Unlike Airtel’s Xstream AirFiber, the Jio AirFiber is reported to be more readily available.

Mukesh Ambani, the Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries Limited, officially announced that the Jio AirFiber will be having its launch this month on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi(19 September 2023).

With just three days more until its launch, here are some of its features and how it will be different from the brand’s JioFiber.

Jio AirFiber Launching on 19th September

The soon-to-be-launched Jio AirFiber is a portable wireless device that will be able to offer its users Jio’s True 5G services at a speed of 1.5Gbps. Apart from this, the device will also have features like parental controls, Wi-Fi 6 support, and an integrated security firewall.

So what is the difference between Jio AirFiber and JioFiber?

The first thing is that the JioFiber uses fiber optic cables, whereas the upcoming Jio AirFibre is a wireless device. The speed of the internet that will be offered on the Jio AirFibre is 1.5Gbps and is faster than the internet speed offered via the JioFiber(1Gbps).

Jio’s AirFiber can also be installed anywhere without the limitations caused due to any kind of infrastructural issues while drawing fibre optic cables is mandatory to set up JioFiber. As the Jio AirFiber is a plug-and-play device, it can be easily ported and transported and again be set up easily, but this is not the case for the JioFiber. Once it is set up, it is fixed and permanent.

Finally, about the cost, the Jio AirFiber will cost more than what is paid for JioFiber. It is expected to be made available at a total cost of around Rs. 6,000.

Starlink which is available in nearly 32 countries all across the world can soon come to India. According to the recent report by the New Indian Express, officials close to the matter revealed that the DoT officials are likely to meet on September 20, 2023, to decide on awarding the Global Mobile Personal Communication by Satellite (GMPCS) license to Starlink to operate in the country. Starlink applied for the license last year that will grant permission to offer satellite communication in the licensed areas.

Starlink keen to start its operation in India began taking pre-orders in 2021 even before it secured a license. However later it had to refund money to people after DoT warned the company against taking orders before receiving a licence.

After Airtel-backed OneWeb and Jio’s satellite arm, Jio Space Technology, Starlink is the third company to apply for this license. After receiving this license Starlink will require the satellite spectrum from DoT’s wireless planning and coordination.

As per the statement made by the officials to the New Indian Express, they are also looking forward to bringing OTT communication apps like WhatApps, Signal, and Telegram into the licensing regime. This step would ensure safety in the future because “If these OTT players are under the licensing regime, they are obliged to follow government directions. In case of any incidents like in Nuh or Manipur, we could have directed these apps to stop their services without having to disconnect entire internet services,” the official said.
