The centre is designed to leverage Wipro's embedded, telecom and enterprise
expertise in creating data centric solutions for the future. Lockheed Martin and
Wipro Technologies will utilize cutting-edge technologies and real environment
emulation to develop net-enabled capabilities and solutions to employ against
current, real-world problems.

Ambar Jyoti provides an opportunity for indigenous development and
experimentation to identify future capabilities and requirements in
network-centric operations for potential civil and military application.

"We are honored and pleased to be able to provide this capability in
India," said Rick Kirkland ,President South Asia LMGI ."Through this
lab, together we will explore the 'art of the possible' and prepare for
network-centric operations of the future."

"This experimentation and demonstration centre is the first of its kind
in India and we are proud to be a part of this initiative. We are certain that
as a result of this project, the Indian market gets easier access to such
advanced network centric based architectures and concepts," said Dr A L Rao,
Chief Operating Officer of Wipro Technologies.

In the coming months, Lockheed Martin will network Ambar Jyoti with other
such similar centres across the globe so that an increased number of more
complex, real-time, real-world demonstrations can take place in this Indian
facility.
