NEW DELHI: Reliance Jio has deployed 50,000 base stations and 300,000 cells for its fifth-generation or 5G network across the country, according to telco’s chief technology officer (CTO) Shyam Mardikar, adding that Jio’s True 5G services are now available in 406 cities.

“We want to complete full urban coverage before May-end and by end of summer we will be in most of the cities. We will complete our full deployment as the calendar year ends, and that will be humongous,” said Mardikar.
