To accelerate digital inclusivity for every household in India, Jio has added JioSpaceFiber to its premier lineup of broadband services, JioFiber and JioAirFiber.
With Jio, consumers and businesses have unprecedented access to reliable, low latency and highspeed internet and entertainment services, regardless of location.
The satellite network will also support additional capacity for mobile backhaul, further enhancing the availability and scale of Jio True5G in the remotest parts of the country.

The locations are Gir Gujarat, Korba Chhattisgarh, Nabrangpur Odisha and ONGC-Jorhat Assam. “Jio have enabled millions of homes and businesses in India to experience broadband internet for the first time.
With JioSpaceFiber, we expand our reach to cover the millions yet to be connected,” said Akash Ambani. JioSpaceFiber will allow everyone, everywhere, to fully participate in the new digital society with gigabit access to online government, education, health, and entertainment services, Ambani added.
