‘Will empower every nook and corner of India by Dec 2023’: Mukesh Ambani at launch of 5G tech

-

New Delhi: Industrialist Mukesh Ambani on Saturday announced that his telecom company Reliance Jio will launch 5G services across the country by December 2023. Jio is working to roll out 5G services within this month, he added.

“5G technology is much more than the next generation of connectivity technology. To my mind, it’s foundational technology that unlocks full potential of other 21st century technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Internet of things, Robotics, Blockchain & Metaverse,” Ambani said at the launch of the new telecom technology. The business tycoon was attending the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2022 exhibition at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.

“India may have started late, but we will provide 5G technology to every part of India by December 2023. I am very proud of what we’ve demonstrated so far. To COAI (Cellular Operators Association of India) and DoT (Department of Telecom), I can say we are ready to take leadership and the Indian Mobile Congress should now become the Asian Mobile Congress & Global Mobile Congress,” Ambani said while emphasizing that 5G will eventually bridge the gap between rural and urban India by accelerating digitisation and intelligent data management of sectors such as Agriculture, Services, Trade and Industry. In India, Jio will launch affordable 5G services and cover every nook and corner of the country by December 2023, he added.

The exhibition was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday ahead of the formal launch of 5G mobile telephony services in India. After inaugurating the exhibition at Pragati Maidan, the PM visited the various pavilions set up by different telecom operators and technology providers to get a first-hand experience of what 5G services mean for the country.

He started with Reliance Jio’s stalls, where he witnessed the ‘True 5G’ devices displayed and experienced the use case through Jio Glass. Later, he also visited stalls of Airtel, Vodafone Idea, C-DOT and others.

PM Modi was accompanied by Union Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and billionaires Mukesh Ambani of Reliance, Sunil Bharti Mittal of Bharti Airtel and Kumar Mangalam Birla of Vodafone Idea, while he spent time understanding the indigenous development of end-to-end 5G technology.

Pointing out the immense contribution that 5G services would make to the education sector, Ambani said, “5G and 5G-enabled digital solutions would be able to bring affordable and high-quality education and skill development within the reach of common Indians. This will help young Indians to achieve their full potential by arming them with world class capabilities and competencies so that they can earn more and make India globally competitive.”

He wrapped up his address by lauding the contribution of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in taking the country forward and helping it to make a mark on the global stage. “Your leadership has raised India’s prestige, profile and power globally like never before. In today’s fast-changing world, there will be no stopping a resurgent India from soaring to the top – a place that is rightfully ours. India and Indians can’t settle for anything less,” he said addressing PM Modi.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
