Jio AirFiber to launch in India soon? Here's all you may want to know about it

Reliance is all set to launch a new wireless internet service Jio AirFiber sometime sooner. It was announced during Reliance's 45th AGM last year. However, the pricing and availability was something the company did not put much light on.

Now, we know the Jio AirFiber is gearing up for a launch, apparently in a few months. RIL President Kiran Thomas also expressed great enthusiasm for this wireless internet service, saying that it will "accelerate the company's connected homes strategy."

It is said to compete with the likes of Airtel, BSNL and other major internet providers. Jio AirFiber utilizes Jio's genuine 5G technology established on standalone (SA) technology, setting it apart from Bharti Airtel's non-standalone (NSA) technology, which depends on existing 4G infrastructure. According to Jio, this confers a competitive advantage in terms of both speed and reliability.


During the India Mobile Congress which took place last year, Jio unveiled AirFiber on top of launching 5G services in India. It was inaugurated by PM Modi and attended by several telco giant heads.

Ambani-led telco giant further claims to deliver speed as high as 1 Gbps, with support for Wi-Fi 6 technology. Additionally, it can be integrated with Jio set-top boxes with dedicated in-app control.

Jio AirFiber launch date

Reliance-led Jio is said to deliver equivalent speed on its cellular 5G network as well. Speaking of the launch date, there is no official word regarding a promising date from the telco giant yet, but it is expected to disrupt the market soon.
