Reliance Industries’ Mukesh Ambani says Jio’s 5G network uses 80% indigenous technology
NEW DELHI: Reliance Industries’ Chairman Mukesh Ambani said Reliance Jio’s fifth-generation (5G) network comprises 80% indigenously developed stack, with European gear makers Ericsson and Nokia supplying the balance.
‘In 2021, we launched 5G. We built everything ourselves, end to end, the core, the hardware, the software, every single piece. We used Ericsson and Nokia to help us on 20%, just to make sure that the 80% that we put in was good,’ Ambani told New York-based consultancy firm McKinsey & Company in an interview.
