Reliance Jio is partnering up with Qualcomm to bring 5G solutions to India. The Mukesh Ambani owned brand will work with the American chipmaker to accelerate the arrival of 5G in the region.
According to a Bloomberg report, the Indian telecom giant and its owned Radisys Crop will partner with Qualcomm to “fast track the development and roll-out of indigenous 5G network infrastructure and services in India.” The announcement arrived earlier this week, in the form of a joint statement. At the moment, India has yet to auction its 5G bandwidths.

Notably, Ambani has been preparing for the next generation of telecom networking through its in-house technology. Meaning, it would take the company lesser time to adopt the newer system, unlike its competitors as per the billionaire himself. This also means that Jio is safe from political disputes, especially in regard to Chinese equipment providers like Huawei and ZTE.
For those unaware, China’s Huawei and ZTE are set to be shut out of India’s 5G trials. Furthermore, Ambani has also expressed interest in selling the new technology to other telecom operators if it is rolled out successfully. Among other carriers, Reliance Jio is quite new in the market, but in just a few hours years, has grown to become the 2nd largest telecom operator in the country by a number of users. Its initial investment had focused on 4G networking and is now shifting towards 5G as well.
