Network Description

Bihar Jio, operating in the state of Bihar, India, is a prominent mobile network provider utilizing the Mobile Country Code (MCC) 405, which identifies India, and the Mobile Network Code (MNC) 856. Jio has significantly impacted the Indian telecom landscape since its launch, particularly in regions like Bihar within the Asia & Middle East region. Its aggressive pricing strategies and widespread 4G network rollout have enabled it to acquire a substantial subscriber base, competing directly with other major players such as Airtel and Vodafone Idea (Vi). Access to reliable connectivity through networks like Bihar Jio is increasingly important in developing regions to provide citizens access to services.

Jio’s presence in Bihar, like its nationwide footprint, has been instrumental in democratizing access to internet and mobile services. The company has focused on providing affordable data plans and VoLTE-enabled services. This strategy has catalysed digital inclusion, fostering growth in sectors such as education, e-commerce, and healthcare, especially in previously underserved areas. Similar to the strategies implemented by Jio across India, expansion in Bihar has created an important increase in demand. The widespread use of affordable mobile data allows an increased access to information and also allows citizens to be more easily connected than ever before.
