Jio AirFiber Announced with Speeds Up to 1 Gbps: Pricing, Features, and All You Need to Know

Highlights

• Jio AirFiber, a revolutionary 5G-integrated fixed wireless service, is set to redefine broadband connectivity in India.
• Breaking away from traditional frameworks, AirFiber employs wireless routers to connect directly with Jio towers.
• Boasting expansive coverage, AirFiber isn’t limited by optical cabling infrastructure like its counterpart, Jio Fiber.

Reliance Jio has unveiled its much-anticipated 5G-integrated fixed wireless access (FWA) service, Jio AirFiber, set to be introduced to the Indian market on September 19.

First spotlighted during the 2022 Reliance Industries’ annual general meeting, this avant-garde service promises lightning-fast internet speeds beyond 1 Gbps.

This service claims to rival fiber broadband speeds, including Jio’s very own Jio Fiber, all without leaning on optical wires.

Jio AirFiber: What Is It?

Breaking away from the conventional broadband frameworks, Jio AirFiber’s distinctiveness lies in its utilisation of plug-and-play wireless routers.

Instead of depending on optical fiber cables like its cousin, Jio Fiber, the AirFiber creates a direct liaison with Jio towers through wireless router receivers.

This router, embedded with Wi-Fi functionalities, acts as a beacon, broadcasting 5G-ready internet signals to all tethered gadgets, sans optical fiber wires.

Jio AirFiber vs Jio Fiber

AirFiber’s beauty is its unfettered reach. Unbounded by optical cabling infrastructures like Jio Fiber, AirFiber’s coverage is expansive.

Deployment is a breeze, owing to its plug-in router system while there’s a lot of cable management required with JioFiber.
Additionally, Jio affirms that the AirFiber router will be aligned with the Wi-Fi 6 norms, integrating a robust security firewall for added protection.
