The Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, saw Reliance Jio lead in 5G network performance, both in terms of speed and coverage.
According to a report by Ookla, Jio outpaced its competitor, Airtel, with its lightning-fast 5G network, significantly enhancing the user experience for millions of visitors.
Leading the 5G Charge
Reliance Jio’s 5G network exhibited superior performance during the event, with an average download speed of 201.87 Mbps.
This placed Jio far ahead of Airtel, whose average download speed stood at 165.23 Mbps. In fact, Jio’s speed was nearly 36 Mbps faster than Airtel, offering a seamless online experience even amidst the large crowds of the Maha Kumbh.
The report by Ookla also highlighted that Jio’s 5G network availability was twice as high as Airtel’s. Jio boasted a 89.9% network availability in the Mela ground, compared to Airtel’s 42.4%.
This ensured that a larger number of users had access to high-speed internet, making it the preferred network for most attendees.
Uninterrupted Connectivity Amid Heavy Crowds
Despite the heavy influx of pilgrims and the chaotic nature of the event, Jio’s 5G network consistently delivered high-speed internet.
Even though there was a dip in download speed on January 26, from 259.67 Mbps to 151.09 Mbps, the network quickly recovered and resumed its optimal speed of 206.82 Mbps by the end of the event.
During this period, browsing and video streaming saw minimal delays, reflecting the strength and reliability of Jio’s 5G infrastructure.
Jio’s consistent performance at the Maha Kumbh is a testament to its robust infrastructure and commitment to providing superior connectivity across India.
While the event’s dense crowds typically challenge network capacity, Jio’s advanced 5G technology provided uninterrupted services, ensuring visitors could access critical information, share their experiences, and stay connected with their loved ones throughout the Mela.
With the Maha Kumbh Mela serving as one of the largest tests for mobile network performance, Jio has clearly established its 5G capabilities as the benchmark for other telecom operators.
As India’s digital landscape rapidly evolves, Jio’s performance during such high-demand events marks a significant step towards a future where fast, reliable connectivity is accessible to all, no matter the scale or complexity of the situation.
Reliance Jio’s dominance in 5G speed and coverage during the Maha Kumbh Mela has set a new standard for mobile network performance in India.
Its fast, reliable, and widespread network ensured that millions of visitors could stay connected throughout the event, reinforcing Jio’s position as a leader in India’s telecom sector.
