Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched Jio True 5G services in Guwahati on Tuesday.
Along with the True 5G services, Jio also launched True 5G-Powered Wi-Fi services at the Maa Kamakhya Temple complex.
Jio demonstrated the benefits of 5G in the field of healthcare through Jio Community Clinic medical kit and the revolutionary AR-VR device, Jio Glass to the chief minister. Through this, 5G can deliver high-quality healthcare to rural and remote areas by turning it into smart healthcare solutions like Tele Radiology, Connected Ambulance, and Clinic in a bag. These benefits will bring transformational changes in the lives of people in Assam.
Speaking at the event, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said “I am happy to launch Jio’s True 5G services in Guwahati. I believe True 5G has the power to democratize the health infrastructure across Assam. The health solution demonstrated today, which is ‘Clinic in the bag’ can aid grassroots health workers and Asha workers. It has a simple design and can wirelessly connect to a suite of medical devices over 5G. Healthcare workers with the help of specialist Doctors can diagnose and treat patients in even the most remote locations of Assam.”
The chief minister added, “My government is fully committed to aiding the speedy roll-out of 5G services in Assam. By implementing 5 G-based health solutions we can fulfill Prime Minister Modi Ji’s vision of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission by building a Digital Health Ecosystem in the state.”
