环球信息:印度Jio拟斥资251亿美元部署全国性5G网络

C114讯 北京时间8月31日下午消息（蒋均牧）信实Jio（Reliance Jio）拨出了令人瞠目的2万亿印度卢比（C114注：约合251亿美元），用于在2023年12月之前在印度铺设一张全国性的独立组网（SA）5G网络，最初计划在不到两个月的时间内在四个城市推出。

在母公司信实工业（Reliance Industries）的年度大会上，董事长穆克什·安巴尼（Mukesh Ambani）表示，在覆盖约1000个城市后，Jio将在不到18个月内的时间向全印每个城镇提供5G。

在10月下旬的排灯节前，德里、孟买、加尔各答和钦奈将开始提供服务。

安巴尼补充说，该公司已经自主开发了一个端到端的5G堆栈，它完全是云原生和软件设计的。

他说，该公司正与谷歌合作，为印度开发价格实惠的5G智能手机，并指出它还将利用谷歌云的功能，向国内和全球用户提供Jio的专用5G和其他5G服务。

在8月初的一次拍卖中，Jio花费了大约110亿美元购买900MHz、3500MHz和26GHz频段的频谱。

拍卖结束后，巴蒂电信（Bharti Airtel）选择爱立信、诺基亚和三星为其5G设备供应商，本月开始部署。

Jio to splash $25B on India 5G push

Reliance Jio earmarked an eye-watering INR2 trillion ($25.1 billion) to roll out a nationwide standalone (SA) 5G network in India by December 2023, with the initial launch planned in four cities in less than two months.

Speaking at parent company Reliance Industries’ AGM, chairman Mukesh Ambani stated in less than 18 months Jio will deliver 5G to every town in the country, after covering some 1,000 cities.

It will start with service in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai by the Diwali festival in late-October.

Ambani added the company has indigenously developed an end-to-end 5G stack which is fully cloud native and software designed.

The company is working with Google to develop affordable 5G smartphones for India, he said, noting it will also use the capabilities of Google Cloud to offer Jio’s private 5G and other 5G-enabled services to domestic and global users.

In an early August auction, Jio spent about $11 billion on spectrum in the 900MHz, 3500MHZ and 26GHz bands.

Following the auction, rival Bharti Airtel selected Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung as its 5G equipment suppliers, with the operator planning to start the rollout this month.
