Reliance Industries Ltd Chairman Mukesh Ambani on Monday announced that the company will roll out 5G services in metro cities by Diwali. He also informed about a Rs. 2 lakh crore investment in deploying fifth-generation or 5G telephony. The information was provided by Ambani at Reliance Industries' 45th Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Jio will launch 5G services by Diwali in metro cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai, Ambani said adding this will be expanded to other cities and towns in phases to cover entire India in 18 months by December 2023. He further said that Jio has deployed standalone 5G stack rather than upgrading the existing 4G network, to offer ultra-high speed internet.
It can be known that the government aims to begin the rollout of 5G, which it says can provide data speeds about 10 times faster than 4G, by October this year. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recently also said that 6G services will be coming to the country before 2030.
