Airtel, one of the country’s leading telecom providers, has brought a one-step solution to the areas where fiber access is almost difficult to setup by introducing the XStream AirFiber FWA in India, becoming the first company to offer 5G FWA(Fixed Wireless Access) service within the country.
Here’s more about it.
Airtel XStream AirFiber FWA Launched in India
The newly launched XStream AirFiber FWA from Airtel is a plug-and-play device that will be able to offer an internet speed of upto 100 Mbps. The device supports Wi-Fi 6 technology and will be able to connect with 64 devices at the same time. At the moment, the XStream AirFiber FWA is only available in the cities of Delhi and Mumbai, however, Sunil Mittal, the founder and chairperson of Bharti Airtel, has confirmed that it will be made available throughout the country in the coming few months.
Now speaking about the cost, customers can get Airtel’s XStream AirFiber FWA and access its service by paying a refundable security deposit of Rs. 2,500 along with a monthly payment of Rs. 799. A 7.5% discount can also be availed by its customers on purchasing the half-yearly subscription. For users who purchase the half-yearly plan, all they will have to pay is Rs. 4,435 for six months, instead of Rs. 4,794.
Airtel has stated that over the past 3 or 4 years, the need for having a Wi-Fi connection at home has become a necessity and only 34 million families in India were only able to have a fast Wi-Fi connection at their homes due to fiber inaccessibility in particular regions or localities. Airtel’s Xstream AirFiber will be able to bridge this gap and offer everyone faster and smoother Wi-Fi connectivity without the need to draw fiber cables.
