Norden Communication partners C-DAC to make thermal cameras used by security agencies
Norden Communication on Tuesday announced that it has partnered with the Centre for Development and Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to create AI-based general purpose thermal cameras for security and industrial applications. C-DAC is a R&D (research & development) organisation under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). This exclusive partnership is based on Transfer of Technology (ToT) for the development of ‘General Purpose Thermal Camera’.
“This collaboration stands as an opportunity to advance in surveillance technology and demonstrates unwavering dedication to national security as a part of the Make-in-India initiative,” said Prashant Oberoi, Director – India and SAARC of Norden Communication.
UK-based Norden Communication offers a range of reliable and tested products for various environments, including telecommunications, surveillance systems, and public address systems, including Norden Cabling System, Norden surveillance System, Norden Public Address systems, and Norden UPS Systems.
Norden, which specialises in the manufacture and distribution of Extra-Low Voltage (ELV) solutions, aligns with the vision of C-DAC in the realm of surveillance technology.
The company stands as a manufacturer of innovative products embedded with smart technology designed for efficient security management. As a Transfer of Technology (TOT) partner, Norden commits to the production, marketing, sale, and implementation of the General-Purpose thermal camera in National Highway, Defense and Oil and Gas sectors.
