"High-speed Internet connection to hitherto unreached areas of India is intended to be extended via satellite broadband. Mukesh Ambani's communication network has connected four remote locations to demonstrate its wide reach — Gir in Gujarat, Korba in Chattisgarh, Nabrangpur in Odisha, and ONGC in Jorhat, Assam. The first space-based fibre-like services are currently being implemented in some regions of the country and will bring about digital transformation even in the most remote areas," said the Chairman Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited.
With gigabit-level access to online governmental, educational, health, and entertainment services, Ambani continued, JioSpaceFiber seeks to give everyone the chance to actively participate in the rapidly developing digital society.
Despite Jio's claims to provide low-latency internet, analysts predict the latency of its JioSpaceFiber service will likely be significantly higher than that of Starlink or other LEO systems.
