Jio's 5G Testing to Start in India as Soon as Spectrum Is Available


HIGHLIGHTS:
  • Jio claims that it has created a 5G network solution for India.
  • Jio will use all Made-in-India tools for 5G networks in India.
  • Jio says that it will be ready to test the 5G Jio services in India by next year.
Jio on Wednesday said that it has created a 5G solution for India that will use all Made-In-India tools and technologies and that the company will go ahead with its 5G services as soon as spectrum for it is available from the government.

"Jio has created a complete 5G solution from scratch, that will enable us to launch a world-class 5G service in India, using 100 percent homegrown technologies and solutions," said Mukesh Ambani. This is a key development as far as 5G in India is concerned. India, just like it was late to 4G, is late to 5G networks given that some countries already have operation 5G services available to consumers whereas many others are already doing field trials for the next-generation network. However, with its today's announcement, Jio hopes to change the situation by next year. The company said that it will roll out the Jio 5G plans in India for trials as soon as the government goes ahead with releasing the spectrum for the next-gen networks. Jio says that it will be ready to test the 5G Jio services as soon as a spectrum for it is released by the government, and will be in a position to do field trials by the next year. Jio also noted that its 4G network has been developed and deployed in a way that makes the transition from 4G to 5G seamless and quick. The company says that once the 5G is ready for deployment in India, it will roll-out the Jio network at an accelerated pace.

During the Reliance AGM 2020 Livestream, Mukesh Ambani revealed that Jio 5G was developed by engineers in India and is dedicated to PM Narendra Modi's “Atmanirbhar Bharat” vision. Ambani shared a roadmap for Jio 5G, stating that it will first test the service in India as soon as the 5G spectrum is available and ready for field deployment. The company also plans on exporting Jio 5G solution to other telecom operators globally as a completely managed service. The chairman of Reliance Industries also shared that upgrading Jio's 4G network to 5G would be easy, thanks to its converged all IP network architecture.


"Using these technologies, we can create compelling solutions across multiple industry verticals like media, financial services, new commerce, education, healthcare, agriculture, smart cities, smart manufacturing & smart mobility," Ambani said. As a part of the AGM, RIL also introduced some new technologies including Jio Glass that provide mixed reality services and Jio TV+ that aggregates content from more than 12 streaming services.
Additionally, Reliance Industries also revealed an Rs. 33,737 crores investment from Google in Jio Platforms.

Google Camera 7.5 changes the file naming scheme and stops saving portrait photos in separate folders

Google Camera 7.5, the latest version of the camera app for Google Pixel smartphones, had earlier been spotted throwing around hints for the Pixel 4a 5G  and Pixel 5, alongside hints for features such as audio zoom, expanded social share, and more camera modes. The same version of the app also brings around some more changes, notably a change in the file naming scheme for photos and finally stopping the behavior for saving portrait photos in a separate folder. In Google Camera 7.5, portrait photos will no longer be saved into their own folders, which is a move that is likely to be appreciated by everyone. On older versions, any portrait pics that you clicked would be saved inside individual folders within the DCIM/Camera directory, which was frankly a terrible implementation. Using most gallery solutions would mean that you had to venture into each individual folder to check out the images, plus your photos would not show up chronologically, and deleting the pictures would still le...
