The company claims that the new Jio WiFi Mesh technology will allow users to experience the service through their homes. Currently, the device is available only in white colour option.

The new offering will help Reliance Jio compete with Airtel’s recently launched mesh technology which is known as ‘Airtel Xstream Fiber Mesh.’ Airtel has launched the service in collaboration with American networking hardware company Linksys in an effort to provide a mesh system with three devices that is said to cover 3,500 square feet area. This is significantly higher compared to Jio which is said to cover around 1,000 sq feet area. Airtel is offering its Fiber Plus Mesh plan that comes at ₹24,999 annually. With the help of this service, users will be able to get internet connectivity throughout selected areas which is otherwise restricted with a single router.

Leading Broadband Internet Service provider Hathway has also been offering a Wi-Fi Mesh service to its users since 2018. However, the service is only available for users who choose to go for broadband plans that carry 300 Mbps speeds for 6 or 12 months.
