Reliance Jio has announced the launch of JioTele OS, which it describes as “a next-generation Smart TV operating system crafted to meet the unique needs of Indian audiences.” The operating system is aimed to solve the “limited capabilities” of Indian consumers’ connected TVs.
“With approx. 35 million connected TV households in India, the demand for digital entertainment continues to rise. However, many consumers encounter challenges due to the limited capabilities of their connected TVs, such as restricted customisation, limited access to high-quality regional content, and the absence of seamless, premium user experience,” said the company.
JioTele OS aims to provide Indian households “with a fast, premium, and content-rich Smart TV platform at an affordable price.” Offering AI-powered recommendations, the OS offers seamless integration of global and regional content, support for leading apps, and regular updates. “This initiative seeks to transform entertainment in India, ensuring seamless and accessible viewing for every household,” the company noted.
