Since the launch of its 5G services in October, Indian telecom giant Reliance Jio has covered 33 districts in Gujarat with its “Jio True 5G” network. As a result, Gujarat has become the first state in India to achieve 100% 5G coverage.
According to the report, Reliance Jio is now offering 5G services in 12 cities in India, including Mumbai, Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Chennai, Varanasi, Kolkata, Pune, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Faridabad.
It is worth mentioning that local Jio users can join its 5G network and get 5G services without paying any additional charges. However, this is likely to be temporary, and according to Indian officials, the charges are expected to start after 5G is fully available.
In an official statement, Jio said, “Starting November 25, Jio customers in Gujarat will be invited to join the Jio 5G service and experience unlimited data traffic at speeds up to 1Gbps for free.”
During the launch of 5G, Reliance Jio assured its customers that the new 5G service can be used based on their existing 4G SIM cards. Since securing the widest spectrum in the 5G spectrum auction earlier this year, Reliance Jio now offers the most diverse 5G services covering the 700MHz, 3500MHz, and 26GHz bands.
According to publicly available information, only Airtel and Jio are currently offering 5G services among India’s top three telecom providers, while Vodafone Idea has yet to offer 5G support. reliance Jio’s True 5G network is an SA network, which is different from Airtel’s 5G Plus (NSA).
The three major carriers in China can also join the 5G network without opening a 5G package, and by default, they can get a 4G full speed (300-500Mbps) experience.
