of this new course to the ECE Department. Once operational, Agilent will also help the ECE Department connect with the Indian wireless ecosystem for research projects, as well as job placements for its students.

This is the second time Agilent has been associated with PSG; previously Agilent helped establish complete Multipurpose Lab in 2008.

“We are happy to work with Agilent who we consider as industry experts in the field of wireless communications” said Dr. S. Subha Rani, HOD, ECE Dept at PSG.

“We are more than a test equipment vendor”, says Arun Dogra, Vice President and Country Manager for Agilent EMG operation, India. “Our technical experts who provide domain expertise on cutting-edge technologies provide value to leading OEM companies involved in product development. PSG can definitely leverage this knowledge coupled with our high technology products in not only enhancing the faculty, but also offer unique value in PG/ PhD programs which will differentiate them from other institutes.”

“Agilent is pleased to be associated with a prestigious institute like PSG, Coimbatore. We have recommended relevant topics for their new PG program and have provided test equipments and design tools” said V. V. Pathy, Agilents India education business development manager.

The lab called as the “PSG-Agilent Advanced Communications Lab”, will be formally inaugurated in February 2012
