Reliance Jio’s JioSpaceFiber is a milestone in India’s pursuit for high-speed internet. At the ‘India Mobile Congress 2023,’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced the service. JioSpaceFiber provides inexpensive, high-speed internet in previously unreachable locations to bridge the digital divide, according to the business.
Reliance Jio has partnered with Luxembourg-based satellite telecommunications network operator SES to realize this objective. This cooperation lets them use the cutting-edge Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite constellation, which can deliver gigabit-speed internet from orbit.
Reliance Jio Chairman Akash Ambani said, “With JioSpaceFiber, we expand our reach to cover the millions yet to be connected.” The main goal is to give everyone in India gigabit-speed access to online government services, education, healthcare, and entertainment.
JioSpaceFiber has connected four remote Indian locations: Gir, Gujarat; Korba, Chhattisgarh; Nabarangpur, Odisha; and ONGC-Jorhat, Assam. According to the corporation, this will transform these regions’ digital landscapes.
SES Chief Strategy Officer John-Paul Hemingway said, “Together with Jio, we are honored to support the government’s ‘Digital India’ initiative with a unique solution that aims to deliver multiple gigabits per second of throughput to any location in India.” Even in rural areas, fiber-like services from space will promote digital revolution.
