New TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 Series Debuts in Hong Kong

Beyond boundaries｜A new benchmark for Wi-Fi routers

【19 July 2023, Hong Kong】The rapid advancement in AI algorithms and growing demand for household and commercial IT products mean that a high-speed and full-coverage Wi-Fi network is now indispensable.

 

Recognizing this trend, TP-Link Hong Kong & Macau is pleased to unveil the new Wi-Fi 7 product series today. The first to obtain the HKCA1081 certification by the Office of the Communications Authority (OFCA), these groundbreaking novelties include <Archer BE800>, the first BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router with Dual 10G Ports, <Deco BE85>and <Deco BE65>, two BE22000/BE11000 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Routers for full Wi-Fi coverage, and the ultra-slim Wi-Fi Access Point <EAP770> for business use.
 

As the No.1 global consumer and commercial networking device provider, TP-Link is committed to pursuing technological innovation. After introducing the first Wi-Fi 6E routers in Hong Kong in 2022, TP-Link continues to lead the industry by presenting the cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 series this year. According to Alvin Ou, Regional Director of TP-Link (Hong Kong & Macau), existing AI computing tools, such as Chat-GPT, AI image/video generation, and the application of AR/VR in the meta-universe, require extremely high data transmission capacity and stability. While previous Wi-Fi standards may not catch up with these needs in the foreseeable future, the pioneering Wi-Fi 7 products are here to break the boundaries. Working closely with Qualcomm and other leading international semiconductor manufacturers, TP-Link is about to develop and launch the market’s first Wi-Fi 7 series. This breakthrough will help accelerate the advancement and adoption of revolutionary network technologies and provide Hong Kong customers with more options to expand their networks and experience a new level of convenience and efficiency delivered by innovative technologies.

                                                                                  

Wi-Fi 7: Next-level technologies and 4.8x faster than the previous generation

Designed for the next-generation network environment, Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be), the latest 7th-generation Wi-Fi standard, boasts an impressive array of groundbreaking technologies that deliver astonishing speed and efficiency for every device. The new Wi-Fi 7 works across three separate frequency bands (2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz) at the same time to fully utilize spectrum resources and increase throughput up to 46 Gbps. With the 320 MHz ultra-wide channel, 4096-QAM, and Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Wi-Fi 7 is 13 times faster than Wi-Fi 5 and 4.8 times faster than Wi-Fi 6. Unleashing the potential of 2000 Mbps and 2500 Mbps fiber optic speeds fully, it meets the needs of next-generation networks seamlessly.

 

 

 

Three unique advantages of Wi-Fi 7

Keeping abreast of the latest technological advancements and market trends, TP-Link offers a diverse range of Wi-Fi 7 products, including the Mesh Router System/ Access Point, breaking the boundaries of wireless data transmission by providing full network coverage for homes, offices, or online game players at an ultra-fast speed with minimal interference, presenting the ultimate online experience with unrivaled stability and efficiency.

• Ultra-high transmission capacity: 320 MHz double channel width + 4K QAM high density
  To further enhance the peak rates, Archer BE800, Deco BE65, Deco BE85, and EAP770 enable faster simultaneous transmission by expanding the channel width of the 6GHz band to 320MHz, adopting the upgraded modulation scheme 4096-QAM and increasing the number of spatial streams and antennas. With Wi-Fi 7, family members can enjoy an exceptionally smooth 8K streaming and AR/VR gaming experience in different areas of the house at the same time.

 

• Ultra-low latency: Multi-Link Operation (MLO) Mesh + Multi-RU technology

Before the launch of Wi-Fi 7, cellular connection or a connection with the Mesh Router would only use a single band for data transmission without fully utilizing the channel width of the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. In contrast, TP-Link adopts MLO technology to fully open up all three frequency bands, and Multi-RU technology to enable devices to switch between bands and channels, eliminating the limitation of providing Mesh Backhaul on a single band. A LAN wired network connection can also be added as a transmission channel to provide powerful backhaul aggregation, unleashing the remarkable strength of Wi-Fi 7.

• Improve the Wi-Fi experience of old mobiles/notebooks with three bands supported by Wi-Fi 7

The new Wi-Fi 7 routers are backward compatible with Wi-Fi 6E/ 6/ 5. With the exclusive Mesh Backhaul Aggregation technology, even if a mobile phone or device does not support Wi-Fi 7, it can still rely on an extremely fast Wi-Fi network in every corner, enjoying the benefits of Wi-Fi 7. Since Wi-Fi 7 delivers a much higher speed across all three bands, based on the same rate of signal attenuation, even a room that is farther away can still receive a stable and strong signal, taking advantage of the full high-speed Wi-Fi coverage.

 

Ultra high-speed fiber optic: multiple 2.5 Gbps/ 10 Gbps ports

With the growing prevalence of 2000Mbps or 2500Mbps fiber broadband services, the combination of “ultra high-speed fiber optic + Wi-Fi 7 Router” is now a new trend. TP-Link’s Archer/Deco series are equipped with multiple 2.5 Gbps/ 10 Gbps ports as a default feature to get the most out of 2Gbps / 2.5Gbps fiber broadband through a wired or wireless connection, offering a blazing-fast and smooth Wi-Fi 7 experience.

Build your personal NAS: VPN Server/ Client + USB for FTP Server

Reflecting TP-Link’s relentless pursuit of innovation and commitment to user experience, the latest Deco BE65 and Deco BE85 come with the VPN Server/ Client feature, while Archer BE800 is supported by the cutting-edge WireGuard VPN. These distinctive features allow users to set up a VPN client on the router without having to install or configure VPN software on their mobiles or computers. They can then access their home or office networks remotely through the TP-Link VPN server and most third-party VPN servers, such as Surfshark and NordVPN, anytime, anywhere.

 

Deco BE65, Deco BE85, and Archer BE800 each come with a USB 3.0 port, which enables users to share files between connected devices and build a personal NAS with the help of an external driver. The free TP-Link DDNS also allows them to access files from anywhere easily.
