Mukesh Ambani confirms of launching Jio 5G in India
PM Narendra Modi launched the Aatmanirbhar Bharat policy on 12th May and discarded using of any kind of foreign products and in reply to this, the billionaire of India, Mukesh India is soon rolling out its Jio 5G services in India in the latter half of 2021. Initially, the testing was planned to be done sooner in this year but due to the current situation of COVID 19, the plan was pushed to the latter half of 2021. On the inaugural session of Indian Mobile Congress, 2020 Ambani made a statement suggesting the government to pace the rollout of Jio 5G in India. He also stated that Jio 5G will create a revolution in India in the coming year.
Ambani also points out some key factors for India’s venture into the pre-eminent digital economy. He points out that almost 300 million mobile subscribers in India are still limited to the 2G services and so he urges the government to make mobile services affordable. This will also ensure deducement in the 2G services and thus reduce cost of the same. Kepping this in mind, Jio also plans to release its Jio Android phone in collaboration with Google, in the first quarter of 2021 and keeping the price tag to Rs. 4000 making 4G services affordable to the poor.
He also suggests the government accelerate the launch of 5G services and make the same affordable for the country since the Indian market is price sensitive. The rollout will entirely depend on the 5G spectrum auctions. Jio also ensures to offer its services relating to education, healthcare, infrastructure to the rest of the world, once it is proven in India.
Ambani also points out that India cannot always depend on imports especially in case of digital hardware. He also states India as a hub of the semiconductor industry in the coming days.
