In a major milestone for global telecommunications, Reliance Jio surpassed T-Mobile to become the world’s largest Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) provider in 2025. With over 20 million FWA subscribers driven by its innovative Jio AirFiber service, Jio's rapid expansion has revolutionised internet access in India. The company’s 5G-powered plug-and-play broadband solution offers affordable connectivity starting at ₹599/month, helping bridge the digital divide in rural and underserved regions. Covering 98% of India's population with its 5G network, Jio’s model of scalable, low-cost FWA delivery is now seen as a blueprint by telecom companies in other developing countries.
