Jio AirFiber is like a WiFi hotspot or a router but the difference is that it uses high-speed 5G technology instead of fiber optics. The primary benefit of the new technology lies in its portability and ease of use. You just need to purchase the Jio AirFiber unit, then place it at a convenient spot in your house, just plug it in, and turn it on.

Jio AirFiber Booking Process Interested buyers who are eligible for the offers can book the AirFiber by paying a token amount of Rs 100. The company will then contact you for further steps. According to Jio, the installation of the AirFiber will start from October 1. The company will contact the buyer using SMS and WhatsApp. 

The company claims that the device can be just plugged in to make it work. However, according to the company's FAQ section, in order to ensure an ultra-fast connection, an outdoor unit will be installed on your terrace/rooftop or outside your home. This installation service is chargeable at Rs 1,000 but will be waived off in case you opt for an annual plan.
