Airtel Xstream AirFiber Launched in India: 5G Made More Accessible

With the Airtel Xstream AirFiber launch, it would be easier for all users to enjoy high internet speeds in the comfort of their homes. Usually, it’s difficult for everyone to get wired internet connections at their place for one or more reasons. This difficulty gets solved by the Airtel Xstream AirFiber 5G. It is a plug-and-play device based on the newer Wi-Fi 6 technology. The wireless broadband connection will also offer better indoor range and compatibility with up to 64 devices at a time. Our dimer friend Jarvis has explained how the Airtel Xstream AirFiber works in more detail here.

For the launch of the Airtel Xstream AirFiber, the director of Bharti Airtel, Mr. Shashwat Sharma, said “India has seen the rapid growth of home broadband but there still remain areas with no access to high-speed internet at home due to the physical challenges of laying fiber in a country the size of India. While fiber to the home will always define the best experience of Wi-Fi at home, AirFiber helps bridge the experience gap for everyone else. Today, we are delighted to launch Xstream AirFiber for consumers in Delhi and Mumbai with a pan-India rollout planned soon.

would have been great if existing SIM and plan could be used in this device

"7. What are the connection plans available in Airtel Xstream AirFiber?

Airtel Xstream Fiber comes with a 6 month plan which allows users to enjoy 100Mbps speeds at Rs. 4,435 (exclusive of GST). There is also a one-time refundable security deposit of Rs. 2500 on the device."

So speed will be restricted to 100 Mbps

But using an existing SIM card and plan might hinder the internet speed, I believe. Broadband internet has always been better and faster and there's a reason why people choose Fiber connection over just using a small router, like Jio's portable router, or hotspot from their other devices.

my existing Airtel Fiber shows 5G options too, but don't see any difference in the speed if I select that wifi option.

So this is similar to a phone with tethering ? But with a better device and plans ?

Yes
I'd say it's more like combining a fiber broadband's internet speeds with a smartphone's hotspot connectivity.

What will happen if I buy it and take it to an area where there is no 5g coverage?

The result will be the same as a person going to space looking for oxygen, without oxygen.

@Sahil_Jain no. I live in Bangalore. I think it may expand to here in another 6 months.

I think it will get there sooner since Bangalore is an IT Hub.
