Reliance Jio 5G strategy will be challenging, says Ookla CEO

According to an online report, Ookla CEO has noted that even though Jio’s 5G strategy could cost less, it would not be easy to accomplish. He also noted that Jio’s strategy could cost the company less money, which it would set up through software.

5G in India is expected to launch sometime next year, once the spectrum auction takes place. Ookla CEO Doug Suttles noted that Jio’s strategy for 5G in India is risky and challenging as it has not been done before. For 5G in India, Jio will opt for the Open RAN route and build its own infrastructure. According to Suttles, it will be an advantage over time. He also noted that Jio’s strategy could cost the company less money, which it would set up through software.
