Jio has introduced the 26GHz mmWave 5G band, offering speeds of up to 2Gbps.

Reliance Jio, a game-changer in India’s mobile connectivity, introduced 4G in 2015 and True 5G in 2022. Now, the company is taking another big step by rolling out 26GHz mmWave 5G connectivity for businesses. This move comes after Bharti Airtel recently launched a similar 5G-based 26GHz mmWave spectrum. Jio aims to meet the minimum rollout requirement set by the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) and has already submitted details for Phase 1.

The significance lies in Jio’s unique blend of low-band, mid-band, and mmWave spectrum, supported by deep fiber and indigenous technology. This empowers Jio to provide “universal 5G coverage for all consumers and businesses,” offering both low latency and high bandwidth.

Akash Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Jio Infocomm, commented on the launch, “expressing their commitment to the Indian government, the Department of Telecommunications, and the 1.4 billion citizens for accelerating the rollout of top-notch 5G services. He proudly announced that Jio has propelled India to a leading global position in the rapid deployment of 5G services, emphasizing that this achievement marks one of the swiftest 5G rollouts on a global scale. This accomplishment positions India prominently on the global 5G landscape. Akash Ambani highlighted the advantages of 5G mmWave technology, which encompasses remarkably high bandwidth and minimal latency“.

The mmWave technology empowers both current and future 5G networks, ensuring exceptional speed and reliability. This development benefits businesses seeking to deploy innovative apps, offering faster speeds and reduced delays compared to previous wireless technologies. mmWave business solutions expand leased line markets, bringing reliable fixed-wireless services to millions of small and medium enterprises with enterprise-grade connectivity and business solutions. This frequency range is capable of delivering incredibly fast broadband speeds, reaching up to 2 Gbps.

In summary, Jio’s introduction of 26GHz mmWave 5G connectivity for businesses is a significant step forward, enhancing India’s position in the global 5G landscape. The rollout promises high-speed, low-latency solutions that can transform business operations across the country.
