Jio Became The First Telco To Offer 4G Services Near The Pangong Lake In Ladakh

Reliance Jio has been focused on bringing accessibility to high-speed 4G networks for all Indian citizens. Last year, the company announced the JioPhone Next, the most affordable 4G smartphone, by partnering with Google. Now, Jio has become the first Indian telco to offer high-speed 4G networks in Ladakh’s Pangong Lake region. Check out the details below.

Jio recently built a 4G mobile tower in the Spangmik village near the Pangong Lake region in Ladakh to offer high-speed voice and data services in the region. This marks the first time that a telecom operator has established a 4G service-providing mobile tower in the high-altitude region of Ladakh.

For those unaware, the Pangong Lake, which is near the Spangmik village in Ladakh, is a popular attraction for tourists. Thousands of tourists from India and around the world go to Pangong Lake every year to get a glimpse of its beauty.

Speaking of the achievement, Reliance Jio stated that the development team had to endure harsh weather conditions and difficult terrains while building the 4G mobile tower in the region. “Overcoming the challenge of extremely difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions, Team Jio continues with its efforts of reaching the remotest parts of the Union Territory to ensure that people remain in touch in the areas which otherwise remain cut off from the rest of the country for months,” a Jio official said.
