Low-latency 5G connectivity is crucial for smart homes, minimizing response times for connected devices. Smart speakers become more responsive, and home security gains reactivity. A smart home is not just about convenience but also about security and peace of mind.
"Our extensive Jio Fiber service already serves 10+ million customers, with thousands getting connected each month. With Jio AirFiber, we are expanding our addressable market to 200+ million homes and other premises," Ambani added.

Energy-saving is a key factor behind smart homes. Smart thermostats like Ecobee and Nest offer features like pre-cooling or heating ahead of schedule and reducing power when unused. Lights, plugs, and appliances can be set to turn off when not in use, enhancing efficiency, reducing waste, and saving money.
"Jio is the only company that offers a complete ecosystem of connectivity, devices, support, and value-added services, ensuring nationwide availability and adoption of 5G devices. This makes Jio the undisputed leader in India’s 5G revolution," said Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani.
