Airfiber utilizes a combination of innovative techniques, including advanced wireless transmission and reception technologies, to deliver lightning-fast internet speeds.

  • Future-proof technology: FWA may be able to reach a larger audience and move more quickly.

Cons:

  • FWA technology concerns: Long-term assessment is necessary to determine real-world performance and reliability.
  • Latency: The AirFibre might not be able to offer a latency on par with the low latency provided by our traditional wired JioFibre connection.
