With its triple-radio architecture, the WBE660S supports speeds of up to 22Gbps, five times faster than the previous generation of WiFi (WiFi 6/6E), thanks to the wider 320MHz channel (exclusive to WiFi 7 devices). This not only improves overall performance but also increases capacity (supporting more devices) by utilizing the 6GHz spectrum. Furthermore, the inclusion of a Multi-Gig LAN uplink that supports up to 10GbE unlocks the full potential of 10GbE networks.
Equipped with the Qualcomm® Networking Pro 1220 Wi-Fi platform, the WBE660S delivers robust computing power and ensures smooth operation. Its three 4x4 Smart Antennas optimize Wi-Fi performance by intelligently shaping antenna patterns to adapt to any environment, mitigating interference.
Zyxel Networks' RF-first design, incorporating Advanced RF Filter and Advanced Cellular Coexistence technologies, minimizes interference from adjacent WiFi channels and 4G/5G mobile networks, which are common in high-density environments. This design not only ensures optimal performance across all channels but also takes full advantage of the performance boosts provided by 4K QAM (exclusively for WiFi 7).
Integrated with Zyxel Networks' Nebula cloud, the WBE660S comes with enterprise-level features such as WiFi Health, WiFi Aid, and Connect & Protect Plus (CNP+) with a one-year Nebula Pro Pack license included.
WiFi Aid automatically resolves network access issues throughout the entire wireless client onboarding process, and CNP+ provides enhanced security against access point breaches, protecting the wireless edge at the point where most user traffic enters the network.
“The Qualcomm Networking Pro 1220 platform delivers next-generation Wi-Fi 7 capabilities, a powerful computing system, and an architectural design built for demanding infrastructure environments,” said Ganesh Swaminathan, vice president and general manager of wireless infrastructure and networking at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Through our continued collaboration with Zyxel, we are proud to offer a platform that is ideal for highly congested enterprises, small and medium-sized businesses, and sets industry benchmarks for network performance.”
“The WBE660S is a true game-changer for MSPs looking to solve WiFi congestion in the most challenging environments,” said Mr. Kell Lin, Senior Associate Vice President of Zyxel Networks. “As pioneers of WiFi 7, we’ve harnessed the power of wireless innovations and combined it with our unique product architecture to address the connectivity challenges businesses face. With Nebula cloud management that enhances ease of use, Zyxel Networks is proud to lead the way in bringing WiFi 7 to more businesses and helping them benefit from the new era of connectivity.”
The WBE660S's power options include PoE++ and USB Type-C charging, with the latter offering an eco-friendly alternative by utilizing existing chargers.
