Jio rolls out 5G in Bengaluru and Hyderabad

Reliance Jio has announced that it will expand its 5G network and roll out the service in Bengaluru and Hyderabad in a phased manner. Earlier this year, the telecom giant had begun a beta trial in six cities – Delhi, Varanasi, Kolkata, Chennai, Nathdwara and Mumbai. In August this year, Jio spent more than Rs 88,000 crore and acquired spectrum in 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 3300 MHz and 26GHz bands.

Moreover, Reliance Jio is the only telecom operator that will use standalone 5G architecture, which offers more speed and less latency compared to non-standalone networks. The company also said it will support 5G Carrier Aggregation.
