Monthly subscription for India's debut AI-enhanced cloud PC, JioPC, now offered at Rs. 400
Reliance Jio Launches Affordable Cloud-Based Virtual Desktop Solution: JioPC
Reliance Jio, India's leading digital services provider, has introduced a new offering – JioPC, a cloud-based virtual desktop solution. This revolutionary service transforms any compatible TV screen connected to a Jio Set-Top Box into a fully functional PC environment.
Key Features of JioPC
JioPC operates on a cloud infrastructure, eliminating the need for high-end hardware. Users just require a Jio Set-Top Box, a compatible display (TV or monitor with HDMI), a keyboard, and a mouse.
The service offers flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing starting at Rs 400 per month, with no annual or cancellation fees. Plans provide different storage and computing capacities to suit users’ needs.
Promising the equivalent computing power of a Rs 50,000 PC, JioPC features a quad-core processor, 8GB RAM, and 100 GB to 512 GB of cloud storage depending on the plan. Users benefit from instant boot-up and automatic updates courtesy of the cloud environment.
JioPC is an AI-ready platform that includes AI tools integrated into the system, enabling creative work, productivity, and remote learning applications. The service is bundled with popular productivity and creative applications, including complimentary access to Adobe Express and other essential apps.
Benefits of JioPC
JioPC offers cost-effective computing for students, professionals, and small businesses, especially in households with low PC penetration. The service eliminates hardware depreciation, repairs, or updates, as the platform is maintained entirely by Jio.
With JioPC, users can access their workspace anywhere with an active Jio Set-Top Box and broadband connection, making remote work and learning more feasible. The service converts a basic TV into a high-performance computer, reducing entry barriers for digital inclusion in India’s growing digital economy.
New users receive a free one-month trial, and the ability to upgrade computing power on demand without long-term contracts.
JioPC for Digital Inclusion
JioPC is designed to serve students, working professionals, home users, and small businesses. The system boots in seconds and provides an Ubuntu-based environment. The storage can be upgraded to 512GB on premium plans.
The launch of JioPC signals Reliance Jio's intent to bridge digital gaps throughout India, making powerful computing more accessible for millions. Subscriptions for JioPC start at Rs. 400 a month with unlimited access. Long-term plans include added value, such as three free months with the annual pack at Rs. 4,599.
Creative professionals can leverage the integrated Adobe and AI tools in JioPC for content creation. However, at present, JioPC does not support external hardware like printers or webcams.
A single monthly subscription grants access to a high-spec virtual machine with 4 CPUs, 8GB RAM, and 100GB cloud storage. The setup for JioPC is simple, requiring users to launch the JioPC app on their STB, connect a mouse and keyboard, log in, and begin working.
Ideal for digital learning, programming, or document work due to its accessibility, speed, and security, JioPC is set to revolutionise the way Indians access computing services.
Technology and data-and-cloud-computing are integral components of the JioPC, a new offering by Reliance Jio. This cloud-based virtual desktop solution transforms any compatible TV screen into a fully functional PC environment, leveraging technology to offer an AI-ready platform for creative work, productivity, and remote learning applications.
