Reliance Jio has achieved a significant milestone by providing 4G and 5G network connectivity to the Siachen Glacier, the world’s highest battlefield. In collaboration with the Indian Army, Jio became the first telecom operator to extend its services to this extreme region. The deployment took place with support from Army Signallers and marks a major technological achievement for the country.

Using its full-stack 5G technology, Jio successfully installed plug-and-play pre-configured equipment at a forward post in the Karakoram range. The project was made possible through close coordination with the Indian Army, which managed logistics and facilitated airlifting the equipment to the glacier. Despite the harsh environment, with temperatures dropping to -50°C, the initiative ensured reliable connectivity at 16,000 feet.
