Reliance Jio, led by Mukesh Ambani, has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first telecom operator in India to deliver seamless connectivity at Siachen Glacier, the highest battlefield in the world. The company successfully deployed plug-and-play pre-configured equipment at a forward post, leveraging its indigenous full-stack 5G technology. The installation was made possible through a collaboration with the Indian Army, who managed logistics and airlifted Jio’s equipment to the glacier. The extreme conditions at Siachen Glacier, with temperatures plummeting to -50 degrees Celsius, presented a significant challenge. Despite these conditions, Jio’s 5G technology was able to provide connectivity at 16,000 feet in the Karakoram range. The achievement was celebrated by the Fire & Fury Corps, who said it was dedicated to the brave soldiers deployed in challenging conditions. This milestone marks a significant achievement for Reliance Jio and demonstrates the company’s ability to provide connectivity in even the most extreme environments.
