Telecom major Reliance Jio has rolled out its 4G and 5G services at the Siachen glacier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a post on social media platform Facebook, the telecom operator said that it has installed a 5G base station at Siachen, which will enable 5G connectivity in the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to start the year with a historic milestone. In partnership with the Indian Army\u2019s Fire and Fury Corps, Jio has installed a 5G base station at Siachen, the world’s highest battleground\u2026,\u201d Reliance Jio said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement sent to news agency PTI, a company spokesperson said that Reliance Jio has become the first telecom operator in the country to deliver connectivity in the \u201charsh region\u201d. The company also said that the services were rolled out by deploying a plug-and-play pre-configured equipment at a forward post.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis achievement was made possible in coordination with Army Signallers from planning to multiple training sessions, system pre-configuration and comprehensive testing. The Indian Army was pivotal in managing logistics, including airlifting Jio’s equipment to Siachen glacier,\u201d the spokesperson said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The move will enable high-speed internet connectivity for Indian soldiers posted at 16,000 feet in the Karakoram range. The area, which is colloquially referred to as the world\u2019s highest battleground, is characterised by extreme weather conditions, with temperatures plummeting to as much as -50 degrees Celsius.<\/span><\/p>\n

This comes days after Reliance Jio announced the launch of its new \u201c5.5G\u201d network<\/a>, which will offer download speeds of up to 10 Gbps and upload speeds of up to 1 Gbps. The new network boasts lower latency, faster downloads and stable performance in crowded environments by leveraging the component carrier aggregation (3CC) technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jio Platforms, which houses the telecom operator, has scaled up its digital play in the past year by launching a clutch of new offerings, including AI cloud services, 4G feature phones and Bluetooth tracker JioTag Go.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the financial front, Jio Platforms\u2019 consolidated net profit rose 23.4% year-on-year (YoY) to INR 6,539 Cr<\/a> in the second quarter (Q2) of the financial year 2024-25 (FY25). Operating revenue jumped 18% YoY to INR 31,709 Cr during the quarter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
