As the Ambani-led telecom major emerged as the top bidder in the country’s 5G spectrum auction, Reliance Jio’s Chairman Akash Ambani affirmed that the company is committed to offer world-class, affordable 5G and 5G-enabled services in the country.

He stated, “We will provide services, platforms and solutions that will accelerate India’s digital revolution, especially in crucial sectors like education, healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing and e-governance.”

Jio is fully ready for 5G rollout in the shortest period of time because of its nationwide fibre presence, all-IP network with no legacy infrastructure, indigenous 5G stack and strong global partnerships across the technology ecosystem, stated the company.

The speed, scale and societal impact of Jio’s 4G rollout is unmatched anywhere in the world. Now, with a bigger ambition and stronger resolve, Jio is set to lead India’s march into the 5G era, Akash Ambani said.

In the mega 5G auction this month, Reliance Jio was the top bidder, acquiring airwaves for Rs 88,078 crore, compared to competitors Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea, that bought airwaves worth Rs 43,084 crore and Rs 18,784 crore, respectively.
