Mukesh Ambani-backed Reliance Jio launched its 5G services in Kerala’s Kochi and Guruvayur Temple premises. The service was digitally inaugurated by Kerala's Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan.
Jio users in Kochi and Guruvayur will be invited to the Jio Welcome Offer, to experience unlimited data at up to 1 Gbps+ speeds, at no additional cost, the company said in a press release.
CM Vijayan stated that the long-term benefits of 5G services for people of Kerala would be game-changing.
Jio demonstrated the immersive benefits of 5G in the field of healthcare, through Jio Community Clinic medical kit, and the revolutionary AR-VR device, Jio Glass. These benefits will bring transformational changes in the lives of people in Kerala, the company said.
“Jio has invested over Rs 6,000 crore for deploying the 5G network in Kerala and this shows their commitment towards our State. They will be launching 5G services in Trivandrum by end of this month followed by Thrissur, Kozhikode, and Malappuram by January 2023. By December 2023 every tehsil and taluk of Kerala will have Jio’s 5G services,” said Vijayan.
"With the launch of Jio’s True 5G services, Kerala is not just getting the best telecommunication network, but will open doors to growth opportunities in the areas of e-governance, education, healthcare, IT and SME business here. 5G will also enable citizens and government to remain connected on real time basis and will also improve implementation and efficiency of government schemes for the last mile user," Vijayan added.
“We are excited to commence Jio True 5G in Kochi & Guruvayur Temple in Kerala. Soon, Jio True 5G network will expand across the length and breadth of Kerala. Jio is the only 5G network to be present here," a Jio spokesperson said at the launch event.
