To enable 5G-for-all, Reliance Jio has introduced JioTrue5G-powered Wi-Fi services in high-footfall areas such as educational institutes, religious places, railway stations, bus stands, commercial hubs and more. This is in addition to the JioTrue5G service and the Jio Welcome Offer, launched recently in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Varanasi. Jio teams are working round the clock to make additional cities go live and increase the availability of True5G-ready handsets.

As a Shubh-Aarambh, along with JioTrue5G services, Jio has started JioTrue5G-powered Wi-Fi services in the temple town of Nathdwara, in Rajasthan.

Akash M Ambani, chairman, Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, said, “Service to humanity is one of the most endearing facets of Indian culture, the roots of which can be found in our socio-religious traditions. As stated earlier, 5G cannot remain an exclusive service to the privileged few or those in our largest cities. It must be available to every citizen, every home, and every business across India. This is a step in that direction to enable every Indian with JioTrue5G.”

“Today, we have powered the first True5G-enabled Wi-Fi service at the holy town of Nathdwara and the temple of Lord Srinath Ji. With this, we will power many more such locations and allow them to trial our services. In addition, we welcome Chennai as our latest city to be added to Jio True5G Welcome Offer.”
