Black color portable Airtel AirFiber device without outdoor unit (ODU) requirement

[Bapun]

A new Black color portable Airtel AirFiber device was spotted recently. This is probably the 4th AirFiber unit by Airtel.

It comes with a physical SIM slot.

The interesting thing is, this device has no outdoor unit.

This model doesn't need outdoor unit? Speed and latency is good.
They relaunch this type of device and coping jio airfiber router design .
May be jio will also come with this type of solution.
But market now need more portable solution with inbuilt battery and smaller models.

I think Airtel will launch 5G SA in mid bands / band3 (1800 Mhz) & band1 (2100 Mhz) for FWA Air fiber. So, no need of ODU for 5G signal reception in mid bands.

Airtel re-farms its mid-band spectrum to meet the exponential growth in 5G traffic

I'm very interested in Airtel AirFiber internal-only (no ODU) device too but hope for more than 100 mbps speeds...

On my mobile only I am getting almost 300mbps speed sometimes at my home.
This device would be good option if it works at as a preferred device and give full plan speed even in congestion

Couldn't make out the device manufacturer from the video. Hope it's a good one, the build quality looks sturdy. It's s little bulky for a portable device though if it's being used as a replacement to fixed home broadband it shouldn't be an issue. The larger size may ensure a more stable connection to higher frequency bands.
They should offer a lower bandwidth cheaper plan like the ₹499 40 Mbps plan even on Air fiber rather than keeping the ₹799 100 Mbps as the starting plan.

Latency due to SA network in Mumbai.

I doubt so.

What do you mean by full plan?
