The 5G mmWave spectrum offers high bandwidth and low latency
Jio's acquisition of a combination of low-band, mid-band, and mmWave spectrum allows for an extensive spectrum footprint.
This enables the company to offer high-quality streaming services as well as meet the needs of small, medium, and large enterprises with 5G-based business connectivity solutions.
The 5G mmWave spectrum's exceptional bandwidth and low latency are crucial differentiators for Jio's 5G network.
