At the AGM, RIL boss Mukesh Ambani announced that the Jio AirFiber 5G Wi-Fi service will launch in India on Ganesh Chaturthi 2023. He also said that the upcoming 5G Wi-Fi service will use Jio’s pan-India 5G network and advanced wireless technology to “bypass the need for last-mile fibre.”
Jio Smart Home Services will let users access their connected smart home devices, set parental controls, strengthen network security, troubleshoot issues, receive suggestions for Wi-Fi extenders and let users access Jio apps via the Jio Home app. While Jio AirFibre will provide 5G connectivity, accessibility will be provided using the Jio set-top-box.
At the AGM, Ambani announced that Jio subscribers were using 25GB of data per user per month. He also said that the total traffic per month on Jio’s Network stood at 1,100 Cr GB. He also said that Jio was the first operator in the world to launch mm-wave spectrum using standalone 5G and that the company will complete the pan-India deployment of its 5G network in December 2023.
At the event, Mukesh Ambani said that Jio Platforms is poised to become a global leader in the development of 6G capabilities. He also said that Jio would be the first company in the world to develop the 6G capabilities.
Mukesh Ambani also said that he is excited about the AI revolution that is taking place in the world. He also said that going forward, Jio would focus on India-specific AI models. “Within the RIL Group, we are rapidly augmenting our talent pool and capabilities to swiftly assimilate the latest global innovations in AI, especially the recent advances in Generative AI. Looking ahead, Jio Platforms wants to lead the effort in developing India-specific AI models and AI-powered solutions across domains, thereby delivering the benefit of AI to Indian citizens, businesses and government alike,” Ambani said.
At the event, Akash Ambani announced the Jio True5G Developer platform, which he described as a comprehensive platform combining Jio’s 5G network, edge computing, and a spectrum of applications and services. “It gives enterprises the control and options to activate network slices on demand, deploy applications on Jio’s multi-access edge-compute locations, and access a diverse ecosystem of partner applications – all within a single platform,” he said.
Akash Ambani also announced the Jio True 5G Lab, which is a facility designed to accelerate industry transformation using the Jio True 5G. In this facility, the company’s technology partners and enterprise customers will be able to develop, test, and co-create multiple industry-specific solutions. “The inaugural Jio True5G Lab will be located at the Reliance Corporate Park, acting as a nerve centre for shaping India's 5G future,” Ambani said.
