@RKhan21 alright.
Also do you think FWA can be used for Jio Air fiber if it comes with any sort of external antenna support for increased speed?
 
@RKhan21 & everyone else... Guys our knowledge got ripped off 😂...

The image I shared below 👇 (Also in the beginning of this thread)

They are in fact 5G Antennas. They look like RRU's or maybe they are RRU's but either Jio is using them for 5G network either they have changed or whatever but they are 101% being used for 5G now.

Because today when I was taking a walk around the park near my home browsing IBF I did a manual network search and guess what? 👇

Jio 5G is officially enabled here (not for usage though). Walked almost 3-4 KM's to check coverage around my area and found it everywhere. Sometimes with 1% signal & majority of the times the same 35%.

So in conclusion they are in fact 5G Antennas. Because before they were installed there was nothing coming up on network search. After they got installed and even daily I'm checking the towers they haven't installed anything new except those RRU's. Have also confirmed it on our telecom group. So yeah they are in fact 5G radios.

Now nobody knows how Jio is implementing it but that's what it is. Let's see Airtel's move next. Share your thoughts if you want to...

@netomato It's not 5G antenna it's just Samasung LTE RRU that one or two bars 5G signal ur seeing can be from like 3-4kms far tower. I remember during 5G launch announced in IMC I could see 5G signals from 6kms away tower in my area. It's due to no interference even these N78 3500MHz frequency signal which are transmitted in high power seem to travel very far easily
 
Those RRU u marked are there since Jio's 4G launch time they would have just moved it to make space for 5G Massive Mimo antennas on those Monopole towers
 
My friend lives next to the tower and he confirmed it that they have installed them. Also they are brand new & shining as seen in real life. And about 5G signals... I tested it moving everywhere 3-4 KM's it was there. Anyways let's see what it actually was. If anything happens I'll update here. Thanks
 
Check other sides of tower if Massive Mimo is deployed cuz that side pic which u have attached don't have any 5G antennas or RRU's
