MADRID-(BUSINESS WIRE)-The Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, home of Atlético de Madrid, is advancing its technological transformation with the implementation of a new intelligent, self-driving network infrastructure based on HPE Networking solutions. The project, divided into two phases over the 2025/26 and 2026/27 seasons, completely modernizes the stadium's communications system and marks the beginning of a new era in the digitalization of sports infrastructures in Europe.
The upgraded speeds for GFiber include: The previous Core 1 Gig is now Core 3 Gig, priced at $70 per month. Core 3 is 3x the symmetrical speed of GFiber's initial internet offering and is still the same price it was in 2012. Home 3 Gig is now Home 5 Gig, for $100/month. Customers at this tier are seeing about a 67% increase in speeds and will receive the GFiber Multi-Gig Wi-Fi 7 router.
This year's newest iPhones included one momentous change that marked a new phase in the evolution of Apple Silicon: the Apple N1, Apple's first in-house chip made to handle local wireless connections. The N1 supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and the Thread smart home communication protocol, and it replaces the third-party wireless chips (mostly made by Broadcom) that Apple used in older iPhones.
The platform will provide tenants with a private, secure network that enables seamless roaming within the entire property. In addition to Wi-Fi 7, the platform consists of a 3 Gbps bulk internet service and what the press release says is an easy way for residents to connect. GFiber says the Wi-Fi platform, which will roll out next year, will offer operational efficiencies and monetization opportunities to providers. The platform will offer automatic onboarding through the Quext app, which eliminates the need for residents to schedule installations or wait for technicians.
You won't just get better wireless coverage; in many cases, it'll save you a few bucks a month in rental fees. But not everyone wants to spill the many hundreds of dollars it can cost for some of the fancier mesh systems out there, and that's where Netgear's cheapest Wi-Fi 7 mesh system, the Orbi 370, comes in. The Orbi 370 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh kit aimed squarely at everyday households.
The Asus mobile app gives you a surprising amount of control over your Wi-Fi settings without having to dig into the even more detailed admin panel. With excellent feature support, you can configure your network-wide VPN, or create separate networks for smart home devices and guests. If you want added security or parental controls, Asus offers those with no additional monthly fee.
Federated Wireless and Cisco have successfully validated and deployed Standard Power Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 in enterprise environments across the US and Canada. Putting their move into perspective, the private wireless and shared spectrum services provider and the networking and IT giant noted that enterprises and venues have historically struggled to deliver reliable, high-capacity wireless connectivity in outdoor and high-ceiling environments - such as college campuses and stadiums - due to spectrum congestion and limitations on 6GHz Wi-Fi deployment.
