Predator Connect X7S 5G CPE: Gaming and Entertainment Redefined
The Predator Connect X7S 5G CPE is a game-changer for enthusiasts seeking high-performance connectivity. This device merges 5G capabilities with tri-band Wi-Fi 7 technology, offering downlink speeds that can hit up to 4.67 Gbps. This speed is designed to handle demanding tasks such as gaming and streaming, even in locations where fiber connectivity is scarce. Users can benefit from low latency and high throughput throughout their homes thanks to its tri-band capabilities that operate on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequencies.
One of the standout features of this CPE is its Advanced Multi-Link Operation (MLO), which allows for speeds of up to 5,764 Mbps, further enhancing connection stability when multiple devices are in use. Coupled with Hybrid Quality of Service (QoS) that works alongside Intel® Killer™ Prioritization Engine, users can optimize their bandwidth to accommodate latency-sensitive applications such as online gaming and video streaming effectively.
Acer Connect Ovia: Comprehensive Wi-Fi Coverage
Acer has also introduced the Acer Connect Ovia T360 and T520 Wi-Fi 7 mesh routers, aimed at providing extensive wireless coverage for homes and offices. The Ovia T360 features dual-band Wi-Fi 7 technology, delivering robust speed across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, covering up to 90 m² per node. This makes it ideal for small apartments and homes needing reliable connectivity.
For larger spaces, the Acer Connect Ovia T520 offers tri-band technology, which includes an additional 6 GHz band. With coverage of up to 110 m² per node and Wi-Fi 7 speeds of up to 5,764 Mbps, it accommodates multiple connected devices seamlessly. These routers are designed to reduce common dead zones in Wi-Fi coverage, ensuring consistent connectivity throughout different rooms in a building.
Their sleek, minimalistic designs are aimed at blending well with modern aesthetics. Additionally, both models come equipped with WAN and LAN ports, allowing high-bandwidth access for smart TVs, gaming consoles, and other devices.
