Reliance Jio Brings 4G & 5G Connectivity to Siachen Glacier

Reliance Jio has collaborated with the Indian Army to bring 4G and 5G connectivity to Siachen Glacier, the world’s highest battlefield, at 16,000 feet in the Karakoram Range.

Temperatures at the Siachen Glacier can plummet to -50°C, making it one of the harshest environments on Earth. Jio’s technology helps soldiers stay connected in extreme conditions.

Jio deployed full-stack 5G technology with pre-configured, plug-and-play equipment, in coordination with the Army Signalers. The setup was thoroughly tested for reliability.

The Indian Army managed logistics, including airlifting the necessary equipment to the glacier, ensuring seamless operation and connectivity in such a challenging region.

This connectivity breakthrough enhances communication for soldiers, improving operational efficiency. It also underscores the growing role of technology in national defense.

Reliance Jio’s initiative in Siachen is part of a broader effort to expand its network in remote Ladakh, providing 4G and 5G services to forward posts and border areas.
