Recently, Reliance has developed a network slicing platform for 5G that will enable Network Slicing-as-a-Service (NSaaS). Jio Senior Vice President, Aayush Bhatnagar said, “This platform pre-integrated with Jio’s home grown Cloud Native OSS and BSS (TM Forum Certified), to deliver an end to end service experience starting right from a customer-facing marketplace of 5G app.”

Jio is expanding its Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) capabilities by extending its Standalone 5G network in more than 50 facilities across India. The 5G usage across the private industry and enterprise is increased and the NSaaS capability along with cloud native automation will make 5G delivery possible at a scale.

Jio has been carrying out many trials of innovative use cases such as pilot of connected robotics, an AI multimedia chatbot, voice and messaging over 5G NR or VoNR, and high definition virtual reality meeting (HD VR) which earlier it has conducted over its own homegrown 5G stack. Jio has also claimed that it has developed its own 5G stack which it plans to offer abroad, once its competence is tested on pan -India scale.

Jio has even completed 5G coverage planning for top 1,000 cities based on targeted customer consumption, 3D maps, ray tracing technology for precise coverage, heat maps, revenue potential and high perception locations. The finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman said, “The 5G spectrum sale will be held this year to facilitate the rollout of 5th generation by the private telecom operators by 2023.”
