Indigenising 5G Communication With Optimus Rhino 5G

Defence startup OptimusLogic Systems, based in Bengaluru, is making waves across all bands of the 5G spectrum with their indigenously designed 5G mobile phone

Throngs of people and the telecom behemoths bore witness on October 1, 2022, as India was ushered into a new era of technological advancements with the inauguration of the 5G band, at the 6th Edition of India Mobile Congress 2022, at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. On this momentous occasion, a small but enterprising group of individuals unveiled India’s first indigenously manufactured 5G smartphone—Optimus Rhino 5G.

As a Digital Communication Innovation Square (DCIS) scheme grantee, and with the support of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), the company has been able to manufacture a 5G smartphone that can support all the 5G bands in a very small form factor.
