Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), the premier telecom R&D institution under the
Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India, has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Delhi Police in a landmark step towards advancing technology-driven,
indigenous, and secure policing solutions for the national capital.
This strategic collaboration aims to leverage C-DOT's portfolio of cutting-edge, homegrown technological
solutions to significantly enhance the operational efficiency, secure communications, surveillance,
cybersecurity, and emergency response capabilities of Delhi Police, reinforcing the vision of
Atmanirbhar Bharat in the domain of public safety and law enforcement.
Under the MoU, C-DOT will deploy nine advanced solutions purpose-built for modern policing
requirements. The Facial Recognition System (FRS)/FraudPro will enable identification of suspects,
missing persons, and repeat offenders through photograph-matching with available databases,
strengthening investigation processes, crowd monitoring, and identity verification during law-and-order
deployments. SAMVAD, C-DOT's Unified Communication Solution, will provide a secure platform for
one-to-one and group chats, audio/video calls, and official data sharing, enabling seamless and secure
coordination across units, districts, and specialized branches during both routine operations and
emergencies. Complementing this, SAMVAD Prime, a dedicated specialised handset-based secure
messaging system will be deployed among senior officers and operational teams to ensure confidentiality
and integrity during critical operations.
C-DOT Meet, a secure web-based video conferencing solution featuring multi-camera access,
presentation sharing, and collaborative whiteboards, will facilitate briefings, inter-unit coordination, and
training sessions. The C-DOT Mission Critical Services (MCX) platform will enable secure, private, and
low-latency communications specifically designed for public safety and emergency operations, ensuringreal-time coordination among field officers during large-scale events, disaster response, and law-and-order
situations. The C-DOT Intelligent Attendance System, powered by facial recognition, will enhance
administrative efficiency through accurate attendance recording, prevention of proxy marking, and
strengthened access control at sensitive police installations.
The C-DOT Cell Broadcast Solution will enable geo-targeted dissemination of critical alerts across
mobile devices and public display systems, supporting public advisories, traffic alerts, missing person
notifications, and emergency warnings.
On the cybersecurity front, Trinetra ESOC, an AI-powered integrated security operations platform will
monitor endpoints, identify vulnerabilities, and detect anomalies, safeguarding Delhi Police's IT
infrastructure including the internal ecosystem and internet-facing systems; while Trinetra 360 will
