Reliance Jio best poised to launch 5G services: Transsion

NEW DELHI: Reliance Jio is in a better position to launch commercial services based on fifth-generation or 5G technology, following its network readiness, a top executive of the Chinese smartphone maker said.

“Currently, Jio is best poised as their network is 5G ready,” Arijeet Talapatra, chief executive of Transsion India told ETT, and added that affordability would remain an important factor.

Talapatra said that 5G would be a huge investment for industry players with the technology being at a nascent stage and such a move would be dependent upon their investors interest and brand strategy.
