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.
For the first time, Reliance Jio surpasses Bharti Airtel to become India’s top telecom brand, with Mukesh Ambani once again gaining the upper hand over Sunil Mittal.
