India Shifts to ‘Fiber’ for Entertainment

  • High speed internet, OTT apps, network reliability makes it attractive
  • Millions of customers migrate from DTH services

In an unprecedented shift, millions of Indians are turning their backs on traditional Direct-To-Home (DTH) services, opting instead for Fiber connections as their primary source of entertainment. Recent data from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) highlights a dramatic downturn in DTH subscriptions, with over 13.20 lakh customers severing ties with their DTH providers in the last quarter alone.

The move towards Fiber connections signifies a profound change in the entertainment consumption habits of the Indian population. Unlike the DTH services, which have been criticized for their susceptibility to service disruptions caused by weather conditions and technical faults, Fiber connections offer a robust and reliable alternative. These connections not only guarantee uninterrupted service but also provide superior performance, making them an attractive option for consumers.

The rise of Over-The-Top (OTT) apps and platforms such as Jio Cinema and JioTV, have played a pivotal role in this transition. These platforms, accessible via Fiber connections, offer a rich array of content including live sports, the latest movies, and popular TV shows, catering to the varied tastes of Indian viewers. This seamless integration of internet and entertainment services through Fiber connections has particularly resonated with the country’s youth, who are at the forefront of adopting these modern entertainment solutions.

Statistics reveal that over 2.23 crore users have already made the switch to Fiber connections, underscoring the growing preference for internet-based entertainment platforms over traditional DTH services. This shift not only marks a significant transformation in how entertainment is consumed in India but also signals the decline of DTH services, once a staple in Indian households.

As the country continues to navigate through this entertainment evolution, the preference for Fiber connections over DTH services is a testament to the changing dynamics of the Indian entertainment landscape, heralding a new era where Fiber is king.

5G Connected Ambulance : Jio’s ‘True 5G’ to revolutionise remote healthcare!

• A robotic arm that will perform ultrasound
• The robot will deliver medicine and food to the patient’s bed

Reliance Jio has introduced a 5G connected ambulance at the Indian Mobile Congress. This is such an ambulance which will digitally deliver all the important information of the patient to the hospital in real time and that too before the patient reaches the hospital. In the event of a medical emergency, the doctor present at the hospital can make all necessary medical arrangements before the patient arrives. You can guess how much the medical industry will change in the future by looking at this ambulance.

The Jio Pavilion will also feature a robotic arm that specializes in X-rays and ultrasounds. In fact, a radiologist or sonographer sitting hundreds of miles away can easily run it through Jio True 5G. This robotic arm will directly connect city-based radiologists with rural patients. For basic medical needs like X-ray and ultrasound, villagers will no longer have to go around the city and the report will also be available at home.

Reliance is launching 5G service on Diwali. Relying on the high speed and low-latency of its True 5G network, Reliance Jio is also working on many technical solutions that will come in handy in everyday life. One of them is Jio 5G Healthcare Automation. Many frontline workers lost their lives in isolation wards of hospitals during the Kovid epidemic. Reliance Jio is working on the technology of 5G controlled robots which will be able to deliver medicines and food to isolation wards as well as other patients.

Due to the use of cloud based 5G controlled robots the margin of error will be zero. With a robot fleet management system, their maintenance and sanitization will also be easier than humans and most importantly, the lives of thousands of frontline workers and patients can be saved.
