Jio 5.5G (5G Advanced) network

Ik. But again, jio has failed in that regards too...it was in kolkata...a pretty crowded place....new market during evenings....ofc they have a lot of micros over there to increase density yet it failed to deliver

Currently in India Jio's SA 5G network's availability time is more than any other network.

Finally I could see 5GA on my Oneplus 13R, which is claimed by Jio and Oneplus as 5.5G or 5G-Advanced.

OnePlus is usually the first to test new things out. I remember back in 2019, I exclusively first broke the news on OTN that Airtel is testing VoWiFi with the OnePlus 7T when it launched.

Airtel testing VoWiFi service on select smartphones

Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) also known as WiFi calling, is a technology similar to VoLTE but where voice rides over WiFi network instead of cellular signals.

Samsung had this for ages....doesn't show up on status bar BUT is 5G-CA is there by phone and network, the metwork test menu on samsung phones shows as n28+n78 aggregation...not huge difference in speeds

Jio themselves has disabled these combinations since launch. They are in sleeping mode till now and will continue to sleep till 2030. So don't expect anything from anyone. Samsung even though S25+ supports it, doesn't have huge impact as secondary carrier is just 10Mhz in 700Mhz. If it's 50 or 100Mhz in some other band, then it would have given us 3Gbps speeds in ideal conditions. NR-CA is available in many countries. Jio is sleeping on mmwave spectrum as well. Let's see whether they deploy till 2030 or not. NR-CA on other countries in following images. Infact upload NR-CA is also activated on T-Mobile network. Verizon after two years on NSA,have finally shifted to SA slowly slowly.

We are not talking about Carrier Aggregation here... And Samsung didn't have this for ages because currently in India, only Oneplus 13 and 13R support this technology in collaboration with Jio. You can search for the respective press releases from oneplus and jio for further details.

Samsung do support this since S23+. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 powered device.

Infact Moto G71 15000 costing device also supports it, but it has been disabled in India by Jio. Extra carrier in Indore has been switched off as well. Don't know what Jio is doing these days.
