Nokia Wi-Fi 7 Solutions to Boost Home Broadband Connectivity
Read MoreHide Full Article
Nokia Corporation (NOK - Free Report) has expanded its Wi-Fi 7 device portfolio with the introduction of two new gateways to cater to the growth of high-capacity broadband services across operator networks. With the launch of an entry-level and a mid-tier Beacon, the company aims to deliver ultra-fast network connectivity across the home, making it an ideal solution for streaming, online gaming, video, smart home and security applications.
How Operators Can Benefit From NOK’s Launch
Based on the indigenous Corteca software that forms the core of all its broadband device products, Nokia’s new Beacon 4 and 9 devices boast an end-to-end lifecycle management of applications via the cloud for simple installing, uninstalling and software updates. Embedding applications independently of the operating system, the solutions maximize end-user experience and provide additional revenue opportunities for communications service providers (CSPs) by creating and monetizing better broadband experiences.
The dual-band Beacon 4 gateway delivers 3.6 Gbps speed over Wi-Fi, while the tri-band Beacon 9 gateway delivers blazingly fast 9.4 Gbps speed to reduce slowdowns and buffering. Leveraging Corteca, the CSPs can further mitigate potential Wi-Fi issues through automated Wi-Fi optimization capabilities that work in broadband devices and the cloud.
NOK’s Value Creation Journey, Strategic Focus
Nokia has made significant progress in its three-phased journey of value creation: Reset, Accelerate and Scale. Its focus on capital allocation and technology leadership is expected to help it grow profitably. Nokia is on track to achieve sustainable, profitable growth and technology leadership by accelerating its product roadmap and cost competitiveness through additional 5G investments.
Nokia is well-positioned for the ongoing technology cycle, given the strength of its end-to-end portfolio. The company is driving the transition of global enterprises into smart virtual networks by creating a single network for all services, converging mobile and fixed broadband, IP routing and optical networks with the software and services to manage them. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, Nokia is transforming the way people and things communicate and connect. These include a seamless transition to 5G technology, ultra-broadband access, IP and Software Defined Networking, cloud applications and the Internet of Things.
Will NOK Stock Benefit?
