\n\nJio Platforms is preparing for the next phase of telecom technology, said Managing Director Akash Mukesh Ambani on Thursday. He noted that the company intends to introduce 6G connectivity through a software upgrade instead of investing in an entirely new physical network. The announcement comes as the company prepares for its initial public offering (IPO), offering investors a glimpse into its technology strategy and future growth plans.
\n\nSpeaking at the Jio Platforms IPO press conference, Ambani said the company's existing network infrastructure and proprietary technology stack would support its transition to next-generation connectivity.
\n\n“Jio’s first mission is to democratize technology to benefit Indians. 6G is on our horizon. What this really means is that we will do 6G as a software upgrade rather than a new infrastructure build-out,” Ambani said.
\n\nThe approach could help Jio leverage its existing telecom assets as it prepares for future technological developments. The company has built an extensive network across India, supported by hundreds of thousands of towers and a large fibre footprint.
