Jio Moves Closer to Launching India’s Homegrown Satellite Internet Network
This Fin Shorts story covers how Jio is taking a significant step towards launching India's own satellite internet network. The Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe) has given the green light to Jio’s ambitious plan for 1,600 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites after a thorough technical review. This move by Reliance, a major player in India's telecom sector, aims to bring broadband and mobile satellite services to every corner of the country. Jio plans to establish around 20-22 ground stations with an impressive total capacity of up to 5 Terabits per second (Tbps) nationwide. This development could position Jio as a deep tech player in the long run, potentially impacting the Indian stock market and the broader digital infrastructure landscape.
