What is Jio 5G? How is it better than 4G LTE?

According to Jio’s announcement, both the telecom service provider and their equipment vendor, have completed lab trials of 5G network components. 

We have been using 4G/LTE for quite some time now, here in India. The network offers a significant boost in the internet upload and download speed over 3G. While most of us are happy with the internet speed as we are able to play 1080p videos on YouTube, that is not the only advantage that 5G brings to the table. With the introduction of 5G, we will not only get higher speeds but also a more stable network overall.

With 4G LTE, Reliance Jio brought VoLTE or Voice-over-LTE to India. This basically means all phone calls are made over the 4G network instead of the phone needing to switch to the 2G network every time a call is made or received. With this, the customers not only get a crystal clear phone call experience but also get to use the high-speed internet even during an ongoing phone call. 

What is Jio 5G?

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) during its 43rd Annual General Meet (AGM) made the announcement of the Jio 5G network. The upgrade from 4G to 5G is not as simple as it sounds. While users will just need to upgrade to a new smartphone, there is a lot of work required at the telecom operator’s end. 

The telecom operator needs to purchase the new spectrum that will be used via the government’s spectrum audition. Additionally, the company needs to set up the equipment around the country through which the network signals will be deployed.
