Zyxel Networks Offers Affordable WiFi 7 Solution for SMBs

Zyxel Networks announced it is now making WiFi 7 technology more accessible for small- and medium-sized businesses with the launch of the NWA130BE BE11000 WiFi 7 Triple-Radio NebulaFlex Access Point.

This is the second addition to Zyxel's WiFi 7 access point portfolio and offers an affordable solution for businesses seeking the benefits of tri-band WiFi 7 technology with a 2x2 access point.

It is also designed for an easy upgrade of existing networks and leverages a tri-band BE11000 architecture and a Qualcomm quad-core CPU to support all three frequency bands – 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz. With extra-wide 320MHz channels, it also doubles the bandwidth capacity of WiFi 6, and offers impressive speeds of up to 11Gbps.

Additional features like 4K QAM and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) enhance peak data rates by up to 20%, ensuring a high-quality WiFi experience with reduced latency.

The NWA130BE also comes with Multiple Link Operation (MLO) for improved throughput, reduced latency, and enhanced reliability. Its RF-first design includes advanced filters to eliminate interference, providing a seamless WiFi experience even in crowded environments. The rectangular housing enhances isolation between antennas for a stronger signal-to-noise ratio, optimizing network performance.

“As WiFi 7-supported devices begin to enter the mainstream market this year, SMBs will need to look seriously at upgrading the existing network infrastructures to take advantage of the faster speeds, enhanced reliability, and increased capacity that WiFi 7 technology offers,” said Shawn Rogers, Market Development Manager at Zyxel Networks. “The ease of deployment and versatility of managing NWA130BE as a standalone or cloud-managed device makes it the ideal solution for adding WiFi 7 capabilities to an existing network.”
