Reliance Jio, India’s largest telecom operator, has finally seen its UBR customer base crossing 5 million figure milestone. For the unaware, UBR stands for Unlicensed Band Radio (UBR). With the UBR, Jio is offering FWA (fixed wireless access) services to Indian customers. With UBR, Jio has been able to reach more areas, where deploying fiber is hard. Note that Jio’s FWA service is divided into two segments – one is purely with 5G FWA gear top of a 5G SA network, the second is UBR. Now, Jio’s UBR service has more than 5 million customers PAN India. The data was published by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on its monthly subscription report for July 2026. Let us take a look into the data.
