Airtel Xstream Fiber Plus (Airtel Xstream Fiber Mesh)

[Socio]

And extended wifi coverage ?

Probably a Mesh WiFi solution? There’s no info on it anywhere except for one or two news reports. Could be something akin to Jio’s offering.

Folks around here , please share your expertise
What is it that airtel is trying to do ?

Extend using devices = mesh. Jio already has announced their own mesh solutions so seems logical Airtel would announce it as well.

Thanks for info !
Will it be free or chargeable ?

 

[Sushubh]

we would find out soon enough. they might offer the extenders for free for people on high end plans. but these devices cost a lot of money so it seems unlikely because it would just increase their logistics costs unless they charge people for a full year in advance.

I guess they probably will lend out the mesh if you pay in advance for long duration (a year?) higher end plans
Seems like the most logical idea
I doubt many would be willing to invest in a mesh system in one go, it's rather expensive

plus i assume you would not own the mesh. plus it would be probably from some unknown chinese brand.
