Jio True 5G launched in Gujarat, reaching all 33 district headquarters

Gujarat becomes the first state in India to get Jio True 5G in each of the 33 district headquarters from today. ‘Jio Welcome Offer’ users to get unlimited 5G data with up to 1 Gbps+ speeds

at no additional cost.

Reliance Jio, today announced that it has extended its Jio True-5G coverage in each of the 33 district headquarters of Gujarat, thereby making Gujarat the first state in India to get Jio True 5G coverage in 100% of the district headquarters.

As a model state, Jio will launch a series of True 5G-powered initiatives across Education, Healthcare, Agriculture, Industry 4.0 and IOT sectors in Gujarat and then extend it across the country.

It must not be missed that this is a beta test from the telecom operator rather than a commercial launch. Jio's 5G services will only be available to consumers who have been invited through the Welcome offer and who satisfy specific requirements, including as owning a smartphone that supports 5G standalone (SA) and a subscription to a plan priced at Rs 239 or more.

Jio revealed that the launch in Gujarat will happen with an important True 5G-powered initiative

named ‘Education-For-All’, in which Reliance Foundation and Jio are coming together to

initially digitize 100 schools in Gujarat. This initiative will connect schools with:

• JioTrue5G connectivity
• Advanced Content Platform
• Teacher & Student Collaboration Platform
• School Management Platform

According to the company, through the power of this technology, millions of students across the country will be facilitated on a digital journey of empowerment through quality education. Akash M Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, said, “We are proud to share that Gujarat is now the first state to have 100% district headquarters connected with our robust True 5G network. We want to showcase the real power of this technology and how it can impact a billion lives. Reliance Foundation already runs a program named Education & Sports for All (ESA), where it enables and empowers youth at the grass-root level with quality-education and opportunities in sports. Jio and Reliance Foundation will take the ‘Education for All’ initiative to a whole new level by using the powerful 5G-tech along with platforms that

digitize the schools and bring them at par with the best in India and the world."

"5G cannot remain an exclusive service available to the privileged few or those in our largest cities. It must be available to every citizen, every home, and every business across India. Only then can we dramatically increase productivity, earnings, and living standards across our entire economy, thereby creating a prosperous and inclusive society in our country. This is our constant belief, inspired by our We Care philosophy,” he added.

Jio users in Gujarat will be invited to the Jio Welcome Offer, starting 25th November to be able to access unlimited data at up to 1 Gbps+ speeds, at no additional cost.
