During the speech, Ambani and other Jio speakers referred to its 5G SA-based services as "true 5G" to differentiate from Airtel and Vodafone Idea's services, which are building 5G non-standalone (NSA).
Jio is the only Indian service provider which acquired 700MHz spectrum in the recently concluded auction to launch 5G SA.
"Most operators are deploying a version of 5G, called non-standalone 5G, which is essentially a 5G radio signal delivered over an existing 4G infrastructure," said Ambani.
"This non-standalone approach is a hasty way to nominally claim a 5G launch, but it won't deliver the breakthrough improvements in performance and capability possible with 5G."
