Reliance Jio launches 5G services in Rajasthan

Reliance Jio Infocomm on Saturday launched 5G services in Rajasthan from the famous Shrinathji temple in Nathdwara town of Rajsamand.

Company chairman Akash Ambani dedicated the services to Srinathji -- the deity of the Ambani family.

"With blessings of Shrinathji, with Jio True 5G service, 5G power WiFi services are beginning in Nathdwara today. 5G is for everyone. So, it's our effort that 5G services begin in every corner of India & Jio Tru 5G service begin at the earliest," ANI quoted Akash Ambani as saying.


"We welcome the launch of 5G services. It's 5G for Sriji," said Vishal Baba, mahant of the Nathdwara temple.

"To enable 5G-for-all, Reliance Jio Infocomm (Jio) today announced that it is introducing JioTrue5G-powered Wi-Fi services in high footfall areas such as Educational Institutes, Religious places, Railway Stations, Bus stands, Commercial Hubs and more. This is in addition to the JioTrue5G service, and the Jio Welcome Offer launched recently in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Varanasi. Jio teams are working round the clock to make additional cities go live and increase the availability of True5G-ready handsets," Dhanraj Nathwani, Group President at Reliance Industries said.


"While Jio users will get this service without any charge during the Jio Welcome Offer period, non-Jio customers will also be able to try this service before they move to Jio to get the full and unlimited service experience," Dhanraj Nathwani said.

Chairman of Reliance Industries Limited Mukesh Ambani had visited the temple last month and promised to launch the services in the state from the temple.

In 2015 too, Mukesh Ambani had paid a visit to Shrinathji temple before the launch of 4G services.
