In the Chandigarh Tricity region, which includes Mohali, Panchkula, Zirakpur, Kharar, and Dera Bassi, 5G service would be launched, according to a statement made on Wednesday by Telecom Company Reliance Jio.
Reliance Jio, a telecom provider, was the first in Chandigarh Tricity and 11 other cities across the nation to launch 5G services.
With the debut of the “Jio welcome offer” in 11 locations throughout the nation, Jio has extended this deal for the New Year to all of its consumers. As of Thursday, users are free to use an unlimited amount of data at speeds of up to 1 Gbps (gigabyte per second).
THE REASON FOR THE 5G LAUNCH
One of the company’s spokespersons made reference to the need to roll out 5G to millions of its subscribers starting in 2024 in order for them to take advantage of the game-changing advantages of Jio True 5G Technology. The best telecommunication network, as well as opportunities in e-governance, education, automation, artificial intelligence, gaming, healthcare, agriculture, information technology, and small and medium enterprises, will be provided by these cities, which are important tourist destinations and important centers for education.
Trivandrum, Mysuru, Nashik, Aurangabad, Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Zirakpur, Kharar, and Derabassi are the other 11 locations in which the telecom provider will roll out its services. The 33-district headquarters in Gujarat as well as Delhi NCR, Varanasi, Mumbai, Nathdwara, Hyderabad, Pune, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Chennai were the only locations where it was previously accessible.
On December 20, 2022, Kochi’s Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan launched Jio’s True 5G services. All Jio customers in Thiruvananthapuram will be welcomed to take advantage of the Jio Welcome Offer starting on December 28, 2022, which has no additional costs and offers consumers unlimited data up to 1 Gbps.
Jio also worked with OnePlus earlier this month to introduce the ground-breaking standalone 5G technology to India. Every OnePlus 5G handset may now use Jio True 5G thanks to this agreement.
According to sources, Jio and OnePlus would collaborate aggressively to increase users’ access to 5G technology, furthering the expansion of their 5G technology services across their product line. This would result in all OnePlus smartphones, including the Nord, Nord 2T, Nord 2, Nord CE, Nord CE 2, and Nord CE 2 Lite, having access to the Jio True 5G network.
WHAT DOES THE PLAN OFFER?
Users of the Jio Welcome Offer are given free access to unlimited data at rates of up to 1 Gbps. On the 700 MHz, 3500 MHz, and 26 GHz bands, the network would function. Carrier aggregation is also supported by the network.

HOW TO ACTIVATE 5G?
You don’t have to swap out your SIM card. What you do require is a device that is compatible with the Jio 5G network and access to the 5G network in your location. Additionally, you must have an active plan that is still in effect that is either prepaid or post-paid and costs Rs 239 or more.
In addition, Jio claimed in its news release that its 5G design was independent of the 4G network. Furthermore, it possesses a variety of 5G spectrums in the 700 MHz, 3500 MHz, and 26 GHz bands.
