Guwahati: Jio True 5G services were officially inaugurated in Guwahati by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarm on Tuesday.
Jio also launched its True 5G Powered Wi-Fi services in the Kamakhya Temple complex today.
Through the Jio Community Clinic medical kit and the ground-breaking AR-VR Jio Glass technology, Jio showcased the advantages of True 5G for the healthcare industry during the launching event. Through the development of Smart Healthcare Solutions like Tele Radiology, Connected Ambulance, and Clinic in a Bag, 5G can provide high-quality healthcare to rural and distant places.
Speaking at the event, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said, “I am happy to launch Jio’s True 5G services in Guwahati. I believe True 5G has the power to democratize the health infrastructure across the varied geography of Assam. The health solution demonstrated today, ‘Clinic in the bag’ can aid grass root health workers and Asha workers. It has a simple design and can wirelessly connect to a suite of medical devices over 5G. Healthcare workers with the help of specialist Doctors can diagnose and treat patients in even the most remote locations of Assam.”
The chief minister further said, “My government is fully committed to aiding the speedy roll-out of 5G services in Assam. By implementing 5G based health solutions we can fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji’s vision of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission by building a Digital Health Ecosystem in the State of Assam,” he further said.
“Apart from their existing investment of Rs 9500 crores, Jio has additionally invested over Rs 2500 crores for work in progress to deploy the 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,” the CM said.
Commenting at the occasion, Jio Spokesperson said, “With the blessings of Maa Kamakhya, we have just demonstrated how Jio True 5G technology will benefit the people of Assam and NorthEast, by supporting medical practitioners to perform advanced medical procedures with reliable wireless network connected to any side of the globe.”
“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 digitizing Assam,” he further said.
Aside from healthcare, Jio True 5G will have a big impact on a number of other industries, such as:
a) Agriculture: Which will see an increase in productivity due to the reduction of overspraying of toxic chemicals, fertilisers and pesticides.
b) Education: The usage of interactive 3D models with augmented reality will assist Teachers in making studying more enjoyable and effective for the students. Digital learning will not only reach the most remote areas of the State and overcome the absence of physical infrastructure.
c) Smart Office: With simple and wireless plug-and-play technologies like JioAirFiber, Cloud PC, video telephony surveillance, and digital signage, offices are expected to become smarter.
d) Possibilities of Enhanced Mobile Broadband: broadband-like speed delivered wirelessly on a mobile phone over Jio True 5G network can enrich the lives of every citizen in the State and empower them to do a lot more.
Beginning January 10, Jio customers in Guwahati will be welcomed to take advantage of the Jio Welcome Offer which entitles them access Unlimited Data at speeds of up to 1 Gbps+ without paying any additional fees.
