The New Insight-manageable WBE750 Access Point joins NETGEAR’s Total Network Solution, and provides supercharged performance with unbeatable network security
San Jose, Calif. – March 14, 2024 – NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR), the leading provider of networking products that power businesses of any size, today launched the most compact WiFi 7 access point on the market. The tri-band WBE750 is designed for businesses heavily reliant on wireless internet and delivers up to 18.4Gbps[1] total WiFi throughput, supported by a 10Gbps/Multi-Gigabit PoE++ port.
The WBE750 Insight Manageable Tri-band WiFi 7 Access Point provides the deep capabilities that today’s complex businesses need, including real-time responsiveness, low latency, and increased capacity. Employees are using an increasing number of connected devices at work – including laptops, cell phones, tablets, on top of office-wide connected devices such as collaboration systems, portable POS systems, smart lighting, and more, all of which can eat up precious bandwidth. Limited bandwidth can lead to decreased productivity and inefficiencies within a company, ultimately impacting the bottom line. The WBE750 access point with its high WiFi throughput and ability to support up to 600 concurrent devices is among the most advanced available today.
“On average, most people have three connected devices, and these often come with them to the workplace. For businesses with 50 or more employees, each with personal devices, plus connected workplace equipment, network congestion can quickly become an issue,” said Iphie Chen, senior product line manager at NETGEAR. “The WBE750 brings WiFi 7, the latest standard of WiFi, to the workplace and offers a solution for businesses with these complex needs. Combined with NETGEAR’s Pro Router, Smart Cloud Managed Switches and Insight Remote Cloud Management, businesses with limited onsite IT resources can have an enterprise class, yet easy to manage total network solution.”
NETGEAR and WiFi 7
With WiFi 7 technology, devices can send and receive data across multiple WiFi bands simultaneously, improving throughput for end devices and helping avoid the pitfalls of poor connection. As WiFi 7 continues to settle in as the new industry standard, more devices brought to the workplace will be WiFi 7 enabled, and businesses need connectivity that matches this demand. Compared to access points with older WiFi standards, the WBE750 offers faster data transmission, lower latency, less interference, and greater capacity – even for WiFi 6 devices.
The WBE750 boasts RF technology designed by NETGEAR engineers with a unique antenna system design optimized for concurrent operation of all bands (2.4/5/6GHz). Each antenna is individually tuned to ensure the best connectivity across all bands. The in-house team also created an advanced filter for the Multi-link Operation (a feature of WiFi 7) that better isolates the individual bands for minimal interference, translating to 20-30% better connectivity.
Easy management for businesses of any size
NETGEAR® Insight management solution offers plug-and-play setup and management of a small business network, using an easy-to-use cloud web portal or mobile app for Insight compatible devices.
