Jio aims to be the first to launch 5G service in India
Let us talk about something that everyone has been waiting for, and that is, Jio 5G India launch date. Well, Mukesh Ambani says that Reliance is “confident” that Jio would be the first in the race to launch a “full-fledged” 5G service in India. In simpler terms, Jio 5G could be the first 5G service in India, leaving behind Airtel and Vi. Unfortunately, Reliance hasn’t announced an exact Jio 5G India launch date. According to him, Jio’s “future-proof” network is “uniquely positioned” to “quickly and seamlessly upgrade from 4G to 5G.”
What about the affordable Jio 5G smartphone that everyone has been waiting for? Well, no such announcement was made today. That being said, Mukesh Ambani did reveal a few details about Jio 5G devices. According to him, the company is working with “leading global partners” to develop a “full range of 5G capable devices.” Maybe he meant that Reliance is developing Jio 5G smartphones in collaboration with other companies or maybe he meant that the brand is working on devices like Jio 5G hotspot. Nothing is clear at the moment.
Jio 5G achieves 1Gbps speed during trials
According to Mukesh Ambani, Reliance has a “100% home-grown and comprehensive 5G solution developed by Jio.” While he did not go into detail, we assume that he meant to say that the company has indigenous 5G infrastructure rather than depending on Nokia and Ericsson. He adds that the company’s made in India 5G solution is “comprehensive, complete, globally competitive.” The company also says that once the Jio 5G made in India solution is proven in the Indian market, the company aims to export Jio 5G solution to other telecom operators across the world.
