management provides reliable, affordable wired and wireless
networking.
CEDIA Expo 2017 – Control4 Corporation (NASDAQ: CTRL), a
leading global provider of smart home solutions, today announces
the immediate availability of the Pakedge WR-1 with BakPak® Lite, a
high-performance integrated network router and wireless access
point with built-in cloud-based network management. Pakedge
provides robust networking capability for connected homes, and at
$300 U.S. MSRP, the WR-1 with BakPak management software enables
Control4 Dealers to provide a new consumer segment the benefits of
a monitored, intelligent home network.
The WR-1 implements new 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi technology,
providing solid reliability and throughput to support the growing
number of connected devices in homes. Included on the WR-1, BakPak
Lite provides integrators the ability to proactively manage a
customer’s home network by delivering real-time visibility of
network health and remote diagnostics for the wireless router,
enabling troubleshooting options to mitigate downtime and reduce
the costs of on-site service calls.
“Network stability and performance are fundamental requirements
for every connected home – regardless of its size or scope,” said
Paul Williams, VP of Product Management, Control4. “The WR-1 with
BakPak enables dealers to efficiently deliver this as a standard
for all customers. Dealers gain visibility into their entire
customer base through one complete cloud-based network management
system.”
The WR-1 supports 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless and 500MB LAN-to-WAN,
blending high-performance wireless and fast throughput. It also
enables multiple connected devices to leverage the bandwidth in the
home more efficiently through multi-user multiple-input,
multiple-output (MU-MIMO). When the Wi-Fi coverage needs to be
increased within the home, the WR-1 can also be expanded with up to
two additional wireless access points.
Dealers can use the WR-1 with BakPak to efficiently support a
new customer base, without adding monitoring devices to a project
or paying additional monthly fees. A single interface provides
convenient remote network management from a desktop or smartphone
with the ability to run speed tests, check internet connectivity
status, and change wireless settings on the WR-1. BakPak Lite
enables the remote management for the WR-1 wireless router itself,
remote management for the entire network, including home automation
products, is available with BakPak on the Pakedge RK-1 Router and
NK-1 Wireless Controller.
