'Network slicing is no longer just a concept — it's live, nationwide, and powering real-world applications. With Jio Platforms' robust 5G SA Core and Network Slicing Platform (NSP), 10 active network slices are now in production, optimised for scale, performance, and reliability,' Bhatnagar said in a post on professional social networking platform LinkedIn.
These 5G network slices, he said, are purpose-built for enterprise, the Internet of Things (IoT), gaming, Jio's fixed wireless access (FWA) service JioAirFiber, and mission-critical services.
'Production-grade and battle-tested for real-world traffic,' the top executive said, adding that network slices will deliver service level agreement (SLA)-driven 5G experiences to customers.
Reliance Jio Infocomm
, the country's top telecom operator, comprises the bulk of JPL's operations.
Network slicing is a new service enabled by 5G SA networks. It allows telecom carriers to create multiple virtual network slices that operate across the same physical network. Each slice is isolated from other network traffic to give dedicated performance and eliminate the risk of network congestion, with the features of the slice tailored to the use case requirements.
Network slicing is seen as a major application of the latest-generation networks, enabling telcos to create differentiated revenue streams across multiple industry verticals. Globally, telcos are either trialling the technology with their equipment vendor partners, or have deployed it for certain scenarios.
Jio, in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2026 (Q1FY26), crossed the 200 million 5G subscribers milestone and 20 million home connections.

NITK launches IoT-enabled Smart Laundry service for hostel students
Mangaluru: The laundry services at NITK have turned smart. The institution launched a Smart Laundry at a few of the NITK hostels. The facility is provided and maintained by Haier Smart Solutions. Specially designed for college students, it offers unique features that ensure a more convenient and economical in-campus washing experience. Pushparaj Shetty D, professor in-charge (hostels), NITK Surathkal, said that it is backed by the Internet of Things (IoT). Fully automated, each washing machine can be managed by students through an app. They can use their mobile phones to reserve, monitor, schedule, and pay at their convenience. Currently, this facility is available in four hostels, namely Everest, Himalaya, Kailash, and Godavari, on a trial basis. Earlier, the laundry was done by a service provider where each dress was charged. However, Shetty said this new facility is more affordable compared to traditional laundry services. He said the use of the service for each washing session costs Rs 30, and the capacity of the commercial washing machine is 10 kg. "Currently, it is running on a trial basis. There are a total of 25 washing machines installed in four blocks out of a total of 16 hostel blocks. Based on the response received, we will extend the services to other hostels in the coming days," said Shetty, adding that it will benefit students a lot. The facility was inaugurated by KV Gangadharan, dean, planning and development, in the presence of Prof Pavan Kumar, dean, student welfare (in-charge). The inaugural event witnessed the participation of the council of wardens, faculty members, hostel staff, supervisors, and student representatives. A live demonstration of the use of the machine was conducted by Vighnesh from Haier Group, highlighting the features and proper use of it.

Every company that is touched by Mukesh Ambani reaches new heights. In a major move, Ambani-led Reliance Industries is planning to launch the biggest IPO in India. The company is mulling introducing its telecom unit, Jio Infocomm, to the public. As per a report by Bloomberg, RIL is gearing up to raise Rs 52,200 crore by selling a five percent stake in the company. The size of the IPO eclipses all domestic IPO records.

The Biggest IPO In India Currently, the news of Jio IPO is making headlines all over and is the talk of the town, but do you know which has been the largest IPO in the country so far? Well, it was the LIC public offering. However, in 2014, Hyundai Motor India became the biggest IPO with its Rs 28,000 crore IPO. The auto company holds the largest on record. With the biggest Jio's mammoth IPO plan's blueprint is getting ready, it could set new record in India by becoming the biggest IPO India has ever seen. SEBI Urged To Relax 25% Minimum Public Shareholding Rule The Bloomberg report states that the Mukesh Ambani company has initiated informal talks with the regulatory body of the capital markets, requesting an exemption from the rule that mandates all Indian companies to maintain a minimum shareholding of 25 percent. RIL has expressed worries that the local market might lack the capacity to handle a larger float, which has led to a request for a waiver. According to the report, the IPO could potentially be launched as soon as next year, although the company has not made any formal announcement regarding this matter yet. Jio Also known as Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited, Jio is one of the major company that dominates the Indian telecom sector. It is the company under Reliance Industries. Launched in 2016, it changed the telecom sector with affordable data and free voice calls. Jio in no time gained millions of users, making it one of India's largest and most influential telecom operators.
