Reliance Jio GigaFiber is set to bring a broadband-landline-TV combo service at an as low monthly charge as Rs. 600, according to a media report. Jio GigaFiber is also reported to offer the option to connect at least 40 devices to its smart home network for up to Rs. 1,000. The Mumbai-based telco launched Jio GigaFiber broadband service in August last year, but it is currently available in select regions. Subscribers are required to pay a sum of Rs. 4,500 as a one-time security deposit.
At the present stage, Jio GigaFiber is available under a preview offer for consumers with 100GB of data access every month at a speed of 100Mbps. A report by Mint, citing a person familiar with the development, however, says that Reliance Jio is in plans to expand Jio GigaFiber with a broadband-landline-TV combo at Rs. 600 a month. Under the new service, it is said that the operator will offer unlimited voice calls and 600 TV channels alongside the existing 100Mbps broadband service.
The landline and television services to Jio GigaFiber consumers are said to be available in the next three months, and these will remain free for about a year — just like the existing broadband service.

Reliance Jio is reported to power the combo service through an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) router. This is likely to be the same box router that the company is giving to its initial broadband subscribers. Moreover, the router is said to connect 40-45 devices, including mobile phones, smart TVs, laptops, and connected devices.
To add 40 additional devices to the smart home network created by Jio GigaFiber, consumers are said to pay up to Rs. 1,000. It is also said that the network would also enable storing CCTV footage and other data on the cloud.
The latest report corroborates the development of a triple play plan that was spotted last month to offer access to Jio GigaFiber, Jio Home TV, and Jio Apps in a single monthly package. Also, it is worth pointing out that the arrival of the combo service to counter what has so far been offered by broadband players in India was first reported in May last year.

Xiaomi last year launched the Mi TV range in India, which has since become one of the most successful affordable TV ranges in the country. Although the first product to launch was the Mi TV 4 with a 55-inch 4K screen and smart connectivity, the company has since launched more affordable products as well. The company has now revealed its latest products in China, a new range of Mi TVs with a slim-frame design. The new TVs in the E-series and Mi Art-series range in size from 32 inches to 65 inches.
The new TV range has been teased on Chinese social media portal Weibo by Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun. The range has been teased for its slim frame and full-screen design, which is similar to the design language on the Xiaomi Mi MIX range of smartphones. The post explains that this is possible because of a new design that has the screen on the middle frame, rather than encased within the outer frame.
The post also teases the pricing of the range, with the 32-inch Mi E32A TV expected to retail at CNY 1,099 (approximately Rs. 11,400) in China. Other sizes for the new range include 43-inch Mi E43A TV at CNY 1,999 (approximately Rs. 20,700), 55-inch Mi E55C TV at CNY 2,999 (approximately Rs. 31,100), and 65-inch Mi E65A TV at CNY 3,999 (approximately Rs. 41,500). The 32-inch variant has an HD resolution, the 43-inch variant has a full-HD resolution, while the 55-inch and 65-inch variants have 4K resolutions with HDR support.
All of the E-series TVs are smart TVs, with Xiaomi’s Patchwall OS interface. They also have Dolby Audio and DTS HD tuning for sound, up to 16W of sound output, up to 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, 1.5GHz processor, and connectivity through Wi-Fi and Ethernet. The TVs also come with Bluetooth remotes.
Xiaomi has also launched the Mi Art TV or Mi Mural TV, which comes in a single 65-inch size option and is priced at 6,999 Yuan (approximately Rs. 72,700). The new 4K HDR TV is similar to the Samsung The Frame TV, with an art mode that shows pictures and artwork when the TV isn’t in use. The TV also has a 1.8GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of inbuilt storage, 24W of sound output, and runs Patchwall OS.
Xiaomi earlier this year launched a new range of ‘Pro’ TVs in India, along with the Rs. 4,999 Xiaomi Mi Soundbar, which is one of the most affordable speakers of its kind in the country. It isn’t clear when these new TVs will be coming to India, but it’s possible that Xiaomi will launch its E-series in the coming months.
