They will be launching 5G services in Trivandrum by the end of this month followed by Thrissur, Kozhikode, and Malappuram by January 2023. By December 2023 every tehsil and taluk of Kerala will have Jio’s 5G services.
With the launch of Jio’s True 5G services, Kerala is not just getting the best telecommunication network, but will open doors to growth opportunities in the areas of e-governance, education, healthcare, IT and SME business here. 5G will also enable citizens and the government to remain connected on a real time basis and will also improve implementation and efficiency of government schemes for the last mile user.
Kerala government has special focus on the start-up ecosystem, and the advent of 5G services in the State will give a great boost to the start-ups here that are working on neo technologies such as IoT, Blockchain, AI, Machine Learning & Data Analytics. The advent of 5G will further propel these Start-ups in Kerala and give them wings to fly.”
