Jio True 5G Launched In Bengaluru And Hyderabad

Telecom major Reliance Jio on Thursday launched Jio True 5G in Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

As part of the "Jio Welcome Offer", users will be provided unlimited 5G data with up to 1Gbps+ speeds with no extra cost, the company said.

Jio is already testing its Jio True-5G services in six cities including, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Varanasi and Nathdwara.

JioTrue5G, in these two tech-centric cities will help realize the true potential of some of the latest technologies, the company said in a statement.

Last month, Jio announced the launch of the beta trial of its True-5Gservices for Jio users in four cities Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Varanasi, offering users unlimited 5G data with up to 1 Gbps plus speed. 

In a statement, Jio said, "Post the successful demonstration of its True-5G services at the India Mobile Congress 2022, Jio is announcing the Beta trial of its True-5G services on the auspicious occasion of Dussehra, for Jio users in 4 cities – Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Varanasi. Dussehra symbolizes the triumph over hurdles caused by legacy technologies such as 2G, with knowledge and wisdom that Jio True 5G will genuinely enable."

Jio is rolling out its True-5G beta services in a phase-wise manner and is seeking customer feedback as it expands the service to new cities, the telco said.

The network uses stand-alone 5G architecture with a mix of 5G spectrum across 700 MHz, 3500 MHz, and 26 GHz bands.

Reliance, with more than 421 million telecom subscribers, aims to extend its 5G network to “every town” in India by the end of 2023.

The company claims its standalone 5G architecture doesn’t rely on existing 4G network and offers superior performance.

The standalone 5G architecture is based on an end-to-end core 5G network that is built from scratch. The equipment and network functions used in this model are built keeping 5G specifications in mind.
