One billion Aadhar cards have already been issued (80% of the population). This should help reduce friction in the activation process on commercial launch.
Reliance Jio Coverage as on 16-June-2016The coverage is good; similar to incumbents. We didn?t witness any network black spots during our usage over seven days, which is
commendable for a new network in our view.
Reliance Jio SpeedTest 4G LTEVaries from 5-50mbps and is a function of the band being used. Jio has 5/6.6/20MHz in 800/1800/2300Mhz in Mumbai. Its 800/1800MHz provides better coverage but leads to slower speed as lesser spectrum leads to lower speed throughout. Jio?s user experience thus is similar to Airtel 3G+4G. Note that while incumbents do have adequate 1800MHz spectrum, some is used for 2G. 2300MHz is currently the only band where a sizable amount for 4G is available; Jio (100% coverage) and Airtel (80%) are the only telcos possessing this spectrum.
