Jio Platforms has unveiled a virtual desktop service named JioPC, intended for set-top box users in India. The service provides a cloud-based PC experience through their set-top box, which is either included with home broadband or purchasable separately. Currently in a free trial and limited by peripheral support, users can access applications like LibreOffice and Microsoft Office via browser access. With over 488 million existing users, Jio aims to tap into the considerable market of Indian households with TVs, despite challenges in marketing the service's capabilities.
JioPC represents an innovative approach for Jio Platforms to convert set-top box-enabled TVs into cloud-connected PCs, appealing to a vast audience without typical PC ownership.
With approximately 70% of Indian households owning TVs but only 15% possessing PCs, JioPC opens up a new digital frontier, potentially transforming remote work and education.
