NETGEAR Debuts Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh System — the Ultimate Whole Home Wireless Network
September 06 2019 - 4:00AM
NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), the leading provider of mesh
WiFi systems that power smart homes, today announced the worldwide
release of Orbi™ WiFi 6 Mesh System an innovative solution that
delivers a new standard for wireless networks.
This next generation Orbi Mesh WiFi System is
designed for the connected world of today and the future.
Households now have a multitude of always-on and always-connected
smart home devices many of which are running high-bandwidth
applications like streaming 4K/8K Ultimate HD connections across
multiple screens. The Orbi WiFi 6 mesh system has the capacity to
support the traffic generated by the multitude of connected devices
that are in the home today and for years to come. Similar to the
difference experienced between driving on a congested four-lane
highway compared to that of a sixteen-lane superhighway, WiFi 6
provides more streams so there is an increased capacity for more
traffic ensuring that the fastest high-speed WiFi connected devices
are not stalled by the slower ones.
“NETGEAR is pleased to be the first to bring to
market the next generation mesh system capable of bringing
multi-gigabit internet speeds to every corner of your home solving
the need for greater speed, coverage and connection capacity,” said
David Henry, senior vice president of Connected Home Products for
NETGEAR. “We are building multi-gigabit highways to the internet.
NETGEAR launched our first Orbi Whole Home WiFi Mesh System in 2016
and introduced the world to the power of our patented tri-band mesh
WiFi with a dedicated backhaul. Now in an era where there are more
devices than ever competing for bandwidth, home WiFi networks are
grinding to a halt. Only Orbi WiFi 6, with four times the network
capacity of WiFi 5 (802.11ac) can solve this problem.”
This exciting new addition to the NETGEAR family
of mesh WiFi products will set a new bar for performance and
capacity to meet the increasing bandwidth demands of our customers.
NETGEAR already has the industry’s most complete WiFi 6 router
portfolio and we are now happy to offer the industry’s best
performing WiFi 6 mesh solution. There is no end in sight for the
number of connected consumer devices being introduced to the market
and each of these new products are only as powerful as their
connection to the content and data sources that feed their
intelligence. Orbi WiFi 6 delivers on the demands of the always-on,
always-connected gigabit home.
With the current demand for more bandwidth,
NETGEAR sees growth in internet speeds from service providers where
gigabit speeds have become available nearly everywhere. Orbi WiFi 6
scales to provide these gigabit internet services to multi-gigabit
through the use of a 2.5 Gbps WAN port or using link aggregation to
combine two ports together.
Orbi™ WiFi 6 uses NETGEAR’s patented tri-band
mesh technology with a patented dedicated backhaul to provide the
ultimate smart home experience with seamless roaming. With 4x4
radios on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz fronthaul, as well as a 5Ghz
backhaul, Orbi WiFi 6 is designed to cover any home with a host of
connected devices. This latest generation WiFi technology is faster
than ever before and will support your devices’ connections for
years to come, with four times increased capacity for connections
as compared to a WiFi 5 (802.11ac) system.
Along with the enhanced networks speed and
increased capacity, WiFi 6 also introduces efficiency and improved
battery life for your mobile devices.
