Reliance Jio deploys trusted vendors for 5G & US cyber diplomat appreciates. “With regard to Reliance Jio, we’re pleased to hear that they’re using trusted vendors. There’s nothing mystical about 5G technology. It has the same types of components that 4G technology has; it’s just evolved to another level. So there’s a way that the indigenous production could occur in India,” said Robert L. Strayer, deputy assistant secretary for cyber and international communications. And information policy, Bureau of Economic and Business affairs, Department of State.
This statement of Strayer proves that he.The top cyber diplomat of the US is concerned with the use of only “trusted vendors” in 5G development. He also urges the global telecom operators to either follow Reliance Jio’s strategy of developing 5G solutions or use only “trusted vendors” in their 5G deployments.
The United States is also criticizing the Chinese telecom company, Huawei and is warning against the after effects of using untrusted Chinese components in 5G development.
Apart from this, Reliance last week said that Jio plans to offer its 5G technology to other telecom companies.
“This Made-in-India 5G solution will be ready for trials as soon as 5G spectrum is available and can be ready for field deployment next year,” said RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani at the company’s annual general meeting on Wednesday, 15 July 2020. “Because of Jio’s converged, all-IP network architecture, we can easily upgrade our 4G network to 5G. Once Jio’s 5G solution is proven at India-scale, Jio Platforms would be well positioned to be an exporter of 5G solutions to other telecom operators globally, as a complete managed service”, he added.
RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani also insisted on avoiding untrusted vendors and said,“I encourage all countries to secure their communication networks by prohibiting untrusted vendors, thereby increasing the attractiveness of their digital infrastructure to outside investment. Investors are more inclined to invest in countries that are secure from interference or disruption by vendors that could be subject to the control of authoritarian regimes.”
