RIDING THE FAST - DATA WAVE

AMIDST India’s telecom renaissance, the past 18 months stand as a testament to remarkable progress. With the official rollout of 5G services, providers witness burgeoning success, welcoming millions to the fast-paced world of 5G. Reliance Jio emerges as a titan, surpassing China Mobile in data traffic, handling an astounding 40.9 Exabytes in Q1 2024.

Tefficient, a global analytics firm, confirms Jio’s dominance, with 108 million 5G subscribers, cementing its global stature. Notably, over 28 per cent of Jio’s data traffic stems from 5G users, a testament to their transformative value plans and enticing offers, propelling unprecedented subscriber growth.

India’s voyage into the realm of 5G has simply been extraordinary. In just 18 months, the nation has emerged as a global frontrunner in 5G proliferation, with services spanning 738 districts. Indian telcos’ concerted efforts, deploying over 4.25 lakh Base Transceiver Stations (BTS), have propelled India into the top 15 markets globally for 5G media download speeds, as affirmed by Ookla.
