Meanwhile, Reliance Jio is set to launch high-speed 5G telecom services by Diwali in several key cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai this year.
Thereafter, it intends to extend its 5G network to every city, tehsil and talukas across the country by December 2023, which is 18 months in nearly 18 months.
Reliance Jio Infocomm acquired spectrum in the 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 3300 MHz and 26 GHz bands in the recently concluded 5G auction conducted by the Ministry of Telecommunications, where the government received approximately ₹1.5 lakh bid.
Compared to 3G and 4G, 5G has very low latency which will improve user experience in various industries. Low latency describes the efficiency of processing a very high volume of data messages with minimal delay.
Reliance Jio, Adani Group, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea were the four main participants in the spectrum auction.
