One of India’s largest telecom operators, Reliance Jio, conducted trials of immersive high-definition virtual reality meeting platform using the indigenously developed 5G NR radio and 5G core network (5GCN). 5G’s high speed and low latency would foster AR/VR applications, smart factories, Industry 4.0, 5G smart cities, improved surveillance among others.
“By using Jio’s indigenous 5G NR radio and 5GCN, we have trialed an immersive high definition VR experience. This trial leveraged both eMBB and low latency capabilities of 5G to deliver the end-user experience. It is truly exciting to experience the possibilities that come to life using 5G and the potential transformation that is possible!” said Aayush Bhatnagar, Senior Vice President at Jio Platforms.
During the 5G VR trial, Jio showcased HD multi-party VR video calling, with some of the participants physically wearing the VR headsets while others joined from the cloud. The trial also featured collaborative screen sharing and presentations across VR participants and white-boarding/sketching using VR control and live sharing.
Jio boasts of a homegrown 5G stack which could also potentially be supplied to foreign markets after proving its efficacy at a pan-India scale. The trials are being conducted in Navi Mumbai, where the network also accomplished end-to-end network slicing on its indigenous 5G standalone core.
