Mumbai, August 1, 2022: Jio, India’s largest digital services provider, today acquired
spectrum in the 700MHz, 800MHz, 1800MHz, 3300MHz and 26GHz bands in the
auctions conducted by the Department of Telecommunications, Government of India.
The acquisition of the right to use this spectrum will enable Jio to build the World’s most
advanced 5G network and further strengthen India’s global leadership in wireless
broadband connectivity. Jio’s 5G network will enable the next generation of digital
solutions that will accelerate India’s AI-driven march towards becoming a US$ 5+ trillion
economy.
Launched just six years ago, Jio has created multiple world records during its roll out of
the largest 4G network in the shortest period of time. Jio’s 4G network provides the
highest quality, most affordable digital services to over 400 million loyal and delighted
customers. Jio will now raise the bar even further with its 5G services.
Jio has been a front-runner in embracing technologies of the future and unlocking their
full potential for the benefit of India, Indians and Indian businesses. Jio has demonstrated
its visionary commitment yet again, as India enters the 5G era. As with Jio 4G that blurred
the line between Bharat and India and provided every Indian the best connectivity at the
most affordable price globally, Jio 5G will ensure that every Indian gets to access the
most transformative digital services and platforms offered anywhere in the world.
Jio’s 5G solution is made in India, by Indians and to suit the need of every Indian. Jio is
fully ready for 5G rollout in the shortest period of time because of its nationwide fibre
presence, all-IP network with no legacy infrastructure, indigenous 5G stack and strong
global partnerships across the technology ecosystem.
