JIO NEW YEAR DHAMAKA
-Rahul Sharma
It's been an exciting year for Reliance Jio. From the launch of its broadband service Gigafiber to achieving 250 million plus subscribers mark. Jio continues to be an outlier in the financially stressed telecom market in India. It seems unstoppable, the company has already planned some big things for the next year, including its expansion of fibre service & the launch of GigaTv. In this report, we take a look at what the telecoms 2019 will be like. What to be expected from Jio in 2019? Jio Giga Fiber expansion
It has been more than 5 Months since Jio officially announced its GigaFiber broadband service at Jio annual general meeting (AGM) with much fanfare, but the service is yet to see broader roll-out. The service is currently in a soft launch phase with the company gauging user interest based on locations through registrations. however, the company is quietly expanding their user base with the new customer being subscribed to the preview offer in the various region that have existing GigaFiber infrastructure. It is believed that Reliance Jio will finally open the floodgates in March 2019 with the full launch. The company will reportedly announce the service plans at the same time. To remind you, GigaFiber is the company's broadband service with up to 1Gbps speed and the company aim is to connect up to 50 million Houses in Eleven hundred cities with GigaFiber over the coming years. Jio Phone 3 launch
After the huge success of the original Jio Phone and Jio Phone 2, the telecom giant will doubtlessly launch the 3rd-iteration of the Handset in 2019. The specifics of the Jio Phone 3 is a mystery right now, but we are surely going to see a number of improvements over the currently available models. As per an estimate by Credit Suisse, Jio might have sold as many as 40 million original JioPhone units by the end of April 2018. According to Counterpoint's Market Monitor report, Jio accounted for 11 per cent of the total worldwide feature phone shipments in the 3rd quarter of 2018 Jio Affordable large-screen smartphones
The mobiles from Reliance Lyf, a subservient of Reliance Retail, were among the 1st budget smartphones which come with complete support for Jio's 4G networks. Now as Lyf has kind of dissolved in the background with no new launches over the last several quarters, Jio is reportedly working with a new set of partners to launch a cost-effective large-screen smartphone for the mass population. as stated by a recent report, the company is hoping to convert their feature phone consumers into smartphone users with these budget devices. It is as well in talks with USA-based contract manufacturer Flex for smartphone production in India. currently, Jio only offers 2 (4G) feature phones under its own brand. We are hoping to see these mass market 4G phones hit Jio stores in the upcoming year. 5G
5G is still years away from being a widely available service in India, Reliance Jio is fluently working to bring the next-generation network to its costumers. As per the online reports, Jio plans to launch 5G services as soon as 6 months after spectrum auction, which is likely to happen in the mid of 2019. An anonymous Jio official claimed that the company already has 5G-ready LTE networks and it is aggressively deploying optical fibre lines to enhance the backbone of this network. While we are unlikely to see an actual 5G launch from Jio in 2019, Jio is possibly going to start the network trials as soon the spectrum is allocated. The company is even performing localised live 5G trials. The government believes the transition from 4G to 5G will be much quicker compared to the transition from 3G to 4G. Jio VoWi-Fi service
