With AI-Powered Networks, Jio and Airtel Expand Home Broadband with 5G Fixed Wireless Access

In India, Jio and Airtel are expanding 5G Fixed Wireless Access services, with AI-driven networks to boost home broadband adoption.

The indian telecom sector is now experiencing a momentum with 5G Fixed Wireless Access, encouraging two telecom giants Airtel and Jio into a hot topic again. Jio AirFiber new cities, Airtel Xstream AirFiber expansion, and 5G home internet in India are topics of discussion now. The terms are the most talked-about terms all over India. 

Both telecom operators are going to expand their service to tier-1 and tier-2 cities, as most of the users lack proper network services, and some of them have less access to traditional fibre broadband services. The users from those areas require faster deployment for home and business setup, which is why they mentioned several times that faster network access is required over there. Talking about Reliance Jio’s AirFiber, it has already reached several locations with their new Jio AirFiber plans, which are already challenging the traditional wired network services. Now, Xstream AirFiber from Airtel is in the field now they are also pushing their services in the Indian market rapidly with pocket-friendly plans. Both are planning to serve the last-mile connectivity in India. Also, we have seen the Government's involvement in this matter for over a year. That's the reason both the telecom giants are preparing for the fixed wireless network system with Jio AirFiber and Airtel Xstream AirFiber. Looks like the need for traditional wired connections will be gone in a few days, and we will all experience an all-new wireless broadband system nationwide.   

Wireless broadband network services are in demand now as most people are shifting to a hybrid work culture. As well as the use for smart home devices, online gaming, and OTT streaming require good and stable data now. The need for India’s wireless connection in top now at 2025, especially in semi-urban regions, where depending on a wired network is both expensive and comes with several issues. As well as wired connection comes with some problems with wires. It can't be used in some areas where it is not possible to set up the wire to get a broadband connection. With some natural calamities and other issues, wires could be harmed, and the network connection will be impacted as that. With the new wireless network, these problems will be gone. Users can get a connection anywhere in India now. It is easy to set up and will receive high-speed speed good, and stable data after the installation is done.  

Experts of the telecom industry also mentioned that the use of AI and cloud-native cores is helping operators manage traffic spikes, personalise services, and improve latency. The India Government is also now supporting the operators by making the spectrum available and indigenous equipment manufacturing, which is speeding up the process of manufacturing and deployment times. Startups in the network industry are also connecting with the carriers to make mmWave backhaul, Wi-Fi 7 routers strong enough. All together are targeting and working on the same goal to make faster 5G Fixed Wireless Access services. The most important thing is about the pricing, wired broadband users must know that the unlimited package speed of at least 40 Mbps from any internet provider starts with a price of 472 rupees, with all the taxes in India. Here on Jio's website, we can see that the plan of Jio AirFiber starts with 399 rupees per month without GST. It means this will cost almost the same or less than AirFiber, and we will get some benefits too. That's the reason people are slightly moving towards AirFiber systems. One most popular plan of AirFibers start with more than 600 rupees per month in India, which also covers subscription to some OTT platforms. But the basic plan starts with the one that I mentioned earlier in this paragraph. 

Now the consumers are having a great experience to see all the expected competitions of two telecom operators with pricing, enterprise-grade plans, and bundled OTT content. Both Jio and Airtel are aiming to convert the 4G broadband consumers to 5G wireless networks now. So they have to introduce new sustainable plans for the users. With all this internet is experiencing some trending searches on “wireless fibre alternative,” “5G broadband India,” and “AI telecom infrastructure”. Both consumers and operators are excited about the conversion of Wired broadband to Fixed Wireless services.
