The Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd (RJio) is ready with 22 million mobile numbers and offices in 880 cities, but analysts worry hurdles in laying fibre optic cables and the relatively shorter reach of its high-speed spectrum may limit its ability to meet service rollout obligations in time.
The telecom unit of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) which acquired licence and spectrum for telecom services in 2010 is yet to start commercial operations. The company has already spent in less than five years nearly what market leader Bharti Airtel Ltd spent in 23 years.
Reliance Jio has plans in both wireless and fixed line telecom segments. Wireless or mobile services refer to cellphone-based services such as those offered by Airtel and Idea Cellular Ltd. The fixed line service largely refers to FTH or fibre-to-home connectivity, which can offer 4G-level speeds to personal computers and other gadgets.
RJio has pan-India 20MHz spectrum under the 2,300MHz broadband wireless access band in 22 circles and 5-7MHz spectrum under the 1,800 MHz band in 14 circles. It plans to use this 1,800MHz spectrum in conjunction with its pan-India 2,300MHz spectrum to provide seamless 4G services.
