At the intersection of space-tech and real-world problem solving, innovation finds its true orbit and that’s exactly what unfolded during the recent visit by Jain University students to our NavIC Center of Excellence.
This wasn’t just a lab visit. It was a hands-on journey into the future of indigenous navigation technology a space where curiosity met cutting-edge, and learning went far beyond the classroom.
Exploring NavIC: India’s Navigation Powerhouse
The visit began with an interactive introduction to NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation). Students gained first-hand exposure to how NavIC:
- Enables high-precision applications in agriculture, disaster management, marine navigation, and logistics.
- Powers next-gen location-based services in smart cities and IoT.
- Offers greater accuracy and reliability in regions where traditional GPS falters.
Through immersive demos and simplified technical walkthroughs, students saw NavIC not as a distant “space tech,” but as a practical innovation ecosystem they could contribute to.

From Curiosity to Capability
Guided by our expert team, the students were introduced to real-time NavIC-enabled modules, receivers, tracking systems, and simulation setups that brought the concept to life.
They explored:
- The architecture of NavIC vs GPS vs Baidu vs GLONAS vs Galileo.
- Hands-on sessions with live tracking data.
- A behind-the-scenes look at how satellite communication integrates with microcontroller platforms (like 4G LTE Module SimCom A7672S)
The response? A buzz of insightful questions, spontaneous brainstorming, and enthusiastic engagement that transformed a tech tour into an inspiration accelerator.
Why It Mattered?
This initiative wasn’t just about showcasing tech, it was about bridging the gap between academia and real-world applications.
For the students, the visit offered:
- Clarity on how navigation systems impact industries
- Motivation to explore satellite technology as a career path
- Inspiration to think beyond textbooks and into innovative implementation
For us, it reinforced the reason we exist, to democratize deep-tech and open doors for tomorrow’s engineers, thinkers, and creators.
The Edge We Offer
As a brand committed to indigenous innovation and practical skill-building, our NavIC Center of Excellence stands as more than a facility, it’s a launchpad for new ideas, partnerships, and progress. We’re proud to collaborate with forward-thinking institutions like Jain University, where talent meets tenacity. Because when young minds meet powerful tech the possibility becomes reality.
Final Thoughts
The future of India’s navigation systems isn’t just in satellites it’s in the hands of students like these. And at our NavIC Center of Excellence, we’ll continue nurturing that future, one visit, one mind, and one bold idea at a time.
