'We'll Build Digital Statue Of Unity': Reliance Jio Chairman Akash Ambani Announces Swift 5G Network Rollout
Ambani stated that Jio successfully met this challenge and has set a record by deploying over 10 lakh 5G cells across all 22 circles of India, with a 5G cell installed every 10 seconds.
At the ongoing Indian Mobile Congress, Reliance Jio, under the leadership of chairman Akash Ambani, has initiated the swiftest rollout of a 5G mobile telephony network worldwide. This involves deploying a 5G cell every 10 seconds. Ambani shared that India now stands among the top three nations with a thriving 5G user base, exceeding 125 million subscribers. He acknowledged the instrumental role of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership in uniting the nation and expressed the company's commitment to eliminate digital exclusion in India. Ambani pledged to construct a digital Statue of Unity, symbolising India's towering aspirations and accomplishments through the force of technology.
“We promise you that through the power of technology, we will build a digital Statue of Unity. This too will be the tallest in aspiration and achievement,” Ambani said. “If anyone wants to get a glimpse of how a developed India is being built, all they should do is come to the India Mobile Congress."
He commended Prime Minister Modi's inspirational leadership, emphasising the importance of visionary leaders in every generation. Ambani emphasised the government's focus on embracing innovation, encouraging change, and challenging conventional norms, reflecting the youth's enthusiasm for advancing technology to enhance the lives of the people.
Ambani also highlighted India's globally recognised digital public infrastructure, which has connected 1.4 billion Indians. The principle of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas' has ensured that development reaches every corner of the nation, irrespective of regional, religious, or caste differences.
Ambani stated that Jio successfully met this challenge and has set a record by deploying over 10 lakh 5G cells across all 22 circles of India, with a 5G cell installed every 10 seconds. Jio has contributed significantly to India's 5G capacity, providing one of the fastest 5G internet speeds globally. Impressively, the 5G rollout is powered entirely by a 100 per cent in-house 5G stack developed and manufactured by Indian talent.
He continued by announcing Jio's ability to provide 5G access to more than 200 million previously unconnected homes and premises, effectively positioning India as the broadband capital of the world. With over 125 million 5G users, 5G technology promises to create new employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for millions of Indians, benefiting both job seekers and job creators.
Ambani also highlighted Jio's recent launch of the revolutionary Jio Bharat device, a 4G smartphone priced at just Rs 999, making it more affordable than most 2G phones. These pioneering initiatives, Ambani asserted, are poised to eradicate digital exclusion in India once and for all.
