Reliance Jio tops 4G download speed chart; Idea leads in upload speed in August

Jio's national average of 4G download speed was more than double compared to its rival Bharti Airtel, which recorded a download speed of 10 megabits per second (Mbps), according to the data published by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on MySpeed Portal.

Reliance Jio emerged as the fastest 4G operator with an average peak download speed of 22.3 Mbps on its network in August while Idea Cellular registered the highest upload speed in the month, according to a Trai report.

While download speed on Idea 4G network remained flat 6.2 Mbps between July and August, speed on Vodafone improved slightly to 6.7 Mbps in August from 6.4 Mbps in July.
The two companies announced the completion of their merger at August-end.
Idea, however, continued to top the chart in terms of 4G upload speed with a speed of 5.9 Mbps.
The download speed plays an important role when a user watches any video, browse the Internet, access emails; and a good upload speed is required when a user wants to share data like images, videos and any other files through email or social media applications.
Vodafone followed Idea with a slight improvement in upload speed at 5.1 Mbps in August from 5 Mbps in July.
Upload speed on the network of Reliance Jio and Airtel showed improvement to 4.9 Mbps and 4.4 Mbps respectively in August from 4.7 Mbps and 4.3 Mbps respectively in July.
Both Jio and Idea have continued to maintain their leadership in their respective segment since last several months.

Everything you should know about the coronavirus: COVID-19

  What are coronaviruses? SARS-CoV-2 belongs to a family of single-stranded RNA viruses known as coronaviridae, a common type of virus which affects mammals, birds and reptiles. In humans, it commonly causes mild infections, similar to the common cold, and accounts for 10–30% of upper respiratory tract infections in adults. More serious infections are rare, although coronaviruses can cause enteric and neurological disease. The incubation period of a coronavirus varies but is generally up to two weeks. Previous coronavirus outbreaks include  Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS ), first reported in Saudi Arabia in September 2012, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), identified in southern China in 2003. MERS infected around 2,500 people and led to more than 850 deaths while SARS infected more than 8,000 people and resulted in nearly 800 deaths. The case fatality rates for these conditions were 35% and 10%, respectively. SARS-CoV-2 is a new strain of co...

The First Step Towards Responsible AI Needs To Be About People Not Strategy!

Article By Charles Radclyffe:  I was recently consulting for an organisation that was looking to implement a framework to govern the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)  technologies. Like many organisations in their sector, they had been running various ‘lab’ experiments for some time, and had seen positive results; but there was still something holding them back from wholesale investment. A major consulting firm had encouraged them to ‘accelerate’ their innovation by using a framework to govern the roll-out. I asked them where they felt it needed more focus, and they responded saying that it felt somewhat vanilla, a re-hashing of any-old IT project management best practice. “Surely there is something different about AI”, they asked? I couldn’t agree more. There is no magic to AI. Today’s AI is a collection of methodologies that apply extreme reductionism to Big Data in order to elicit patterns, calculate probabilities or make predictions. Wha...
