TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ From driving a car in Mumbai sitting in the national capital to flying drones equipped with facial recognition capabilities, Reliance Jio on Thursday displayed potential uses of high speed 5G network technology.
On the opening day of India Mobile Congress (IMC), richest Indian Mukesh Ambani’s Jio — the world’s largest and fastest growing mobile data network — together with Ericsson demonstrated trial 5G network to drive a car prototyped at Reliance Corporate Park (RCP) in Mumbai from a remote location about 1,388-km away at Aerocity grounds in New Delhi.
It also had a 5G-enabled drone that could perform powerful security surveillance and identifying threats by monitoring from the sky on a real-time basis. According to Jio, the potential of 5G network, which could be as much as 10 times more efficient than 4G technology, could lead to a safe execution of human-led remote control of autonomous vehicles.
