India’s 5G Breakthrough: How Jio Is Redefining Telecom with AMD

The future of telecommunications is being built in India. Reliance Jio has launched the world’s largest 5G Standalone (SA) network, and it’s not just a matter of scale. Jio is redefining how networks are designed—cloud-native, AI-driven, energy-efficient, and built to evolve.

At AMD, we’re proud to help enable this journey. Our compute foundation supports Jio’s vision of a smarter, more agile, and more sustainable network—one that sets a new benchmark for what telco modernization can deliver.

From Connectivity to a Platform for Innovation

Jio’s 5G/4G Combo Core is more than a network upgrade. Built on cloud-native principles, it unifies services from fixed wireless to IoT and scales seamlessly from crowded metros to remote villages.

At its heart is JioBrain, an AI platform that automates operations, predicts issues before they impact service, and drives real-time optimization. The result: a smarter, more resilient foundation that’s already live at national scale.

Scale and Efficiency Without Tradeoffs

For decades, operators have faced a tradeoff between performance and efficiency. Jio is proving it doesn’t have to be that way. By building on commercial-off-the-shelf infrastructure and advanced compute platforms, Jio is accelerating upgrades, reducing energy use, and avoiding lock-in—all while scaling faster than any operator in history.

Across 110+ edge sites, traffic is processed locally to power applications like industrial automation, immersive media, and AR. With performance-per-watt leadership at the foundation, Jio is handling massive workloads more sustainably and cost-effectively.

Intelligence at the Core

Jio’s network is designed to think for itself. Instead of reacting to problems, its AI-native architecture predicts, prevents, and self-optimizes in real time.

This intelligence extends to Jio’s User Plane Function, which Jio reports has achieved record throughput of 2.8 Tbps per cluster—showcasing how their visionary design, powered by advanced compute, is setting new global benchmarks.

Expanding Access Through Practical Innovation

Jio’s innovation isn’t only about performance—it’s about impact. Its 5G-in-a-Box solution enables rapid enterprise deployments, while its Network Slicing Platform creates customized services with differentiated SLAs for industry applications ranging from IoT to ultra-low latency use cases.

Built for What’s Next

What excites me most is that Jio’s work isn’t limited to today. Their core is already 6G-prepared—cloud-native, AI-driven, and secure. It’s a bold vision for networks that evolve continuously to meet future demands.

At AMD, we’re honored to support that vision. With open ecosystems, workload-optimized compute, and deep co-innovation, we’re helping Jio—and telco leaders worldwide—move faster, scale smarter, and innovate with confidence.
