Jio opposes TRAI's 80% network slicing threshold, warns of false congestion alerts

Reliance Jio has asked TRAI to withdraw proposed 5G network slicing restrictions, including mandatory prior notification and an 80% Physical Resource Block utilisation threshold. The operator argues high utilisation does not equal congestion, citing field data showing throughput can rise over 200% with MU-MIMO scheduling.

• Jio says MU-MIMO can boost throughput over 200% at high utilisation
• Airtel also opposes the proposed 21-day advance notification
