NETGEAR is expanding its multi-award-winning Orbi Home Tri-band Wi-Fi System with two new offerings designed specifically for smaller to mid-sized homes. These new additions join the CES 2017 Innovation Award Honoree Orbi Wi-Fi System.
NETGEAR is also introducing new form factors for Orbi that provide more choice of style and flexibility of Wi-Fi placement so more customers can enjoy Wi-Fi on every inch of their property. NETGEAR Orbi is a driving force behind the growth of Home Wi-Fi Systems, and these two new systems demonstrate NETGEAR’s commitment to and leadership in the Wi-Fi System category.
The two new Orbi Tri-band Wi-Fi Systems are:
· RBK30: The new Orbi Tri-band Wi-Fi System includes an AC2200 router and wall-plug satellite designed to cover an area of up to 3,500 square feet.
· RBK40: This new Orbi Tri-band Wi-Fi System includes the AC2200 router and matching satellite, which are designed to cover a property up to 4,000 square feet.
As the inventor and market leader of the Wi-Fi Range Extender category, NETGEAR knows that a significant percentage of consumers prefer the flexibility of a wall-plug form factor, especially when placed in common areas such as hallways and kitchens. The new RBK30 Orbi Tri-band Wi-Fi kit with its wall-plug satellite is particularly well suited to address this segment of the market.
Lauded for its innovative design and engineering, Orbi by NETGEAR has a unique, industry-first Tri-band architecture with a dedicated 5GHz wireless connection between the router and satellite, which provides both reliable Wi-Fi coverage and maximum internet speed throughout your home with a single network name. These new Orbi Systems all deliver industry-leading 802.11ac AC2200 Wi-Fi speeds up to 2.2Gbps, so you can enjoy seamless Wi-Fi everywhere in your home and around your property, without dead zones – from the attic to the basement, patio to garage, front yard to back garden even while streaming 4K HD video content or other bandwidth-gobbling multimedia.
“Today, Wi-Fi is considered to be as critical as any other home utility. With this new expanded portfolio of Orbi Tri-band Wi-Fi systems, we are introducing solutions to provide the best Wi-Fi for an even broader range of households. And due to the use of the innovative Tri-band technology, multiple independent reviewers and testers around the world have proven that Orbi Wi-Fi systems deliver far superior performance for more simultaneously streaming devices.” said Marthesh Nagendra, Country Manager, India and SAARC, NETGEAR.
