Apart from the ultra high speed FTTH connection, Jio also showcased its plug and play home wi-fi router. This router connects to Jio 4G LTE network and converts it to wi-fi network usable by all devices of the consumer. Being plug and play, the device is highly easy to use and the subscriber has the mobility of plugging it into any power socket in any corner of the house.

According to the comparison Jio network provides 4 times faster video streaming than incumbent operators’ 4G networks. Video calling on Jio network is 5 times faster than incumbents’ high speed data networks.

Where other operators’ high speed data networks take 120 secs for downloading a 30 MB file, Jio network does the same in 12 secs which is 10 times faster than the incumbents’ networks. The upload of a 20 MB file on incumbents’ network takes 120 secs while the same on Jio network takes 21 secs which means Jio has 6 times faster upload speeds.
