Reliance Jio is rapidly expanding its 5G services across India. Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Varanasi, Kolkata, Pune, Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad, Bengaluru, and Faridabad are among the 12 Indian cities where the telecom operator has already begun to offer fifth-generation network services. Jio has now launched its 5G services throughout the entire state of Gujarat.
Gujarat has been named the first Indian state to have 100% 5G coverage across all 33 district headquarters, according to Mukesh Ambani’s telecom service provider.
“Starting 25th November, Jio users in Gujarat will be invited to the Jio Welcome Offer, to experience Unlimited Data at up to 1gbps speeds, at no additional cost”, cites the official statement by Jio.
The fast network services, dubbed Jio True 5G, will also assist Jio in launching Jio 5G-powered initiatives in industries such as education, healthcare, agriculture, and IOT in Gujarat and other states. In collaboration with the Reliance Foundation, Jio also announced a True 5G-powered initiative titled ‘Education-For-All’ in the state. The telecom giant intends to begin by digitising 100 schools in Gujarat and offering services such as-

Meanwhile, Jio customers in Gujarat and other Jio 5G-enabled cities can connect to the latest network and enjoy free 5G services. If users have 5G enabled smartphones, Jio is offering unlimited 5G data at speeds of up to 1gbps as part of the Jio Welcome 5G offer. During the 5G launch, Jio also assured its customers that the new 5G services would automatically connect to their 4G SIMs. Customers will not need to purchase a new SIM card to gain 5G connectivity.
However, not all Jio users will be able to take advantage of the welcome offer. Jio is launching the 5G welcome offer on an invite basis.
