Connecting the unconnected with 4G

January 9, 2023
While for most of us 4G connectivity has become an integral part of our lives, many people from remote locations of the country are still deprived of the benefits of India's digital transformation journey. Aiming to bridge this gap, Jio Odisha Team set on the journey of 'Connecting the Unconnected', by continuously expanding its 4G digital footprint across challenging geographies and rural hinterlands.

Narayanpatna, a remote town in Odisha, and the nearby villages in the hilly Koraput district joined in Jio’s resolve to digitalise India with a superfast 4G network. Since the installation of the 4G tower, Jio’s network has benefited the residents of the surrounding villages of Bikrampur, Mundigura, Bachanaput, Anchalpur, among others by successfully catering to over 7000 people.

Thanks to the successful tower installation, many residents of this remote town experienced the benefits of 4G internet for the first time. Additionally, team Jio’s efforts were not just limited to Narayanpatna, but transcended to include multiple important government offices, a hospital, administrative installations, educational institutes and businesses.

This initiative by the Jio Odisha team has garnered applause from all quarters including the local residents, business communities, employees, students, as well as the district administration. Jio has been playing a significant role in bridging the digital connectivity gap and enabling residents of the remotest corners of India to experience the boons of digital opportunities.

Armed with its vision for a Digital Life, Jio takes digital experiences a step ahead by pairing its 4G Data services with JioPhone Next. The ultra-affordable and feature-rich smartphone developed in collaboration with Google has been empowering millions of hitherto unconnected citizens, providing them accessibility and inclusion in the digital revolution all across the nation!
