A global leader in home networking solutions, CommScope is
entering the retail Wi-Fi 6E market by offering two new ARRIS
SURFboard® solutions. These enable customers to upgrade their
network quickly and easily without replacing any of their existing
equipment:
- ARRIS SURFboard THRUSTER™ Gaming Acceleration Kit (Model
W6B)
- ARRIS SURFboard Wi-Fi 6E Network Upgrade Adapter (Model
W6U)
“Augmented reality, virtual reality, and gaming consoles are
establishing baselines of latency and jitter performance that are
driving consumers to upgrade their home networks and improve their
overall connectivity performance,” stated Evan Groat, Senior Vice
President, Smart Home Solutions and Retail Products, CommScope.
“One way to accomplish this is by upgrading to Wi-Fi 6E technology
which is exactly what these two new ARRIS SURFboard solutions
achieve. Each allows consumers to connect more devices to their
home network simultaneously with consistent speed and reliability,
while also improving their gaming and streaming performance,” Groat
continued.
Wi-Fi 6E enables the 6 GHz band with nearly 3 times more
available channels than what is currently available. More channels
provide less interference, higher speeds and overall better
performance for devices that utilize Wi-Fi 6E.
ARRIS SURFboard THRUSTER Gaming Acceleration Kit (Model W6B)
Features
Available in the United States, the ARRIS SURFboard THRUSTER is
designed specifically for gamers who require high performance from
their home network and don’t want to upgrade their entire existing
Wi-Fi network. The 4x4 6 GHz connection provides maximum speed of
4.8 Gbps between the two access points without the hassle of
running additional wires. The kit enables the ultimate gaming
experience without interference from other Wi-Fi connected devices.
It also reduces latency to increase connection speed and reduce
connection slowdowns and pauses. The simple plug-and-play kit comes
pre-paired and connects directly into the existing Wi-Fi router and
the gaming console via its 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port – this allows
gaming to commence in a matter of minutes. It is designed to be
compatible with any existing Wi-Fi router or gateway, and all
internet service provider plans.
ARRIS SURFboard Wi-Fi 6E Network Upgrade Kit (Model W6U)
Features
Also available in the Unites States, the ARRIS SURFboard Wi-Fi
6E Network Upgrade Kit is designed for the “digitally connected”
consumer who demands a Wi-Fi network that can keep up with their
smart home. It upgrades the existing wireless internet to cutting
edge 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6E without the need to upgrade the entire existing
home network. Moreover, it can simultaneously support 6 GHz-capable
smartphone, tablets, smart home devices, and even 8K TV,
substantially reducing network slow-downs. Set up is as simple as
plugging the new upgrade adapter to the customer’s existing Wi-Fi
router through the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port. It too is designed to be
compatible with any existing Wi-Fi router or gateway, and all
internet service provider plans.
