With an increasing demand for more 4G towers, Jio Bihar-Jharkhand has been further expanding its 4G network in 2021, connecting several hitherto unconnected regions. Currently, Jio has over 20,000 true 4G network sites in both the states, the largest 4G footprint by any digital service provider.
 
Reliance Jio acquired a total of 488.35MHz spectrum in 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2300MHz bands for 22 circles in the recent spectrum auction at a cost of Rs.57,123 crores for a period of 20 years.

Jio currently has over 427 million subscribers and with the enhanced spectrum footprint, RJIL will have a further robust network capacity to service its new as well as existing users. This enhancement will also help in adding the next 300 million users that will move to digital services and towards a transition to 5G services too.(UNI)
