Reliance Jio has concluded 5G coverage planning in 1,000 Indian cities thus far and has been running trials on advanced use cases across Healthcare and Industrial Automation on its network, the company stated on Friday.
Jio added that the 5G network will be contingent on "targeted customer consumption and revenue using Heat maps, 3D maps and ray-tracing technology for precise coverage planning to target high-consumption and high-perception locations." The company also said that it has joined hands with WhatsApp to simplify the prepaid recharge experience.
