Jio's Sovereign Connectivity Vision
Reliance Jio is assessing the feasibility of establishing a sovereign Indian Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation to provide broadband connectivity across the country, particularly in remote and underserved areas. This initiative, unveiled by Akash Ambani at Reliance Industries' AGM, aims to harness the potential of satellite technology to bridge the digital divide and foster economic growth.
