Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched Jio True 5G services in Assam on Tuesday at an event in the city. Along with its True 50 services, Jio launched True 5G-powered Wi-Fi services at the Maa Kamakhya Temple complex in Guwahati on Tuesday, according to a statement from the telecom firm.
The Chief Minister stated that, in addition to Jio’s existing investment of Rs 9,500 crore, the company is investing over Rs 2,500 crore to deploy a True 5G network in Assam. The chief minister was shown the transformational benefits of True 5G. According to the statement. Health care was chosen as one of the sectors to demonstrate the benefits of True SG.
Aside from the launch, Jio showcased new solutions such as the Jio Community Clinic medical kit, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)-based healthcare with JioGlass, and Smart Healthcare Solutions such as tele radiology and connected ambulance.
Himanta Biswa Sarma, Chief Minister of Assam, stated, “I am happy to launch Jio’s True 5G service in Guwahati. I believe True 5G has the power to democratise the health care infrastructure across the varied geography of Assam… It has a simple design and can wirelessly connect to a suite of medical devices over SG. Healthcare workers with the help of specialist doctors can diagnose and treat patients in even the most remote locations of Assam.”
CM Sarma added, “My government is fully committed to aiding the speedy roll-out of 5G services in Assam. By implementing 5G-based health care solutions, we can fulfil our Honourable Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi Ji’s vision of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission by building a Digital Health Ecosystem in the State of Assam.”
In addition to their current investment of Rs 9,500 crore, the chief minister stated, “Jio is additionally investing over Rs 2,500 crore to deploy True 5G network in Assam and this shows their immense commitment towards our state’s development. By December 2023, Jio True 5G services will be made available in every town and taluka of Assam.”
According to the statement, Jio engineers were working around the clock to deliver True-5G benefits to every Indian so that every citizen could experience the transformational power and exponential benefits of this technology.
“With our 5G launch we will offer free True 5G powered Wi-Fi inside the temple premises, to all the devotees visiting Kamakhya temple. Jio engineers are working round the clock to deliver True-5G benefits to every Indian so that the transformational power and the exponential benefits of this technology can be experienced by every citizen of our great country. We are grateful to the Assam Government for extending their support in digitising Assam,” he further said.
Other than Healthcare, Jio True 5G will greatly benefit in some other sectors including:
a) Agriculture: It can be a significant boost with IoT and Drone based precision farming solutions and reduce over-spraying of harmful chemicals, fertilisers and pesticides to improve farm productivity.
b) Education: Not only will digital learning reach the most remote corners of the state and address a lack of physical infrastructure, but the use of interactive 3D models with augmented reality will also assist teachers in making learning more fun and effective for students.
c) Smart Office: offices will become smarter with simple and wireless plug-and-play solutions like JioAirFiber, Cloud PC, Video telephony surveillance, and digital signage.
d) Enhanced Mobile Broadband Possibilities: Broadband-like speed delivered wirelessly on a mobile phone via the Jio True 5G network can enrich the lives of every citizen in the State and empower them to do much more.
Beginning from January 10, Jio said its users in Guwahati and seven additional cities across four states of Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana, and Maharashtra will be invited to the Jio Welcome Offer, which will provide them with unlimited data at speeds exceeding 1 Gbps at no extra cost.
