Reliance Jio Infocomm Chairman Akash Ambani on Saturday announced the launch of 5G services in Rajasthan from the famous Shrinathji temple in Nathdwara town of Rajsamand.

Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani had visited the temple last month and promised to launch the services in the state from the temple. In 2015 too, Mukesh Ambani had paid a visit to Shrinathji temple before the launch of 4G services.

On October 1, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the 5G telephony services that promise to provide ultra-high-speed internet on mobile phones, Mukesh Ambani had said Reliance Jio, the nation’s biggest telecom firm, will expand 5G services to every part of the country by December 2023.

With speeds multiple times faster than 4G and lag-free connectivity, 5G can enable billions of connected devices to share data in real time. It holds the promise of revolutionising sectors from healthcare and education to agriculture and disaster monitoring.

The 5G services will progressively cover the entire country over the next couple of years — Jio promises to do that by December 2023 and Bharti Airtel by March 2024.

Akash Ambani had taken over the reins of Reliance Jio in June this year.
