Jio Fiber set top boxes - Know everything

The launch of Jio Fiber from the Reliance stable may disrupt the broadband market in India even as it impacts DTH operators, cinema halls and over-the-top (OTT) platforms.

The company, which plans to launch the
service on September 5, will offer high-speed Internet broadband services starting from 100 mbps at a price of ₹700 per month, at par with leading broadband providers.

Sources say that Jio’s digital set top box (STB) will be the mother of all STBs, that will offer ultra-high definition entertainment, virtual reality content, multi-player video conferencing, voice-enabled virtual assistants, interactive gaming, home security and smart home solutions.

“Reliance will become a technology company with major focus on content to take on the Amazons and Netflixs of the world,” Sanjiv Bhasin, executive vice president, IIFL Securities told The Hindu. According to Edelweiss, Jio Fiber’s pricing is not as disruptive as was the case of mobility launch assuming basic plan constitutes 100Mbps data connection with 100GB monthly allowance.

Jio’s STB will come bundled with a landline connection and access to Jio’s Internet of things (IoT), and will offer free voice calls for life and unlimited international calling to U.S. and Canada at a price of ₹500 per month.

It will also offer free HD LED TV and digital STBs to customers who opt for Jio Forever annual plans. However, details on the plan, brand of TV and the like are not available. Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML) sees Direct-to-home companies such as Dish TV as the most vulnerable to this bundled offering.
