India’s vast rural population has long been excluded from the benefits of high-speed broadband internet. However, recent telecom data from TRAI reveals a significant shift in this trend, with the widespread adoption of 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) now transforming broadband access in rural areas.

As of March 2025, JioAirFiber, the flagship 5G FWA service from Jio, accounts for over 25 lakh rural subscribers across the country. Notably, approximately 44 per cent of Jio’s total 5G FWA subscriber base in India hails from rural regions. Jio stands out as the only telecom operator providing 5G FWA services both in urban centers and in rural landscapes, unlike its competitors, who focus primarily on urban markets. With a commanding 82 per cent market share in the 5G FWA segment, Jio has amassed more than 55.7 lakh JioAirFiber subscribers, outpacing its closest competitor by a wide margin.

In Odisha, the strong foundation of Jio’s True5G standalone network has been key to expanding broadband access. By March 31, 2025, JioAirFiber had crossed 1.5 lakh subscribers in the state — more than five times the number of subscribers with the nearest competitor, according to the latest TRAI data.

The rapid adoption of JioAirFiber, particularly in rural Odisha, highlights the rising demand for reliable high-speed broadband in regions that were previously underserved due to challenges with last-mile connectivity. This growth has proven to be a game-changer for thousands of rural entrepreneurs, small business owners, content creators, working professionals, students, and educators across the state.

JioAirFiber has proven itself as an inclusive solution, overcoming the challenges of last-mile connectivity and extending broadband access to homes and businesses that previously had limited options. By bypassing the need for traditional optical fiber connections, JioAirFiber has provided these communities with uninterrupted high-speed internet, access to over 800 TV channels, 11+ OTT apps, unlimited Wi-Fi, and more.

Today, JioAirFiber is not just a broadband service — it is a digital lifeline for countless individuals and families across rural and semi-urban India. It has emerged as the most reliable high-speed broadband provider in hundreds of towns and thousands of villages throughout Odisha, creating new opportunities and empowering users to thrive in the digital age.
