Airtel, Jio, and Starlink by Elon Musk Enter the Satellite Broadband Race in India

SES, the global joint venture partner of Reliance’s Jio Satellite Communications, is in the process of launching additional satellites into orbit. Jio has partnered with SES to leverage cutting-edge medium-earth orbit satellite technology, capable of delivering gigabit, fiber-like services from space.
