Jio achieves full potential of a Digital India
Jio was envisioned to create a Digital Society in India, where technology would be the driving force behind positive change in every sphere of life. It has been its greatest privilege to contribute to this revolution, and it has invested its heart and soul into making this vision real.
Jio is fully committed to achieving the full potential of a Digital India, and to help India become a leader on the global stage. It is particularly proud of its speed of the committed True 5G rollout. Today, it has covered the entire country with a robust True 5G network ahead of its promised timeframe of December 2023.
The Jio Chairman said that 85% of the 5G deployment is made by Jio, and added that the telecom company continues to deploy one 5G cell every 10 seconds.
Jio and Airtel both aim to complete their 5G network rollouts soon. Both telcos have claimed to achieve a milestone of 50 million 5G users within a year of launching their fifth-generation mobile networks. Third-ranked Vodafone Idea is yet to announce any plans for its 5G network launch.
