Reliance Jio and Qualcomm Technologies Inc have expanded their efforts to develop 5G solutions in India and have achieved a speed of 1 Gbps during trials.
Jio Platforms and US-based Qualcomm Technologies, which has taken a stake in the former, are fast-tracking the indigenous 5G network infrastructure and services thereby putting India in the exclusive club of nations that offer users speeds of 1 gigabyte per second (Gbps). Jio Platforms and Qualcomm also announced that they achieved over a 1 Gbps milestone on the Jio 5GNR solution, leveraging the Qualcomm® 5G RAN (radio access networks) Platforms. «This achievement not only supports Jio’s 5G credentials but also signifies the entry of Jio and India into the Gigabit 5G NR product portfolio,» a joint press release from the companies said. The development is in line with the words of Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani, who announced in July that Jio was developing made-in-India 5G technology. “Jio has developed a complete 5G solution from scratch. This will enable us to launch a world class 5G service in India using a 100% homegrown technology and solution.
