Big Diwali push: Reliance launches JioTrue5G-powered Wi-Fi services
"We welcome the launch of 5G services. It's 5G for Sriji," said Vishal Baba, mahant of the Nathdwara temple. Chairman of Reliance Industries Limited Mukesh Ambani had visited the temple last month and promised to launch the services in the state from the temple. In 2015 too, Mukesh Ambani had paid a visit to Shrinathji temple before the launch of 4G services.
Reliance Jio Chairman Akash Ambani launched 5G services in Rajasthan from the famous Shrinathji temple in Nathdwara, Rajsamand. Akash dedicated the services to Srinathji -- the deity of the Ambani family. The commercial launch of the services will take place later. "The launch of 5G services will transform the lives of people in Rajasthan. It will make them technology savvy at par with global citizens," a spokesperson told PTI.

On October 1, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched 5G services in India at the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2022 in New Delhi.
Accompanied by Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani and Jio Chairman Akash Ambani, Modi first visited the Reliance Jio booth at the IMC, where Jio showcased its indigenous 5G technology. Jio has built India’s own indigenous 5G technology, a major step in the direction of the Prime Minister’s "AtmaNirbhar Bharat" agenda.
To enable 5G-for-all, Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (Jio) announced that it is introducing JioTrue5G-powered Wi-Fi services in high footfall areas such as Educational Institutes, Religious places, Railway Stations, Bus stands, commercial hubs and more. This is in addition to the JioTrue5G service, and the Jio welcome offer launched recently in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Varanasi.
Jio teams are working round the clock to make additional cities go live and increase the availability of True5G-ready handsets. As a Shubh-Aarambh, along with JioTrue5G services, Jio has today started JioTrue5Gpowered Wi-Fi services in the temple town of Nathdwara, in Rajasthan.
While Jio users will get this service without any charge during the Jio Welcome Offer period, non-Jio customers will also be able to try this service before they move to Jio to get the full and unlimited service experience. This is yet another embodiment of Jio’s “We Care” philosophy that is core to its brand ethos.
Akash Ambani said, “Service to humanity is one of the most endearing facets of Indian culture, the roots of which can be found in our socio-religious traditions. As stated earlier, 5G cannot remain an exclusive service to the privileged few or those in our largest cities. It must be available to every citizen, every home, and every business across India. This is a step in that direction to enable every Indian with JioTrue5G.
"Today, we have powered the first True5G-enabled Wi-Fi service at the holy town of Nathdwara and the temple of Lord Srinath Ji. With this, we will power many more such locations and allow them to trial our services. In addition, we welcome Chennai as our latest city to be added to Jio True5G Welcome Offer."
As promised during the recent launch, JioTrue5G will expand across more cities, and Chennai is the latest city to be added to the Jio Welcome Offer. Invited Jio users in Chennai can access unlimited 5G Data at up to 1 Gbps and experience JioTrue5G.
