This joint project was established to upgrade current LTE mobile communication services across India by expanding both the current network capacity as well as network coverage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The project sets a high benchmark for LTE services in India through wider coverage, in-building penetration and the highest speeds, regardless of the user\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s location. Utilizing spectrum in the 850, 1800 and 2300MHz bands, it will enable seamless indoor and outdoor coverage in dense urban areas. The project will also extend Jio\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s superiority in rural areas by expanding its reach to over 90% of the population.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6701\" src=\"http:\/\/www.YourChennai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Samsung-Make-for-India-300x173.png\" alt=\"Samsung - Make for India\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Samsung-Make-for-India-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Samsung-Make-for-India.png 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Previously, Samsung provided the LTE core, base stations and solutions required for VoLTE services, as well as massive deployment services for establishing a nationwide network for Jio. The two companies have successfully established the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s largest greenfield LTE network.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am excited to announce our new project with Samsung,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em> said <strong>Jyotindra Thacker, President of Reliance Jio Infocomm<\/strong>.<em>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We successfully achieved 100 million subscribers <span data-term=\"goog_643043398\">in 170 days<\/span>, making us the fastest-growing company in the world, and the numbers continue to rapidly grow. It was possible because we introduced a truly effective LTE service, Pan-India.

The company has already established itself as the leading data service provider in the country within a few months of commencing operations. It was also India\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first operator to introduce free-of-charge High Definition calls (VoLTE). This is especially notable, as this approach is now becoming a new market rule in India.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Samsung, as Jio\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s strategic partner, has established a foundation for Indians to enjoy exclusive services, including voice calls, with data as their engine. It has also gone a step further, enabling Jio to offer a superior service to its users by providing professional solutions such as Samsung VoLTE, Quality Monitoring and Analysis (VoMA) and Cognitive Traffic Monitoring and Optimizer for a superior user experience. Further, it was through Samsung\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s VoMA that the steady management of high traffic in data-dense environments was enabled. The tools monitor and optimize mobile data services, and have successfully contributed to enabling Jio to provide its subscribers with a stable and improved user experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The relationship between Jio and Samsung goes back to 2012, when the two companies signed a turn-key agreement covering the entire scope of network, ranging from equipment to establishment and maintenance services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People of India will enjoy unprecedented throughput and coverage as Jio and Samsung work towards a truly \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Digital India\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Samsung announced today its innovative<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30,95],"tags":[8942,1330,8940,8939,8938,8941,7588],"class_list":["post-6700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-business-political-national-realestate","category-technology-mobiles-startup","tag-coverage","tag-digital-india","tag-ig-project","tag-indian-lte-mobile-market-landscape","tag-jio","tag-people-of-india","tag-samsung"],"views":1661,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Samsung-Home-Page-Website.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6700"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6700\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6705,"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6700\/revisions\/6705"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourchennai.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
