Jio 5G Welcome Offer: Everything You Need To Know

Jio’s special Welcome Offer, which is available to both prepaid and postpaid users, will be valid until 31st March 2020. The operator has also introduced a new offer wherein customers can avail more data. New Jio users will now get 100GB of data per month instead of the earlier 50GB. Postpaid users subscribing to plans starting from Rs 499 will now get 600GB of data instead of the earlier 500GB. On the other hand, the operator’s Rs 99 JioPhone is currently unavailable under the special Welcome Offer. However, Jio has confirmed that the JioPhone will be available for purchase at special prices for those who avail the Welcome Offer. In the past, Jio had announced that the operator will be launching special tariff vouchers for the JioPhone. This will allow users to make both voice and data calls at extremely low rates.

Why is Jio launching a 5G network?

Jio has been steadily growing its 4G network over the past few years. In fact, the operator has the largest 4G network in the country with almost 100% coverage. So why is Jio switching to 5G instead of expanding its 4G network? The 5G network promises higher capacities and an ability to handle more data. This will be useful for Jio to manage massive data and traffic on its network. It is also worth noting that the 4G network is close to its capacity limits in many areas. In fact, recent studies show that the 4G network is slowing down in many parts of the country. With this in mind, Jio has decided to go ahead with the 5G rollout. However, as Jio is the only operator to launch 5G services in India, the network is expected to get crowded as soon as it goes live.

How will the 5G network benefit you?

The benefits of the 5G network are many. For starters, the network promises to deliver 10 times higher data capacity than the existing 4G network. This will allow operators like Jio to deliver higher speeds while managing massive data. Apart from that, the 5G network will deliver lower latency than the current 4G networks. This means that when you send or receive data, it will happen almost instantly. The 5G network will also allow you to experience a new world of IoT devices that are connected to the internet. This will allow devices such as smart appliances, security systems and many more to become smarter and work with just the touch of a button.

Is Jio’s new device worth it?

This is a tricky question. While the 5G network certainly brings some good things to the table, it is still very new and experimental. So it might take some time for the network to become stable. Jio’s new device is also expected to come with a high price tag when it goes on sale. So it is unlikely that it will be worth it. On the other hand, it is possible that the device might come with cheap 5G data. In fact, Jio might offer cheaper data rates than its 4G network. This would mean that your device would be more than worth it even if the device itself is a little expensive.

Is the JioPhone also coming out as a 5G device?

This is something that only time would tell. Jio’s JioPhone is currently available for purchase under the operator’s special Welcome Offer. Thus, it is unlikely that Jio would launch a new device for the special rates. However, it is worth noting that there is no word from Jio’s side about it yet. If Jio does launch a 5G JioPhone, it would be an excellent device for the users who are not very tech-savvy. The JioPhone is a simple device that does not offer much functionality. This allows the device to work on the 2G, 3G and 4G networks. So even if the operator launches a 5G-only JioPhone, it will work just as perfectly.

Jio 5G: Everything You Need To Know

It seems like Reliance Jio is ready to take the 5G revolution in India head-on. With the highest number of 5G stations in the country, Jio’s 5G launch is likely to make the other operators sweat. However, it is worth noting that Jio’s 5G launch is expected to be very different from the other operator’s 5G launch. Jio’s 5G network is likely to be an LTE-based network. This means that the network will work on the same frequency that 4G runs on. On the other hand, the other operators are planning to launch 5G networks based on the next-generation standard called 5G NR (New Radio). Jio’s 5G network is also expected to be a closed network. This means that the network will only be used by Jio’s employees and partners. Whereas, the other operators’ 5G networks will be open for everyone.

Conclusion

Reliance Jio has managed to make 5G more accessible to its users with its latest launch. The operator is expected to provide users with high-speed internet along with low latency and high capacity. However, it is worth noting that Jio’s 5G network might be an LTE-based network. This would mean that the network will not provide the high-end features that a 5G-based network does. But it would still be faster and better than the current 4G network. With its latest launch, Jio is making sure that its users get the best services. However, it is important to keep in mind that the network is likely to go live only in the latter half of the year. So if you are feeling impatient, you might have to wait for a while before getting your hands on Jio’s new services.
