Nokia Launches Entry, Mid-Tier Wi-Fi 7 Gateways

Nokia launched two Wi-Fi 7 gateways for delivering ultra-fast broadband to every corner of the home. Its entry-level Beacon 4 and mid-tier Beacon 9 offer GB speeds over Wi-Fi to support streaming, online gaming, video, smart home and security applications that demand increasing bandwidth.   

Nokia’s new Beacon 4 and 9 allow SPs to offer a best-in-class Wi-Fi 7 experience that delivers 3.6Gbps (Beacon 4) and 9.4Gbps (tri-band Beacon 9). Both gateways are powered by Corteca software, allowing operators to create and monetize improved broadband. 

“Wi-Fi 7 is a pivotal new technology that will power the connected home of the future,” said Nokia head of broadband devices, fixed networks, Dirk Verhaegen. “Operators can now make Wi-Fi 7 a reality for customers, with two new affordable solutions that ensure multi-gigabit speeds are delivered to every corner of the home for the ultimate experience.”   

The new gateways expand Nokia’s portfolio of Wi-Fi 7 devices, which also includes the Beacon 19 and Beacon 24 models.
