Samsung today announced its ‘Infill & Growth Project’ for Reliance Jio Infocomm in India to upgrade current LTE mobile communication services across the country by expanding both network capacity as well as network coverage.
The project seeks to set a high benchmark for LTE services in India through wider coverage, in-building penetration and the highest speeds, regardless of the user’s location.
Utilizing spectrum in the 850, 1800 and 2300MHz bands, it will enable seamless indoor and outdoor coverage in dense urban areas. The project will also extend Jio’s superiority in rural areas by expanding its reach to over 90 per cent of the population.
Previously, Samsung provided the LTE core, base stations and solutions required for VoLTE services, as well as massive deployment services for establishing a nationwide network for Jio. The two companies have successfully established the world’s largest greenfield LTE network.
“The massive deployment of over a million cells across India is especially remarkable. We will strive to create new paradigms for LTE-Advanced Pro and 5G by closely cooperating with Jio as a unified workforce,” said Youngky Kim, President and Head of Network Business at Samsung Electronics.
