JioAirFiber delivers high-speed, fiber-like connectivity of up to 1 Gbps through a Fixed Wireless Access solution, eliminating the need for wires.

JioAirFiber will enable millions of homes with world-class digital entertainment, smart home services and broadband, through its solutions across education, health, surveillance and smart home”, the chairman said.
