Reliance Jio to launch 5G network in second half of 2021: Mukesh Ambani
Reliance Jio will pioneer the 5G revolution in
India in the second half of 2021, said Mukesh Ambani on
Tuesday in the inaugural speech at the India Mobile
Congress 2020. Sharing his ideas to make India the world’s
preeminent digital society with ease of living for all, Reliance Jio chairman
said the country is among the best digitally connected nations in the world,
and in order to maintain the lead, policy steps are needed to accelerate an
early rollout of 5G, and to make it affordable and available everywhere.
Ambani asserted that the Reliance Jio 5G network will be
powered by indigenous-developed network, hardware and technology components.
Jio’s 5G service
will be a testimony to the government of India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat mission, he
added.
“I can say with utmost confidence that 5G will enable India to not
only participate in the fourth industrial revolution but also to lead it,” said Mukesh Ambani at IMC
2020.
Ambani also requested the government to urgently work on policy
steps needed to ensure that underprivileged people on 2G network shift to
affordable smartphones so they too can reap benefits such as direct benefit
transfer into their bank accounts, and actively participate in the digital
economy.
