NETGEAR, Inc., a global provider of networking products, has launched the most compact Wi-Fi 7 access point on the market: The tri-band WBE750.

The company says that its latest product is designed for businesses heavily reliant on wireless internet and delivers up to 18.4Gbps total Wi-Fi throughput, supported by a 10Gbps/Multi-Gigabit PoE++ port.

“On average, most people have three connected devices, and these often come with them to the workplace. For businesses with 50 or more employees, each with personal devices, plus connected workplace equipment, network congestion can quickly become an issue,” says Iphie Chen, senior product line manager at NETGEAR. “The WBE750 brings Wi-Fi 7, the latest standard of Wi-Fi, to the workplace and offers a solution for businesses with these complex needs. Combined with NETGEAR’s Pro Router, Smart Cloud Managed Switches and Insight Remote Cloud Management, businesses with limited onsite IT resources can have an enterprise class, yet easy to manage total network solution.”

NETGEAR asserts the WBE750 Insight Manageable Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 Access Point provides the deep capabilities that today’s complex businesses need, including real-time responsiveness, low latency, and increased capacity. The global networking company notes that employees are using an increasing number of connected devices at work, including laptops, cell phones, tablets, on top of office-wide connected devices such as collaboration systems, portable POS systems, smart lighting, and more, all of which can eat up bandwidth. NETGEAR stresses that limited bandwidth can lead to decreased productivity and inefficiencies within a company, ultimately impacting the bottom line. The WBE750 access point NETGEAR points out with its high Wi-Fi throughput and ability to support up to 600 concurrent devices is among the most advanced available today.

WBE750 Access Point Delivers WiFI 7 Performance

With Wi-Fi 7 technology NETGEAR says devices can send and receive data across multiple Wi-Fi bands simultaneously, improving throughput for end devices and helping avoid the problems of poor connection. As Wi-Fi 7 continues to settle in as the new industry standard the company continues, more devices brought to the workplace will be Wi-Fi 7 enabled, and businesses need connectivity that matches this demand. Compared to access points with older Wi-Fi standards, the WBE750 NETGEAR claims, offers faster data transmission, lower latency, less interference, and greater capacity—even for Wi-Fi 6 devices.

The WBE750 incorporates RF technology designed by NETGEAR engineers with an antenna system design optimized for concurrent operation of all bands (2.4/5/6GHz). Each antenna is individually tuned to ensure the best connectivity across all bands. NETGEAR also notes the in-house team also created an advanced filter for the Multi-link Operation (a feature of Wi-Fi 7) that better isolates the individual bands for minimal interference, translating to 20-30% better connectivity.

Supporting professional system integrators, the company states that its NETGEAR Insight management platform offers integrators plug-and-play setup and management of a small business network through a cloud web portal or mobile app for Insight compatible devices. The Insight platform allows any business or custom install project owner, managed service provider or IT professional to discover and set up NETGEAR devices and monitor and manage their network.

NETGEAR adds the WBE750 wireless access point also provides these features:

• Dedicated wireless support: NETGEAR points out that integrators can take advantage of free, dedicated solutions experts for consultation on placement, size, and maximizing performance: [email protected].
• Unprecedented Wi-Fi 7 security: The company underscores the access point provides enterprise-level WPA3 for top-rated security. Create safe and secure sub-networks with multiple SSIDs and VLANs and use NETGEAR Insight to help configure and maintain the security of the network.
• Backwards compatibility and futureproofing: NETGEAR boasts the WBE750 provides enhanced speed and greater throughput even with older Wi-Fi 6/6E devices to offer built-in futureproofing when more Wi-Fi 7 devices hit the market.
• Mesh capability for better coverage: NETGEAR says dealers can connect several WBE750 APs to create a comprehensive mesh network.
• 2.4x more throughput: Through Wi-Fi 7 technology, which features a faster 6GHz band, the access point delivers as much as 2.4x more throughput than Wi-Fi 6E.
