JioSpaceFiber, a satellite-based gigabit internet service, was shown during the India Mobile Congress

Jio has yet to provide information about JioSpaceFiber, including as Internet speeds and when the service would be available to subscribers in the country

The nation’s first mega fibre Internet service, JioSpaceFiber, was showcased on Friday at the 2023 India Mobile Congress with satellite technology. In order to give Internet access in places not served by standard networks, the mobile network service provider is preparing to introduce its satellite Internet services in India. JioSpaceFiber is anticipated to face competition from other service providers hoping to enter the nation’s satellite internet market, including Elon Musk’s Starlink, Amazon’s Project Kuiper, and Bharti Enterprises’ OneWeb.

Jio announced that its JioSpaceFiber giga fibre Internet service, which is based on satellite technology, has already connected four rural regions in India. The regions covered by the recently installed satellite service

ONGC-Jorhat in Assam, Gir in Gujarat, Korba in Chattisgarh, and Nabrangpur in Odisha are likely for testing reasons. The company has not yet disclosed the price of its services or the schedule for when they would be available to customers in India.

As per the telecom company, Société Européenne des Satellites (SES), a satellite telecommunications network provider based in Luxembourg, will be the backbone of the JioSpaceFiber mega fibre Internet service. SES’s O3b and the upcoming O3b mPOWER satellites will be used in conjunction with the network’s medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites to deliver gigabit-level Internet connectivity.

“In India, millions of families and companies can now use broadband internet for the first time thanks to Jio. We reach out to the millions of people who are still unconnected with JioSpaceFiber,” Reliance Jio Chairman Akash Ambani stated in a prepared statement.

JioSpaceFiber will eventually compete with service providers like OneWeb (Bharti), Project Kuiper (Amazon), and Starlink (SpaceX), but the business has not said when it would launch in India. In addition to gaining new consumers to join its existing 450 million in the nation, Jio will gain from being among the first companies to offer fiber-grade Internet services to users in distant regions.
