Telecom major Reliance Jio has become the world’s largest mobile operator in terms of data traffic, surpassing China Mobile. The announcement came as Jio revealed its quarterly results, showcasing staggering numbers and milestones achieved in various segments.
As of March 2024, Jio boasts a subscriber base of 481.8 million, out of which, 108 million are on Jio’s True5G Standalone network. The number reflects Jio’s stronghold in the Indian telecom market.
According to a press release, the total traffic on the Jio network has reached 40.9 Exabytes, marking a 35.2% year on-year increase. This is attributed to the growing adoption of 5G and home services. Notably, 28% of the traffic comes from 5G subscribers, indicating a swift transition towards next-generation connectivity. Jio’s fixed wireless access (FWA) services have contributed significantly to the data traffic. Since the onset of the pandemic, there has been a 2.4x increase in data traffic.
