All eyes on Jio’s connected car tech as it gears to offer a glimpse of future

Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd will on Wednesday unveil its connected car technologies at the auto expo, becoming the country’s first telecom company to enter an arena so far reserved only for global automakers.

The move will allow India’s largest telecom operator by users to project itself as an Internet of Things (IoT) solutions provider rather than being just the telecom company it was when it started operations in September 2016.

“Jio will exhibit car connect vehicle tracking system for transport service providers, logistics companies. With this expo, Jio will demonstrate the role of connectivity, network and technology for connected vehicles of the future,” said a person aware of the development, requesting anonymity.
