After wireless, Jio to launch fixed line services: Ambani

July 21, 2017 19:18

Reliance Industries' chairman Mukesh Ambani today said rolling out fixed line services will be the next focus area for the company's telecom services arm, Reliance Jio, after the wireless expansion.

"In next level, we're very focussed in terms of giving fixed line connectivity to both home and enterprise," Ambani said, answering shareholder queries at the company's 40th annual general meeting in Mumbai.

Earlier, he said Jio is targeting to expand its wireless network to cover 99 per cent of the country's population in the next 12 months which will make sure that the 4G coverage in the country is more than the 2G one.

Jio today launched a 4G-ready handset targeted at the 50 crore Indians using a feature phone at present. As part of the offering, it is also giving a cable to connect with the TV as a special accessory to display the phone content on a bigger screen. -- PTI
