Airtel launches 5G FWA in Delhi and Mumbai

Airtel launched its 5G Xstream AirFiber fixed wireless access (FWA) service for consumers in Delhi and Mumbai.

Xstream AirFiber is a plug-and-play device with in-built Wi-Fi 6 technology that will offer wide indoor coverage and can simultaneously connect up to 64 devices.

The Airtel Xstream AirFiber service is available on 799 plan, which offers up to 100Mbps speed. The plan can be availed for a duration of six months with a one-time refundable security deposit of Rs.2500.

Airtel notes that currently only 34 million homes in India are connected by fiber.

Commenting on the initiative, Shashwat Sharma, Director – Consumer Business Bharti Airtel,said, “India has seen the rapid growth of home broadband but there still remain areas with no access to hi-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.”
