ELE Times : In Major research labs especially in IIT ’ s , scholars often uses equipment for complex tasks , taking such scenario how difficult it becomes to offer high precision while maintaining cost and repairing . Vikram Khurana : In institutes like IITs , research scholars need the high end equipment for their project on latest technologies e . g . high end Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes , Logic Analyzers , Signal Generators , Signal Analyzers , Vector Network Analyzers etc . apart from many other SW design and test tools . These are quite expensive set of equipment . Since requirement is short-term in practical exposure to latest technologies so that they can face the challenges once they join the industry . Given the complexity and rapid changes in the technologies , practical experience is very crucial for students to be successful in their future careers . However , due to high cost of test equipment and limited budgets available , it sometimes becomes very difficult for colleges to provide suitable facilities to their students . ELE Times : What are the advantages that your company offers to the Engineering College buying equipment for its lab ? Vikram Khurana : We are geared up to provide following solutions
