Reliance Jio, India's largest telecom operator, has won the 'Telecom Company of the Year' at the Asian Telecom Awards 2024. The telco got the award for deploying the world's largest 5G standalone (SA) core network. Jio has almost reached every part of the country with its 5G networks and is currently working to deepen the coverage.
The award was given to Jio at a grand ceremony at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Center, Singapore. Reliance Jio has close to 100 million 5G customers and will likely add more users in 2024 as its customers upgrade from 4G-only devices to 5G phones.
