Reliance Jio has sought permission from the government for 5G testing. For this, he himself has developed technology and design.
According to sources, if this test is successful, then the work of designing and manufacturing the equipment can be given to other companies.
For this, the company has decided to include Chinese giants Huawei Technologies, Ericsson and Nokia Networks along with Samsung.
Earlier, the company believed in Samsung. Samsung itself is supplying devices for 4G services to Jio. Samsung got this opportunity even after aggressive bidding and stiff competition from Chinese companies.
A spokesperson for Reliance-Geo declined to comment. However, this step of Reliance is very important because foreign companies have always dominated the design and manufacturing of telecom equipment.
Most of the equipment has been imported from abroad. The government is also emphasizing on developing local capacity in design and manufacturing of telecom equipment.
In 2018, TRAI gave suggestions to encourage local telecom equipment manufacturers.

The company was quietly developing research and development capabilities
Reliance has been quietly developing research and development design and technology capabilities for some time. Rancore Technologies, a subsidiary of Reliance Industries, was working on the development of core software. To increase the company's capabilities in the area of 5G and IoT, it bought American company Radisys for $ 67 million.
