Huawei develops whole home Wi-Fi solutions

Huawei Consumer Business Group unveiled at CES 2018 a hybrid whole home Wi-Fi system, a solution that delivers fast wireless connectivity for connected homes. The Huawei Wi-Fi Q2 features a dynamic interplay of advanced hardware and software to boost speed, reliability, and range; delivers full-coverage wireless connectivity that’s simple to set up; and guarantees a stable signal throughout the entire home.

“We are streaming more content than ever before, more music, more movies, and more social media on more connected devices, which makes fast and reliable Wi-Fi an essential need,” said Richard Yu, CEO, Huawei Consumer Business Group. “The Huawei WiFi Q2 offers today’s families a hybrid whole home Wi-Fi system with a reliable, flexible solution that expands Wi-Fi throughout our homes.”

Current home Wi-Fi Systems depend heavily on the shape and size of home, and even on the location of the power sockets to efficiently transmit signal. Huawei WiFi Q2 addresses those setbacks through a mesh Wi-Fi with a unique G.hn gigabit PLC module, which can easily traverse walls and break physical barriers. Huawei WiFi Q2 also features an easily installation and configuration process, able to set up the main unit in five steps and enjoying plug-and-play connectivity for all sub-units. Superior in speed, coverage, and performance, Huawei Wi-Fi Q2 can provide a hybrid connection of up to 1867Mbps by bonding the speed of PLC and mesh WiFi, the fastest Wi-Fi backhaul network in the world. In addition, the Huawei WiFi Q2 covers the same area with less units, and can easily support up to 192 connected devices simultaneously with a complete system.

Designed to support up to 16 hot spots, users can add additional satellites that automatically connects to the network to expand coverage without the need for set up or configurations. By having a single Wi-Fi network in the entire home, the Huawei WiFi Q2 is able to offer 100ms switching time (with 802.11v protocol).
