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.

Apple iPhone 12 series to launch in October!!!

As Apple confirmed that its upcoming iPhone 12 series would not launch in September, the iPhone maker is now said to hold the launch event in October.

The tech giant has not specified further details about the delay in the launch. However, Apple's announcement came soon after global chip making giant Qualcomm indicated at a brief delay in the launch of the iPhone 12 line up that could comprise four new models. Akash Palkhiwala, Qualcomm CFO had suggested the delay and said: “a slight delay that pushes some of the units out from the September quarter to the December quarter for us.” iPhone 12 range will be announced on the week commencing October 12 (which might mean an announcement on Tuesday, October 13, since Apple often unveils thin...

Neuralink: Elon Musk unveils pig with chip in its brain

  Elon Musk has unveiled a pig called Gertrude with a coin-sized computer chip in her brain to demonstrate his ambitious plans to create a working brain-to-machine interface. "It's kind of like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires," the billionaire entrepreneur said on a webcast. His start-up Neuralink applied to launch human trials last year. The interface could allow people with neurological conditions to control phones or computers with their minds. Mr.Musk argues such chips could eventually be used to help cure conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries. But the long-term ambition is to usher in an age of what Mr.Musk calls "superhuman cognition", in part to combat artificial intelligence so powerful he says it could destroy the human race. Elon Musk reveals brain-hacking plans Gertrude was one of three pigs in pens that took part in Friday's webcast demo. She took a while to get going, but when she ate and sniffed ...

Safari to support password-less logins

Safari 14, the version of Apple’s browser that will ship with iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur, will let you use Face ID or Touch ID to log in to websites built to support the feature. The functionality was confirmed in the browser’s beta release notes, and Apple has detailed how the feature works in a WWDC video for developers. The functionality is built on the Web Authn component of the FIDO2 standard, developed by the FIDO Alliance. It should make logging into a website as easy as logging into an app secured with Touch ID or Face ID.WebAuthn is an API that aims to make web logins simpler and more secure. Unlike passwords, which are often easily guessed and vulnerable to phishing attacks, WebAuthn uses public key cryptography and can use security methods like biometrics or hardware security keys to verify your identity. It’s a standard that individual websites need to add support for, but being supported by the stock browser in iOS has the potential to be a major boost for adoption.This isn’...
