For those unfamiliar, mmWave technology is designed to enable both current and future 5G networks to achieve top-of-the-line speed and dependability. This announcement from Jio is significant because the company uses a unique combination of low-band, mid-band, and mmWave spectrum, backed by deep fiber and indigenous technology. This unique blend allows Jio to provide“5G Everywhere and 5G For All Consumers and Enterprises”with low latency and high bandwidth. Additionally, Jio claims to have the highest spectrum footprint with 1,000MHz in the 26GHz mmWave band.
Commenting on the launch, Akash Ambani, the Chairman at Reliance Jio Infocomm said,“Honouring our commitment to the Government of India, the Department of Telecommunications, and the 1.4 billion Indians towards accelerated roll-out of high-quality 5G services, we are proud to announce that we have taken India to the leadership position globally in speed of roll-out of 5G services. This is one of the fastest 5G roll-outs of this scale globally and gives India a prominent position on the global 5G map. The benefits of 5G mmWave include extremely high bandwidth and low latency.”
This will give enterprises looking to deploy emerging and innovative apps faster speeds and less delay than previous wireless networking technologies. mmWave business solutions will expand the market for leased lines by providing equally dependable fixed-wireless services, thereby, digitizing millions of small and medium enterprises with enterprise-grade connectivity and business solutions. This spectrum is capable ofproviding ultra-high-speed broadband of up to 2 Gbps.
