Reliance Jio has completed 5G network coverage planning for top 1,000 cities in the country. The operator is augmenting its fibre capacity as well as running pilot across sites. To this end, the company has reportedly created teams to focus on dedicated solutions for 5G deployment in India.

In addition, the operator has been conducting trials on advanced use cases across sectors such as healthcare and industrial automation on its 5G network. Further, the company is running 5G pilot in multiple cities and network planning for the roll out of 5G using 3D maps and ray tracing technology.

In an attempt to tap in first mover advantage, the company claims to be using modern approaches towards network planning, especially 3D maps and ray tracing technology because 5G, being a new technology, requires very advanced network planning techniques.
