Reliance Jio is leading India’s digital transformation with its 4G technology. It is a no-brainer that Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance will try to capture a greater share of the market with their 5G roll out in the future.
Sunil Dutt is the current president of Reliance Jio’s devices and mobility. He said that there is a serious need to provide affordable phones because expensive smartphones are restricting people to move to 4G. As the 4G supported devices are not available at a cheaper rate, people are being forced to use 2G-supported devices that are lower priced. According to him, if people are given lower-priced smartphones that can support 4G or 5G in the coming time, then people can benefit massively.
Recent developments say that Reliance Jio is working closely with Realme to bring 4G handsets at a lower price to the market. Not only Realme, but Jio is working with other companies as well to bring affordable smartphones and other devices into the market which can be bought by people without spending too much money.
Realme CEO, Madhav Seth, also made a comment on this matter. He said “I think we are on a track to 5G not only in India but globally and I think MediaTek has quite an essential role to play. We’ve been hardware providers, I think our job is to make sure that basically, we are able to bring 5G devices to the maximum number of people at a price which suits their pocket without compromising on technology aspects of the devices.”
MediaTek India’s Managing Director, Anku Jain, also highlighted the importance of 5G technology. The official from the Chipsets manufacturer said that digital transformation has been boosted in India due to Covid-19. He believes that artificial intelligence, robotics, drones, and vehicle automation along with 5G will revolutionize the outlook of India and give better opportunities to everyone.
In a meeting last week, Mukesh Ambani again said that 5G will open the gates for innovation. It will help the countrymen to get better service and save time. He also emphasized that the government has a huge role to play in this as some regulatory changes are still required.
