Jio 5G in India
At last year’s AGM, Reliance Industries’s Mukesh Ambani said Jio will begin testing 5G in mid-2021 and the upcoming AGM coincides with that announcement. The expectation that Jio will outrightly begin 5G trials right after the AGM seems a bit far-fetched. But Jio will definitely have something to show its advances, especially now that the race to the first 5G deployment has got aggressive after Airtel’s announcement that it will begin mass trials of 5G services in January 2022. The Department of Telecom has already granted telecom players permission to use the 700MHz, 3.5GHz, and 26GHz spectrums for 5G.
If you place some hope in Jio’s progress so far in terms of 5G deployment, the telecom company is likely to begin mass 5G trials within this year. But that will be limited to a city or a state in the beginning, so you should not really hope 5G will reach everyone right from the start. Since Jio is hosting trials in Mumbai right now, it is likely Mumbai will get 5G for everyone first. Airtel, on the other hand, is conducting trials in Gurugram.
5G JioPhone
Having said this, in the Reliance Industries meeting last year, the launch of a cheap 5G smartphone was announced. This will be the budget smartphone of the company. Reliance Jio’s 5G smartphone is being made with the help of Google. Custom Android or Android One operating system can be given in Jio phone. In some leaked reports, the launch of Jio Book Laptop and JioBook is being expected.
