4G in India is currently growing at a rapid pace and we all should thank Reliance Jio for that. Jio which started its operations just a couple of years ago has already made its mark in the industry- both in terms of tariff plans and 4G availability. But the 4G connectivity indoors has always been an issue with all the telcos in India. Reliance Jio is looking to address this issue as its partnership with Samsung will ensure that the South Korean company will deploy indoor cells for improved 4G coverage indoors. Furthermore, as you might be aware of, Jio has set a goal of covering 99% of the Indian population and this new deployment will be a step towards achieving the same.

Reliance Jio to Reach 99% Coverage Soon
Senior Vice President and Head of Networks Business at Samsung India, Srini Sundararajan told ET Telecom, “We have seen drive happening on indoor small cells. But that doesn’t mean that outdoor isn’t happening. Outdoor is happening at a good speed basis the site availability and so on.” He further added, “We will continue to expand on this piece of the network [indoor] because there are places where it’s more value to go that way.”
On its connection with Reliance Jio, the executive said, “Jio tells us what their network requirements are, and we support…indoor always volume looks larger because devices are smaller and are easy to deploy and are self-configured.”
Notably, this is not the first time that Samsung Networks has bagged contract for equipment deployment from Reliance Jio. The Korean giant has been the sole equipment provider for Reliance Jio since the beginning and had also worked with the telco to deploy equipment in 140,000 sites for pan India coverage.
