What is Reliance Jio 5.5G Network How it affects users

Reliance Jio has taken a step forward in mobile connectivity by introducing 5.5G technology in India. Known as an upgrade to 5G, the 5.5G network is also known as 5G Advanced and it offers faster speeds, lower latency, and better network performance over the regular 5G network. This upgrade promises to change how users experience mobile networks in India, reaching speeds of up to 1Gbps for true 5G users and beyond.

5.5G is an advanced version of 5G, developed under the 3GPP Release 18 standard. It builds on earlier 5G standards to offer higher data rates, broader coverage and better uplink connectivity. With multi-carrier aggregation, 5.5G networks can achieve maximum downlink rates of 10Gbps and uplink rates of 1Gbps, allowing for both personal and industrial use.

Apart from Jio, operators around the world are testing 5.5G capabilities. Let us tell you that Zain Kuwait achieved speed of 10Gbps during testing and Vivacom in Bulgaria gave similar information. Jio aims to set a new benchmark in India, with users already benefiting from faster speeds and more stable connections in environments like underground parking lots and crowded events.

Jio’s 5.5G network offers multi-cell connectivity, allowing devices to connect to multiple network cells simultaneously, even on multiple towers. This ensures faster data transfer and better call quality especially in areas with high network congestion. 5.5G also provides advanced capabilities for the industry, such as providing better wireless networks for critical applications.
