The has been a sharp rise in the number of 4G smartphone users in the country. The spike has been mostly seen on Mukesh Ambani led telecom operator’s network as it remains the company which has amassed the most number of subscribers in the country right now. But, as per a new ET report, Reliance Jio subscribers will be able to make voice calls and access mobile data through Jio WiFi. This WiFi network will be accessible by VoLTE phone users by a software developed by Sterlite Technologies. Not only will this help the subscribers in getting high speed and good quality services, but it will also reduce congestion on the network of Reliance Jio.

New Software to Help Reliance Jio Route Network Traffic
Sterlite Technologies, which has developed this new software, is an Indian network solutions firm. This company has developed new software which will be able to route or offload Jio’s network traffic to the nearest Jio WiFi Zone. This would come particularly in use where the Reliance Jio network is facing a crunch because of congestion. A person aware of the matter also spoke about it.
As per this person, If Reliance Jio deploys Sterlite’s network solution to offload its congestion to the nearest WiFi zone, then the telecom operator will be able to use its resource, i.e. the available spectrum optimally. Currently, the telecom operator continues to add around 25 million subscribers every quarter. When ET reached out to STL, an official spokesperson of the company said: “We do not name customers, and let them (instead) determine when to deploy a solution and communicate that to the market.” As of now, the financial details of a transaction if it’s happening between Reliance Jio and STL remains unknown. Also, when reaching out to Reliance Jio, there was no answer from the telco.
