Jio Space Fiber First Satellite-based Gigabit Broadband Service | Super Fast Internet | Anywhere and Anytime

Reliance Jio launches JioSpace Fiber to provide internet services in rural areas in India

Reliance Jio introduces satellite-based internet service, JioSpaceFiber, promising high-speed broadband for previously inaccessible areas in India.

At the Indian Mobile Congress 2023, Jio has unveiled its new service, Jio Space Fiber. This technology aims to connect remote areas of the country using satellite-based gigabit fiber technology, providing easy internet access to even the most distant locations. Jio plans to make this new service available across the country at affordable prices. Let’s take a closer look at what Jio Space Fiber technology is and how beneficial it can be.

Jio’s Third Major Technology in the Portfolio

Jio has already been offering Jio Fiber broadband and Jio Air Fiber services, both of which enhance internet connectivity. At the Indian Mobile Congress 2023, Jio launched its Jio Air Fiber service, connecting four remote locations across the country using this technology. These locations include Gir National Park in Gujarat, Korba in Chhattisgarh, Nabarangpur in Odisha, and ONGC Jorhat in Assam. Following Jio Fiber and Jio Air Fiber, Jio Space Fiber is now being introduced as the third major technology in Jio’s portfolio.

What Is Jio Space Fiber?

Jio Space Fiber will use SIS company’s satellites to deliver broadband connectivity, providing multi-gigabit connectivity anywhere and anytime. This is a satellite-based internet service that leverages innovative and advanced NGSO (Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit) technology to extend connectivity to remote areas. At the Indian Mobile Congress, Akash Ambani demonstrated this service to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This service operates similarly to Starlink by Elon Musk, offering internet access via satellites. It will bring high-speed internet to areas where traditional broadband and air fiber are not readily available.

To showcase the reach of JioSpaceFiber, four of India's most remote locations have already been connected:

• Gir, Gujarat
• Korba, Chhattisgarh
• Nabarangpur, Odisha
• ONGC-Jorhat, Assam

This achievement highlights the service's ability to bridge the digital divide in underserved regions and deliver high-speed broadband where it is needed most.

Pricing for Jio Space Fiber

Aakash Ambani, President of Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, stated that Jio has provided broadband internet access to millions of homes and businesses for the first time in the country. Jio Space Fiber aims to do the same. It will connect every aspect of life, from online government services, education, healthcare, to entertainment, with Jio Space Fiber. However, specific information regarding when this service will be available to the general public and its pricing has not been disclosed. It has only been mentioned that Jio will make internet connectivity available to users at affordable prices.

Reliance Jio already offers high-speed fixed-line broadband and wireless services to more than 450 million customers in India. Now, the company has added the JioSpaceFiber services to its lineup of broadband services, including JioFiber and JioAirFiber. JioSpaceFiber will provide access to reliable, low latency, and high-speed internet regardless of the location. Furthermore, the service will support additional capacity for mobile backhaul.

Reliance Jio showcased JioSpaceFiber by providing high-speed internet to four remote locations in India, including Gir in Gujarat, Korba in Chhattisgarh, Nabrangpur in Odisha, and ONGC-Jorhat in Assam.
