The brokerage highlighted that global 5G penetration remains low, especially in low-income regions, creating an opening for cost-efficient alternatives tested at scale in India.

“Jio’s comprehensive tech stack spanning radios, network core, OSS/BSS systems, and FWA solutions is its competitive edge,” the report stated.
