Jio 5G services in India announced
Jio has officially announced the 5G services in India. The roll-out will begin in the country by this Diwali in major cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Delhi. It will expand to other cities and towns in phases rapidly to cover the entire country by December 2023. The company says that its 5G rollout plan will be the fastest in the world. Unlike other networks, Jio’s 5G will have zero dependencies on the 4G network and will be standalone.
The standalone 5G services are claimed to deliver new and powerful services like low latency, massive- machine-to-machine communication, 5G voice, edge computing, network slicing, and the metaverse. To build a pan-India true 5G network, Jio has committed a total investment of Rs 2 lakh crores. Jio has indigenously developed an end-to-end 5G stack, which is fully cloud-native, software-defined, and digitally managed with support for even advanced features like Quantum Security.
With 5G, Jio will launch billions of smart sensors with connected intelligence that will trigger the Internet of Things and can even trigger the fourth industrial revolution. Jio says that its 5G network has been developed in-house by 2,000+ young Jio engineers. Jio True 5G is claimed to deliver breakthrough increases in broadband speed and drastically lowers latency.
