Nokia expands Wi-Fi 7 portfolio with new gateway

New tri-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh gateway that can deliver faster speeds.

Nokia has launched the Beacon 19, a new Wi-Fi 7 gateway. The new device is designed to provide seamless, high-capacity mesh networking so that operators can improve the broadband experience for users.

The Beacon 19 is a tri-band device and offers up to 19Gbps of Wi-Fi capacity. The upgraded Wi-Fi capacity will help support adoption of XGS-PON and the rise of 25G PON services.

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.

Justin Doucette, head of Wi-Fi, fixed networks, Nokia, said, “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 optimise Wi-Fi, offer new services, and ultimately give their customers a fast, reliable, and seamless broadband experience”

Nokia’s new Beacon 19 is powered by its Corteca software. Nokia Corteca works end-to-end, from applications embedded in the device and into the cloud.

Corteca is built on open industry standards (TR-369, EasyMesh) and integrates advanced Wi-Fi and device management together with fiber (ONT) gateways, FWA gateways and mesh Wi-Fi beacons.
