Jio Working With Ericsson on 5G Network in India

Ericsson signed a long-term 5G contract with Indian communications service provider Reliance Jio to launch a 5G stand-alone network there. “Jio transformed the digital landscape in India with the launch of LTE services in 2016,” said Jio Chairman Akash Ambani: “We are confident that Jio’s 5G network will accelerate India’s digitalization and will serve as the foundation for achieving our nation’s ‘Digital India’ vision.” Jio was the top spender in India's recent 5G spectrum auction.
