5G is expected to transform sectors like education, IoT, healthcare, gaming, agriculture, and more. As for Jio’s True 5G, it is based on the Stand-alone 5G architecture as announced during this year’s Jio AGM. This will ensure faster speeds and low latency. Jio’s 5G is an amalgamation of 700 MHz, 3500 MHz, and 26 GHz bands, with it being the only telco to come with support for the 700 MHz band.
