Jio launches True 5G in Assam

Alongside its True 5G services that were launched in Guwahati, Jio also launched its True 5G-Powered Wi-Fi services at Maa Kamakhya Temple complex today.

Jio demonstrated the transformational benefits of True 5G to the Chief
Minister.

Jio said the True 5G service has the potential to save lives in difficult times with solutions such as Jio Community Clinic medical kit, AR-VR-based healthcare with JioGlass, Smart Healthcare Solutions like Tele Radiology, and Connected Ambulance.

“These healthcare solutions can enhance quality healthcare in urban India and assist in spreading quality healthcare infrastructure to the remotest areas of the country, thereby touching over a billion lives,” the company said.

These features were also demonstrated to the CM.

Speaking at the launch of the Jio True 5G in Assam, Dr Sarma, said, “I am happy to launch Jio’s True 5G service in Guwahati. I believe True 5G has the power to democratize the healthcare infrastructure across the varied geography of Assam.”

He hoped that the feature ‘Clinic in a bag' demonstrated to him would aid grassroots-level healthcare workers and Asha workers.

“It has a simple design and can wirelessly connect to a suite of medical devices over 5G. Healthcare workers with the help of specialist Doctors can diagnose and treat patients in even the most remote locations of Assam,” the CM said.

The Assam government is fully committed to aiding the speedy roll-out of 5G services in the northeastern state.

“Apart from their existing investment of Rs 9,500 crores, Jio is additionally investing over Rs 2,500 crores to deploy True 5G network in Assam and this shows their immense commitment towards our state’s development. By December 2023, Jio True 5G services will be made available in every town and taluka of Assam,” he noted.

Commenting on the occasion, Jio Spokesperson said, “With the blessings of Maa Kamakhya, Jio is launching True 5G services in Assam today. Jio will offer free True 5G-powered Wi-Fi inside the temple premises to all the devotees visiting Kamakhya temple.

Today, we demonstrated how Jio True 5G technology will benefit the people of Assam and the northeast in the field of advanced healthcare with its reliable wireless network.

“Starting 10th January, Jio users in Guwahati and 7 additional cities across 4 states of Karnataka (Hubli-Dharwad, Mangalore, Belgaum), Kerala (Chertala), Telangana (Warangal, Karimnagar) and Maharashtra (Solapur) will be invited to the Jio Welcome Offer, by which they can experience Unlimited Data at up to 1 Gbps+ speeds, at no additional cost,” the telecom company said.
