CommScope (NASDAQ: COMM) has this week launced its SURFboard mAX 6E tri-band mesh Wi-Fi system. The SURFboard mAX 6E technology takes advantage of the newly available 6GHz band, providing greater speed and performance for modern home networks.
The manufacturer notes that the mAX 6E system can easily support multi-gig speeds over a dedicated connection between the two mesh routers, while concurrently supporting devices compatible with the 6GHz band. The mAX 6E is designed to upgrade the home network with faster speeds, greater range, and an uninterrupted connection.
Per a press release, the SURFboard mAX 6E features a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E mesh system with a 6 GHz band that provides a high-bandwidth connection between the two mesh routers included in the system, providing wired speeds without the need to run wires. With speeds up to 6,600 Mbps, consumers can experience streaming, gaming, video conferencing, livestreaming and AR/VR/MR at top speeds seamlessly with minimal latency and interruptions.
Further, the SURFboard mAX 6E features two mesh routers with two 2.4 Ghz, two 5 Ghz streams, and four 6 Ghz streams per router, supporting up to 150 devices in a home. With the capacity to support more devices concurrently, CommScope says the SURFboard mAX 6E provides coverage throughout the home and outdoors with up to 5,500 square feet of uninterrupted network connection.
In terms of hardware connectivity, the SURFboard mAX 6E features a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port on each mesh router that enables multi-gig networking for high-bandwidth applications like 8K video streaming, online gaming and others. An additional 1 Gbps port is available on each mesh router.
Setting up the SURFboard mAX 6E is simplified with the SURFboard Central app, allowing users to manage their network and connected devices from anywhere, and to easily customize Wi-Fi settings of connected devices with home network setup and customization in one dashboard.
“We’re excited to debut the latest product in our lineup of Wi-Fi 6E offerings, the SURFboard mAX 6E tri-band mesh Wi-Fi system,” concluded Jonathan Wu, vice president of product and customer support, CommScope Home Networks. “By leveraging the 6 GHz band, the SURFboard mAX 6E provides less interference, higher speeds and overall better performance for devices that utilize Wi-Fi 6E to ensure flexible coverage and optimal internet access is available throughout the home.”
