Jio brings 4G mobile telephony to Pangong Lake

Reliance Jio launches 4G voice & data services in Spangmik village near Pangong lake in Ladakh, becoming the first operator to provide 4G mobile connectivity in and around the area. Hon'ble Member of Parliament, Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, inaugurated the Jio Mobile Tower at Spangmik village near Pangong Lake.

This launch is said to boost the economy of the region besides providing seamless connectivity to the tourists and the troops in the area. Jio has been continuously expanding and augmenting its network in Ladakh region with its vision to digitally connect everyone and empower societies in many ways.

Overcoming the challenge of extremely difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions, Team Jio continues with its efforts of reaching the remotest parts of the Union territory to ensure that people remain in-touch in the areas which otherwise remain cut off from the rest of the country for months.

Jio also started its services in Kanji, Urbis & Hanupatta villages in Khalsi Block and Chunglungkha village in Diskit Block in the month of May. Jio already has its 4G footprints in areas like Kargil, Zanskar and Demchok in the region. Jio is also providing JioFiber broadband services in Leh town.
