5G spectrum auction: Reliance Jio becomes most aggressive bidder
Jio has acquired 5G spectrum in the 700MHz, 800MHz, 1800MHz, 3300MHz and 26GHz bands, totaling up to 26,772 MHz, which is the highest in India.
With a presence in the 700MHz band, Jio will undoubtedly become the "only operator to provide pan-India True 5G services with higher speeds, lower latency and massive connectivity."
The telco also got the highest sub-GHz 5G spectrum and 1,000 MHz mmWave (26 GHz) across 22 circles in India.
