With this partnership, Reliance hopes to accelerate digital services in the health and education industry in the country
At the 44th AGM concluded earlier in the day, Reliance’s Chairman Mukesh Ambani shared some vital details about India’s 5G plan. He announced Jio’s collaboration with Google Cloud to power Jio 5G solutions and other services that the company provides. Thanks to the partnership, Jio states that it will be able to leverage Google’s expertise in AI and machine learning, e-commerce, and demand forecasting offering. The company feels that this collaboration will help it provide faster and better internet connectivity to its user base in the country. For the uninitiated, India’s leading telecom companies including Jio and Airtel have recently started 5G trials in Mumbai and Gurugram respectively. Both the companies, during these trials, were able to demonstrate download speeds in excess of 1Gbps. With the DoT announcing the roadmap for the commercial rollout of 5G in the country, it is expected that India may see 5G services rolling out sometime early next year.
