Airtel launches Xstream AirFiber 5G wireless Wi-Fi solution in Delhi and Mumbai

Airtel claims that the demand for Wi-Fi at home has grown exponentially over the last three to four years, and with the Xstream AirFiber initiative, the company claims to offer Wi-Fi-like speeds even in places with no physical fiber network infrastructure. Currently limited to Delhi and Mumbai, the company plans to roll out the same across the country in the coming days.

Xstream AirFiber pricing details

The Airtel Xstream AirFiber costs Rs 799 per month and one can purchase a six-month for Rs 4,435 (including a 7.5 per cent discount) with an additional Rs 2,500 payment as the security deposit for the hardware component. Right now, it’s unclear if Airtel is offering unlimited data or if there is a cap, similar to the broadband plans.

While Airtel is the first company to officially launch a 5G-based fixed wireless access service, Jio also announced a similar service called Jio AirFiber a few months ago, which also claims to offer Gigabit speed internet access using a 5G network. However, as of now, there is no information on either pricing or the official launch date of Jio AirFiber.

Besides, both Airtel and Jio currently offer unlimited 5G network access to their subscribers, who are on a specific recharge plan. Check out some of the most popular prepaid recharge plans from Airtel and Jio that offers unlimited 5G access across the country.
