Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited Chairman Akash Ambani showered
PM Narendra Modi with praises for working on latest technology and leading the
digital connectivity revolution to connect 1.4 billion Indians.
Addressing the seventh edition of the India Mobile
Congress, Reliance Industries Ltd Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s elder son Akash
Ambani said, “Our visionary Prime Minister has given my generation an
aspirational vision of transforming our country into a developed Bharat. You
are always working on using the latest technology that can improve the lives of
people. The best example is India’s digital public infrastructure, which has
been internationally praised.”
He added, “If anyone wants to get a glimpse of how a
developed Bharat is being built, all they should do is come to the India Mobile
Congress.”
Besides, Akash Ambani appreciated the Prime Minister’s
commitment to embracing innovation, welcoming change, and leveraging the latest
technology to improve people’s lives.
He pointed to Bharat’s digital public infrastructure,
which has received international acclaim, as a testament to this commitment.
Akash Ambani further noted that Prime Minister Modi’s
challenge to make Bharat a global leader in 5G technology had energised the
nation.
“The best example of it is Bharat’s digital public
infrastructure, which has been internationally praised. Millions of youngsters
like me are inspired by your work in making Digital India a means to build a
more innovative, inclusive and sustainable world. Last year, you challenged us
to make India a global leader in 5G technology. Your challenge energised us,
and what we have achieved has stunned the world,” said Akash Ambani.
During the event, Reliance Jio Infocomm introduced Bharat’s
first satellite-based giga fibre service called JioSpaceFiber, which will
enable users to access high-speed broadband services.
The new JioSpaceFiber is loosely based on the
technology similar to Elon Musk’s Starlink and was not available to Bharat.
While showcasing the technology and products of Jio to
PM Modi, Akash Ambani said, “Jio have enabled millions of homes and businesses
in Bharat to experience broadband internet for the first time. With
JioSpaceFiber, we expand our reach to cover the millions yet to be connected,”
he said.
He added the one-of-its-kind satellite-based internet
service will be available across the country at highly affordable price.
Jio has formed a partnership with SES to harness the
most advanced medium earth orbit (MEO) satellite technology globally,
specifically SES’s O3b and new O3b mPOWER satellites.
To start off with its operations, JioSpaceFiber has
already been connected to four remote locations in Bharat – Gir Gujarat, Korba
Chhattisgarh, Nabrangpur Odissa, and ONGC-Jorhat Assam.
