Jio 5G rollout progress
Jio is one of the few telecom players that has got permission from DoT (Department of Telecommunications) to test 5G services in India. Jio recently opened up its 5G field testing in Mumbai. The 5G trials using indigenous technology are expected to expand to other cities also very soon. According to a report by Qualcomm, Jio 5G was able to achieve a speed of 1Gbps during the trials using indigenous technology.
Intel has also partnered with Jio to develop 5G networking technology. Jio has reportedly developed a complete 5G solution in-house. It has been relying completely on home-grown hardware and solutions. Reliance Jio is also expected to test 5Gi in India, which is a technology that has been jointly developed by IIT Madras and IIT Hyderabad.
Jio is also developing Virtualised Radio Access Network (RAN) in collaboration with Qualcomm to improve the pace of the 5G rollout in India.
About Reliance Jio
Jio was the first telecom operator to launch an affordable 4G service in India and it was later followed by other operators. This time, three major telecom operators including Airtel, VI and Reliance Jio are almost head-to-head in launching the next-gen technology in India. All three telecom companies are working to develop their 5G solution for the country. Jio had rolled out the 4G service at really affordable pricing, which played a major role in its widespread reach in India. The 5G service is though not expected to be as cheap as 4G because of its next-generation hardware and infrastructure requirements.
