Samsung, Reliance Jio Partner To Install Cellular IoT Network In India

Samsung Electronics and Reliance Jio Infocomm have declared that they will be functioning collectively to install a cellular IoT (Internet of Things) network across the country. The firms have stated they will keep on their association to get LTE coverage to 99% population of India and notably perk up the network capacity throughout the country. Within this affiliation, Samsung will provide Jio with tools to improve the LTE network capacity & coverage, and with the most up-to-date statement, set up a next-generation cellular IoT network.

With the countrywide cellular IoT network, Samsung and Jio intend to back a range of enterprises and consumer use cases such as smart appliances, surveillance, vehicle tracking, security, smart metering, and more, as mentioned by the companies. They assert to be prepared to make the way for a completely digital India where the Internet of Things will get to every corner. Reliance Jio Infocomm’s President, Jyotindra Thacker, said, “Making certain that one and all have the advantage of mobile broadband which is both affordable and available to everyone is our top precedence. We will once more collaborate with Samsung to provide a set of innovative services for all customers.”

NB-IoT (NarrowBand IoT) is an LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) radio technology set designed to facilitate a broad range of services and devices to be linked making use of cellular telecommunications bands. At this point, it not only makes use of the accessible band possessed by Jio but is also facilitated by a software update of the already set up base stations. Also, the firm has installed a devoted cellular IoT virtualized core. Further, it was informed by Samsung that the commercial NB-IoT network established this month in Mumbai in collaboration with Samsung will soon influence country’s other parts.

To recollect, Samsung and Jio had declared Project Infill last year back in February at the MWC. The association intended to install the LTE network of Jio across the country. To that end, Samsung and Jio had proclaimed an “infill and growth project” to advance its LTE communication services by enhancing network coverage as well as capacity.

We have been determined to provide the best experience to all customers at Jio. The LTE network of Jio will unravel the potential of IoT and assure a much more safe and convenient milieu for the user.”
