10 WISPAPALOOZA SHOW I OCTOBER 14 – 17, 2024 www.bekabusinessmedia.com DAY 2 L Z OO 2023 Nokia launched its new Beacon 19 Wi-Fi 7 gateway. Beacon 19 is designed to provide seamless, high-capacity mesh networking to assist operators in delivering improved broadband experiences. A tri-band device, the Beacon 19 Gateway offers up to 19 Gbps of Wi-Fi capacity to better meet the essential demands associated with streaming, online gaming, video, smart home and in-home security applications. With the widespread adoption of XGS-PON and the rise of 25G PON services, Wi-Fi upgrades are critical for delivering multi-gig speeds into the home. Nokia’s Beacon 19 is specifically designed to allow service providers to offer a best-in-class Wi-Fi 7 experience that incorporates Wi-Fi 7’s full capabilities, reducing network congestion with three radio bands to eliminate slowdowns and buffering issues. The Beacon 19 also supports multi-link operations (MLO), enhancing connection speeds by allowing devices to simultaneously send and receive data across different frequency bands and channels. Nokia’s Beacon 19 is powered by its Corteca software. Nokia Corteca works end-to-end, from applications embedded in the device, through the home and into the cloud. Built on open industry standards (TR-369, EasyMesh), Corteca integrates advanced Wi-Fi and device management while offering a marketplace with applications - including those of third parties - that run on fiber (ONT) gateways, FWA gateways and mesh Wi-Fi beacons. “Wi-Fi 7 is a pivotal new technology that will power the connected home of the future,” said Justin Doucette, the head of Wi-Fi, fixed networks with Nokia. “The Beacon 19 Wi-Fi 7 gateway is designed to help service providers make sure multi-gigabit speeds reach every corner of the house. Combined with our Corteca software, built-in TR-369 support for management, and open framework, it makes managing devices in the home much simpler. This means providers can easily optimize Wi-Fi, offer new services, and ultimately give their customers a fast, reliable and seamless broadband experience” “With the rise of XGS-PON and 25G PON services, Wi-Fi upgrades are becoming critical for delivering multi-gig speeds into the home,” added Michael Philpott, research director, digital consumer services, Omdia. “Since becoming standardized in January 2024, we’ve already seen 11 percent of the 61 telcos we benchmark launch Wi-Fi 7, and with other launches already announced, we expect that number to quickly grow. Wi-Fi 7 sets the stage for a faster, more connected future and solutions like Nokia’s Beacon 19 will allow service providers to offer a best-inclass Wi-Fi experience to its customers.” m Visit Nokia at WISPAPALOOZA booth #347.
