Reliance harnessing the “non-legacy” way
Intel SVP and GM of the Data Platforms Group, Navin Shenoy said that the Intel Jio 5G partnership is the fruit of the investments. He emphasised the expansiveness of 5G technology and also spoke about the “non-legacy” approach taken by Reliance to implement 5G technology in the country. The famed chipset maker also confirmed that the software from Cohere Technologies could result in double utilization of some network spectrum via Intel’s chips which would result in the benefit of carriers that spend billions when it comes to the purchase and acquisition of spectrum rights. Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani said at the time the Made-in-India system will enable the company to launch “a world-class service on 100 percent home-grown technologies”.
