Snap One, now part of ADI, has introduced its first Wi-Fi 7 access point, the Access Networks A770, now available to systems integrators. The company believes the A770 marks a significant technological step forward, reinforcing ADI and Snap One’s position in the connectivity space.
The company says Access Networks A770 provides Snap One and ADI customers with a solution to empower the next generation of advanced connected devices and high-demand applications such as 8K video streaming, extended reality (XR) video conferencing and massive multiplayer gaming.
Wi-Fi 7 offers reduced latency, providing high speed connections to bandwidth-intensive applications across both residential and commercial environments. Snap One says it provides reliable performance even in the most densely populated networks and scalable throughput capacity for expanding technologies.
Nima Jamshidi, director of product management at Snap One, said: “ADI and Snap One are committed to equipping our customers with high-performance networking solutions that meet the demands of today’s evolving interactive, immersive technologies. With the release of our first Wi-Fi 7-enabled access point, our customers can deliver exceptional Wi-Fi experiences, whether in bandwidth-hungry smart home ecosystems or highly congested commercial environments like offices and community environments.”
The first wave of the A770 release will include the standard option, which is enabled with the ARCC Cloud-Based Controller. The A770 Unleashed version with OvrC integration will be available soon. The access point also employs WPA3, the latest Wi-Fi security standard.
The A770 features patented Beamflex+ Adaptive Antenna Technology, which is designed to enhance signal reception and reduce interference through dynamic, multidirectional antenna and radio patterns. Supporting eight spatial streams across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz frequency bands, the A770 provides double the throughput of Wi-Fi 6 access points with a combined data rate of 12.22 Gbps. It can accommodate up to 1,024 concurrent users, while its built-in 10 Gbps Ethernet port ensures smooth connections without bottlenecks.
Bryce Nordstrand, VP GM managed services at Access Networks, added: “As a combined business, we’re excited to offer customers new products and solutions to help them give their customers even better and more flexible options. Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue to ramp up investments across key focus areas of our product roadmap, including networking.”
