DEVOLO
MESH WI-FI
devolo’s Mesh WiFi kits combine smart wi-fi functions with one another. Thanks to multi-user MIMO, multiple devices can be connected to fast internet simultaneously, while the ‘access point steering’ function ensures mobile devices are always connected to the strongest wi-fi hotspot. Devolo uses the building’s own power line to transmit data, meaning walls and ceilings no longer block the wi-fi signal.
