If Jio succeeds, it will be the first carrier in the world to develop its own 5G technology instead of partnering with network providers like Nokia, Ericsson or Huawei. Reports of Jio developing 5G technology in-house have been doing the rounds since at least 2018, when it <a href="https://www.radisys.com/press-releases/reliance-industries-acquire-radisys">acquired</a> a US-based firm called Radisys which developed 5G and internet of things (IoT) technologies. Now, a new <a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/reliance-jio-seeks-dots-permission-to-do-5g-lab-testing/1992508/">report</a> by Financial Express has revealed that Jio has filed a request to begin testing its 5G tech in its laboratories. This comes weeks after Airtel <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/airtel-signs-7636-crore-deal-with-nokia-to-enhance-4g-network-lay-foundation-for-5g-network/articleshow/75423000.cms">announced</a> its partnership with Finnish network provider Nokia to lay the foundation for its 5G network. Two of the biggest telecom companies in India with nearly 700 million subscribers could keep Huawei out of their 5G networks. India takes steps to keep China’s Huawei out of its 5G networks Amidst the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/defense/news/indian-army-on-india-china-war-in-galwan-valley-soldiers-killed/articleshow/76402297.cms">India-China border dispute</a>, the Indian government is <a href="https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/big-blow-for-zte-huawei-india-to-bar-bsnl-from-sourcing-chinese-gear-may-also-bar-pvt-telcos/76431279">said</a> to be considering the possibility of preventing telecom companies from using 5G equipment from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE. It has already <a href="https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/big-blow-for-zte-huawei-india-to-bar-bsnl-from-sourcing-chinese-gear-may-also-bar-pvt-telcos/76431279">banned</a> BSNL and MTNL from using any new Huawei products for their 4G rollout. Jio uses Samsung’s tech for its 4G network throughout India, while Airtel and Vodafone Idea use Huawei's technology in some circles. With Jio working on its own 5G tech and Airtel teaming up with Nokia for 5G, this leaves Vodafone Idea which is in a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/telecom/news/vodafone-idea-appeals-supreme-court-to-stagger-spectrum-payments-over-20-years/articleshow/76440420.cms">precarious position right now</a>. Given the fact that it has not launched minor features like Wi-Fi Calling, it’s unlikely that the company will look at 5G technology anytime soon. Why does India want to keep Huawei out? Despite security concerns expressed by countries like the <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-huawei-tech-zte/huawei-zte-cannot-be-trusted-and-pose-security-threat-u-s-attorney-general-idUSKBN1XO2UJ">US</a> and <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/23/uk-government-reverses-course-on-huaweis-involvement-in-5g-networks/">UK</a>, the Indian government had <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/huaweis-survival-plan-is-off-to-a-good-start-as-india-clears-it-for-5g-trials/articleshow/73042042.cms">initially cleared</a> Huawei for 5G trials. However, now the decision to keep Huawei out of India’s 5G networks seems to have been expedited after the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/defense/news/indian-army-on-india-china-war-in-galwan-valley-soldiers-killed/articleshow/76402297.cms">India-China border clashes</a>. The decision to ban Huawei and ZTE from BSNL and MTNL’s 4G networks was taken on June 17. According to an ET <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/telecom-news/india-to-bar-bsnl-from-sourcing-gear-from-huawei-zte-may-also-bar-pvt-telcos-from-using-chinese-gear/articleshow/76431605.cms?from=mdr#:~:text=Once%20signed%20off%2C%20the%20order,the%20country's%20commercial%205G%20deployments.&amp;text=He%20added%20that%20telecom%20formed,to%20safeguard%20the%20country's%20security.">report</a>, security concerns were also behind the decision to ban Huawei and ZTE. Commercial rollout of 5G in India could take more than a year While Jio still has to test out its 5G technology, Airtel could get a head start since Nokia’s 5G solutions are already in use in several countries around the world. With that said, the commercial rollout of 5G networks in India could take more than a year. The government has not decided yet on the trials, and the 5G spectrum auction has <a href="https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/5g-spectrum-auction-likely-to-be-delayed-in-india-amid-covid-19-pandemic-report/75006522">reportedly</a> been pushed back to October-December 2020. The ET report states that the ban on Huawei and ZTE could lead to an increase of 10-15% in costs for procuring 5G gear.

The HD video conferencing app has been available for beta users for over a month now and has finally been launched for <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jio.rilconferences&amp;hl=en_IN">Android</a> and <a href="https://apps.apple.com/in/app/jiomeet/id1507770643">iOS</a> users. It can also be accessed through Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on computers. The Coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns across the world have led to an increase in the usage of video conferencing apps. Zoom has emerged as one of the most popular platforms and has witnessed a substantial increase in usage. JioMeet features The JioMeet app allows users to set up a one on one call or a conference call with up to 100 participants with enterprise-grade host controls. The JioMeet app offers similar features such as Zoom, including the ability for users to join a meeting without having to sign in. Users can simply use a ‘Meeting ID’ or a ‘Personal link name’ to join a meeting. JioMeet allows users to host or join an unlimited number of calls. Additionally, unlike Zoom that limits the duration of calls with three or more users to 40 minutes, JioMeet has said that its calls can last even for up to 24 hours. The ‘enterprise grade host controls’ offered in JioMeets include password protection for meetings, multi-device login support, ability to share screen, a waiting room, ability to schedule meetings and more.

Just today, the rally in the shares of Reliance added over $5 billion to his net worth, making him the ninth richest man in the world. Asia’s richest has added almost $28 billion to his fortune within four months. According to Forbes, Mukesh Ambani is worth $64 billion. <div type="image" title="snapshot-1592569929520" msid="76466767" hostid="261"></div> His wealth is largely linked to Reliance Industries — an pharma to oil to telecom conglomerate gaining share price day by day. RIL’s stock crashed during the Indian stock market meltdown. But one of his most promising businesses — Jio — came to the rescue. Reliance Industries added ₹1.75 trillion (about $23 billion) to its market capitalisation in the last six months as the one-time energy giant accelerated the pivot to becoming a technology, consumer and media giant. This included partnerships with some of the biggest name in each sector⁠— from Facebook to Netflix and a pending offer from Google and Microsoft. He sold nearly half a quarter stake of his three-year-old telecom — raising ₹168,818 crore (about $15 billion) in 58 days — to Facebook, Silver Lake, Vista Equity Partners, General Atlantic, KKR, Mudabada, ADIA, TPG, Saudi PIF. <div type="image" title="XX" msid="76466794" hostid="261"></div> READ ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/akash-ambani-was-the-one-to-choose-facebook-the-next-big-investments-for-reliance-jio-and-the-ideas-sold-to-investors/articleshow/76316650.cms">Inside the Reliance Jio deals – Akash Ambani was the one to choose Facebook, the next big investments and the ideas sold to investors</a> And today, his Reliance Industries declared <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/reliance-share-price-jumps-in-early-trade-because-mukesh-ambani-says-reliance-is-now-net-debt-free/articleshow/76456966.cms">itself net debt free</a> — nine months before the actual deadline of his promise of becoming one.
