Reliance Jio True 5G: Cities covered so far

On October 1st, 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the availability of 5G in India at the India Mobile Congress held in Delhi. It is anticipated that by the end of 2023, 75% of the population will have access to the fifth-generation cellular network, which is currently operational across the nation.

Reliance Jio is the only telco in India to opt for Standalone 5G. SA (Standalone) structure's need for a separate network distinguishes 5G as an independent technology since it is not installed on current 4G networks. Due to its complete separation from the 4G network, 5G SA is not constrained by it.

Jio is rolling out its True-5G beta services in a phased manner and is seeking customer feedback as it expands the service to new cities.

If you are a Reliance Jio user with a 5G-enabled smartphone, you could get your hands on ‘True 5G’ as a part of a beta trial for the 5G service. Reliance Jio is launching 5G services as a part of the beta trial since October 5th, 2022. As it goes without saying, it will be available for a selected set of customers. Only Invited Jio Welcome Offer users will get Unlimited 5G Data with up to 1 Gbps+ speed at no additional cost.
