Reliance Jio has enabled edge computing on its cloud-native 5G network at more than 50 facilities across India. The company has credited this achievement to Jio’s cloud-native 5G core, which enables the rapid rollout of new 5G use case slices such as industrial 5G, healthcare, education, virtual reality (VR) metaverse gaming, among others.
Besides, the telco has completed 5G planning for the top 1,000 cities across India, and dedicated teams have been formed to focus on “dedicated solutions for 5G deployment” in the country. Earlier, Jio had piloted the integration of energy utilities through sensors with its homegrown 5G SA network, in addition to trialling connected robotics, voice and messaging over 5G NR or VoNR, an artificial intelligence (AI) multimedia chat-bot, and immersive high-definition virtual reality (HD VR) meeting.
Meanwhile, Jio has affirmed to have developed a complete homegrown 5G stack that is cloud-native and digitally managed and has plans to offer it abroad once it is tested in India.
