Jio has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by extending its 4G and 5G network to a harsh region.
Mukesh Ambani remains in the news for several reasons including his massive business empire. He is the richest man in India with a net worth of USD 94.2 billion, as per Forbes. He runs India's biggest telecom service provider, Reliance Jio. Now, the company has become the first telecom operator to deliver seamless connectivity at Siachen Glacier, the highest battlefield in the world. Reliance Jio, in collaboration with the Indian Army, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by extending its 4G and 5G network to the Siachen glacier, the company said.
Now, Indian soldiers posted at the location can enjoy high-speed internet services, the telecom company said. This comes days ahead of Army Day, which is celebrated on January 15 every year. "With support from the Army Signallers, Reliance Jio becomes the first telecom operator to deliver seamless connectivity in this harsh region," a spokesperson for the telecom company said. She said Reliance Jio successfully deployed plug-and-play pre-configured equipment at a forward post, leveraging its indigenous full-stack 5G technology.

"This achievement was made possible in coordination with Army Signallers from planning to multiple training sessions, system pre-configuration and comprehensive testing. The Indian Army was pivotal in managing logistics, including airlifting Jio's equipment to Siachen glacier. "This collaboration ensured connectivity at 16,000 feet in the Karakoram range, an area characterised by extreme conditions with temperatures plummeting to -50 degrees Celsius," the spokesperson added.
