Wireless Networking

Wi-Fi 7 features will expand upon the innovation of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E to not only enable faster speeds, but dramatically improve responsiveness and reliability for future usages that demand extreme consistency and precision. Wi-Fi 7 enables significantly faster speeds by packing more data into each transmission. 320 MHz channels are twice the size of previous Wi-Fi generations—which is somewhat like using a semi-truck to move boxes, compared to a moving van

Wireless access points (WAPs) are standalone devices designed to be connected to a wired router or plug socket in the case of HomePlug WAPs, to provide wireless access for portable devices such as laptops and smart phones. In the home access points are usually built in a broadband router, however in business separate access points are common as they offer flexibility of placement (often featuring PoE technology) and better coverage when multiple units are deployed.

These access points’ range and speeds will vary depending on the wireless standard they are based on - either 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 6E), 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) or 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4).

Network gateway devices serve as the bridge between your local network and external networks, ensuring secure, efficient, and reliable data flow. Acting as the first line of defense, gateways manage traffic, enforce security policies, and often integrate firewall, VPN, and routing capabilities to protect and optimize your network. Whether for home, business, or enterprise environments, they provide seamless connectivity, safeguard sensitive information, and improve performance through intelligent traffic management. From simple internet access to advanced network control, gateway devices are essential for maintaining stability, security, and scalability in modern networking solutions.

HomePlug devices are designed to transmit a network signal over the mains power cabling within your home. They offer an alternative to wireless technologies in areas where there may be obstacles to good wireless coverage - thick walls, line-of-sight or other interference. Much like wireless technologies, subsequent generation have increased in speed. HomePlug adapters can feature multiple network ports for greater connectivity options or a wireless access point enable portable devices in a distant part of your home.

These HomePlug adapters are based on the AV2 standard supporting speeds of up to 650Mbits per second.
