In a statement, Jio said, “Post the successful demonstration of its True-5G services at the India Mobile Congress 2022, Jio is announcing the Beta trial of its True-5G services on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra, for Jio users in 4 cities – Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Varanasi.
Dussehra symbolizes the triumph over hurdles caused by legacy technologies such as 2G, with knowledge and wisdom that Jio True 5G will genuinely enable.”
Earlier, Mukesh Ambani had said that Reliance Industries Limited’s 5G network will cover the farthest corners of India and provide its services by December next year.
Ambani also said that he expects the technology to help India become a major exporter of high-value digital solutions and services as 5G can help the country emerge as the capital of the world.
Reliance is counting on 5G deployment across the country to help entice high-paying wireless users and boost its e-commerce and media business, though the technology has yet to prove profitable for other Asian wireless operators.
Ambani in his speech had said that 5G is much more than just next generation connectivity technology.
“It is a fundamental technology that unlocks the full potential of other transformational technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, robotics, blockchain and the metaverse,” he said.
