Jio AirFiber is a device that will connect users to the Internet without any wire, and one can plug it anywhere to get 5G connectivity. Jio said the purpose of launching JioAirFibre is to connect users who are without home broadband due to the complexities and delays involved in extending optical-fiber to their premises, s per newindianexpress.
“Our extensive fiber-to-the-home service, JioFiber, already serves over 10 million customers, with hundreds of thousands more getting connected each month. But there are still millions of homes and small businesses to be connected at a rapid pace. With JioAirFiber, the company is expanding its addressable market to rapidly cover every home in the country with similar quality of service.
“JioAirFiber will enable millions of homes with world-class digital entertainment, smart home services and broadband via its solutions across education, health, surveillance and smart home,” said Akash Ambani, Chairman, Reliance Jio Infocomm.
Jio's optical fiber infrastructure currently stretches over 1.5 million kilometers across India. Jio's optical-fiber presence puts it close to over 200 million premises. JioAirfiber, according to the company, is an integrated end-to-end solution for home entertainment, smart home services, and high-speed broadband. The company has announced two FWA plans: AirFiber and AirFiber Max, with prices starting at '599 and speeds of 30Mbps.
Users will have access to over 550 digital channels and 14 over-the-top (OTT) applications, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, and JioCinema Premium. All JioAirFiber plans are available for six and twelve months, with JioAirFiber Max initially available only in certain areas.
