The largest telecom company in the country, Reliance Jio, has said that by December 2023, it will offer ultra-high-speed internet connectivity to the whole of India. Recently, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani stated that while India may have delayed in introducing 5G services, it will lead the way by spreading out the 5G service nationwide. At the India Mobile Congress (IMC) meeting, he stated:
“Today, I want to reiterate Jio’s commitment to deliver 5G to every town, every taluka, and every tehsil of our country by December 2023.”
At the annual shareholder meeting of his company, Reliance Industries Ltd., Ambani stated that by Diwali, 5G services would be available in Delhi, Bombay, Kolkata, and Chennai. He added that since the majority of Jio’s 5G was built in India, it bears the seal of “Atmanirbhar Bharat,” and that 5G and 5G networks’ digital solutions can make access to high-quality, reasonably priced skills and education development possible for ordinary India
He stated that 5G can deliver high-quality healthcare to rural and isolated places by transforming current healthcare facilities into smart hospitals without requiring a large additional investment. It will make the best doctors’ services digitally accessible anywhere in India, enhancing the speed and accuracy of diagnostics, and enabling real-time clinical decision-making.
By increasing the digitization and smart data management of the agriculture, industry, trade, informal, services sector, transport, and power infrastructure, he claimed that 5G can also close the gap between rural and urban India.
Speaking at the event, Ambani asserted that by leveraging demographic trends and digital technologies, India can become the top digital society in the world, fulfilling the twin objectives of speeding growth and promoting inclusive development. Through this by 2047, India’s GDP would grow to $40 trillion from its current $3 trillion value, and its per capita income would rise quickly to over $20,000 from its current $2,000 value.
Ambani also that 5G is far more than simply the next level of communication technology. 5G offers foundational tech that opens the maximum potential of other revolutionary technologies including artificial intelligence, the IoT, robotics, cryptocurrency, and the metaverse.
On October 1, Prime Minister Narendra Modi formally introduced 5G services in India during the 6th India Mobile Congress at Delhi’s Pragati Maidan. Fast-speed internet connectivity with low delay is projected to be offered through 5G services, altering the existing data landscape.
5G services will provide high data rates, low latency, and a very reliable communications infrastructure. 5G services will improve energy, spectrum, and network efficiency. Millions of IoT devices will be connected with the help of 5G technology, which will also enable the delivery of vital services and higher-quality mobile video services.
Precision agriculture, real-time disaster monitoring, and reducing human involvement in risky industrial activities like deep mining and offshore work will be made possible by 5G.
To build out its network, Jio is expending over Rs 2 trillion. In the most recent auction, Jio purchased 24,740 MHz of spectrum in a number of bands. In the 5G spectrum auction, Reliance Industries’ Jio came out on top as the biggest spender, securing frequencies worth $11 billion to expand its wireless network throughout the world’s second-largest mobile market i.e India.
Reliance Jio entered the telecom market in September 2016 by giving out free calls and incredibly inexpensive data, compelling the competitors to either catch up or go out of business. With more than 42.62 crore customers, Reliance Jio is the largest network mobile network in India and the world’s third biggest network operator.
