New Delhi/UNI: Reliance Jio will launch its 5G network and services in the second half of next year, promoter Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, said on Tuesday.
"I assure you that JIO will pioneer the 5G Revolution in India in the second half of 2021," Ambani said addressing India Mobile Congress.
"It will be powered by indigenous-developed network, hardware and technology components," he told the audience amidst which was Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
"JIO’s 5G service will be a testimony to your inspiring vision of ATMA-NIRBHAR," he told Mr Modi, who earlier in the session asked the telecom industry to ensure an early launch of 5G network in the country.
Ambani on his part said policy steps are needed to accelerate an early rollout of 5G, and to make it affordable and available everywhere.
He said the demand for digital hardware will grow enormously as digitalisation of the Indian economy and society picks up speed.
The RIL chairman also foresees India becoming a hub of the Fab industry, as the country has developed world-class strengths in chip design.
"I clearly foresee India becoming a major hub for state-of-the-art semiconductor industry."
