Indian operator Reliance Jio Infocomm has launched 4Gservices on the local market. The 4G offering is available to start to Reliance Jio Infocomm employees, the Economic Times reports. The exclusive offer for Reliance Jio Infocomm staff will run until Jio launches its 4G services commercially in March-April 2016.
Reliance employees across group companies and business partners will be provided free 4G connections and VoLTE-enabled handsets at discounted rates to test Jio's high-speed broadband services.
"On the 83rd birth anniversary of our founder, I wish to offer you Jio services from tomorrow [28 December]", said Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, Jio's parent company. The launch event was witnessed by 35,000 employees and their families, with 80,000 more watching the live streaming of the event across 1,000 centres, plus Dallas in the US, showcasing Jio's new network.
"By throwing open the Jio services to all its business partners, and its vast number of employees and their families spread all across India, RIL will be making the optimal use of human resources to ensure that the last and the slightest wrinkle would be smoothed out to perfection before Jio launches its all-India commercial services," the company said.
