Airtel has introduced its Xstream AirFiber service in India. Touted as India’s first fixed wireless access (FWA) service, Xstream AirFiber is based on Airtel 5G Plus and aims to provide a wireless Wi-Fi experience in all regions, especially in rural areas. Here’s a look at the details.
Airtel Xstream AirFiber: Details
The Airtel Xstream AirFiber is a portable device, which provides wireless internet access. It can be easily installed (even you can do it!) and all you have to do is, buy the Xstream AirFiber device, download the Xstream AirFiber app, and simply pair your devices with it. It can be managed via the app, so, there’s no hassle at all.
It supports enhanced speeds and coverage, thanks to the inbuilt Wi-Fi 6. It is said to provide about 50% higher speeds as compared to the Wi-Fi 5-based routers. Plus, it can be connected to up to 64 devices at the same time and these devices won’t lead to a lot of power consumption.
Commenting on the initiative, Shashwat Sharma, Director of 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.“
The Xstream AirFiber service can be bought for Rs 799 a month, which includes 100Mbps speeds. This plan can be bought for 6 months at Rs 4,794 (discounted price is Rs 4,435). You will be required to pay a refundable security deposit of Rs 2,500 with this.
Currently, the service is active in Delhi and Mumbai but will reach more regions soon. If you live in any of these cities, you can head to the Airtel stores and make the purchase.

Bad net work and bad signal. Waste if money
Airtel network is very good in my rural area but I dont have wifi facility its very bad experience for airtel team .
Don’t buy Airtel fiber bad network in tamilnadu
Bad coverage, in panvel , every place network problem
Nice innovation. Indian rural people my get benefit through this invention.
When it will available in Hyderabad?
Airtel wifi was bad 3 years back and I switched over to Jio. Now Jio has become worse. I now have both. Airtel wifi is better now
I’m in staying out of Chennai
It’s like a 5G Hotspot device or what where we put Sim card to create a wifi Hotspot to connect? or like a JioFi to.
In big cities many options are there. They should extend these services quickly to rural areas. Then city crouds will come down and it will benefit work from home.
Airtel is .not given service at my residesial place Always not internet
Network very bad
Yes correct
Data & calling very bad.last 4 yrs
Airtel`s brand value has depleted a lot, service quality earlier 4-5 years back was commendable. Making profits is their top priority over customer satisfaction
Some places have no Airtel coverage?
What then
No coverage at my residence since last 10 years.
Airtel knows!
plz order and create a YOUTUBE VIDEO for unboxing and testing for airtel xstream airfiber
Jio is focusing on 5G Coverage first
Jio to Airtel – Too soon bro…too soon
Where I live about 40 kms from Chennai we used to get a good signal from Airtel. It looks like the company is no longer interested in providing good service, a real shame as I would prefer to go with Airtel instead I find I’m using Jio.
Don’t worry airtel will get smashed by jio fiber soon.. Because Realiance is showing it’s power in all the industries.
WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE IN BANGALORE…
Its is good addition to the overall Airtel broadband Internet service. I had to forego my X stream fiber based internet when i shifted my residence to a non- optical fiber residence in Mohali and had to fall on uncertain Airfiber service provided by other companies, where the average speed was under 15 mbps.
I hope my city Mohali is amongst the cities with Airtel Air-wifi service soon.
You are claiming that this service is specially for remote areas and at the same time you are launching this service in metropolitan cities which already has a dense web of several networks.
What does it mean?
That’s the joke. I’m glad somebody called it out 😂
The service of 2G, 3G, 4G and even 5G is a dream that couldn’t come true and now airfiber!. I would like to advise your esteem company to kindly fix the 4G and 5G issues where there’s still network/data problem and then introduce new tech. Last but not least Airtel isn’t Airtel anymore like it use to be.
Very innovative product. New device for new India .
Recommended to buy 😊👍
