Jio AirFiber: Everything You Need to Know

Jio AirFiber is a new wireless internet service that promises to deliver fiber-like speed over the air using 5G technology. Users can enjoy up to 1Gbps internet speed at home or office by simply plugging in and turning on the device, which resembles a white router with an antenna. The service also offers various features and benefits, such as parental control, Wi-Fi 6 support, seamless integration with Jio set top box for TV viewing, and easy installation and management via an app.

Jio AirFiber Launch Date

Jio AirFiber was announced at the company’s 45th AGM last year, but its availability and pricing details have been kept under wraps. However, a recent report by The Economic Times suggests that it might hit the market in the next few months[^1^][1]. The report cites RIL President Kiran Thomas who expressed his confidence in the wireless internet service. He said that it will “accelerate the company’s connected homes strategy”.

The Jio AirFiber 5G will be launched on the 19th of September, 2023[^2^][2]. This is the same day when we will be celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi and Reliance has a good history of launching new products during festivals. Earlier, the Airtel AirFiber was launched on August 7. With the Jio AirFiber, Airtel will get a competitor in the wireless 5G router market.

Jio AirFiber Price and Plans

Jio’s AirFiber 5G has just been announced and it will be launched on the 19th of September. Till now, the brand has not revealed much about Jio AirFiber plans and it is expected to list the same within a week or two[^2^][2]. However, according to a report by 91mobiles, Jio AirFiber price in India will be 20 percent lesser than Airtel Xstream AirFiber[^3^][3]. The Jio AirFiber is expected to cost between Rs 5,500 to Rs 6,000[^4^][4]. The installation will be done by Jio team.

As for the monthly plans, Jio AirFiber is likely to offer unlimited data, calling, and OTT benefits like its existing fiber net service. The plans are curated for users who want more internet data to play games, watch movies, work from home, or study online. The exact details of the plans are yet to be announced by the company.

Jio AirFiber Speed and Coverage

Jio showcased the device in an advert late last year, which shows 5G speeds of up to 1.5Gbps[^5^][5]. The telco shares that Jio AirFiber uses True 5G to deliver fast, reliable and extensive Wi-Fi coverage. The service can cover up to 1000 square feet on the same floor of a house or an office, thanks to its unique spectrum holding, the company claimed[^5^][5].

Jio AirFiber is based on Jio’s true-5G technology, which is built on SA (standalone) technology. This means that it does not rely on existing 4G infrastructure, unlike Bharti Airtel’s NSA (non-standalone) technology[^5^][5]. This gives Jio an edge over its rival in terms of speed and latency.

How to Set Up and Manage Jio AirFiber

The official Jio website reveals that the only steps required to set up Jio AiFiber is just plugging it in and turning it on. Once turned on, the AiFiber will establish a personal Wi-Fi hotspot at the home, which will help users connect their devices to ultra-high-speed internet using True 5G[^5^][5].

Users will be able to control their Jio AirFiber device with a mobile app. The app will allow users to set parental lock to block certain websites or devices on the network, check data usage and balance, recharge their plans, access customer care and more[^2^][2].

Jio AirFiber will also allow users to seamlessly integrate with Jio set top box for TV viewing. Users can enjoy various low-latency and high-bandwidth applications such as cloud gaming, video conferencing, virtual reality and more with Jio AirFiber[^1^][1].
