Linksys, a global provider in wireless networking products, will be taking visitors to this year’s GITEX Global through a preview of how future homes and offices can enjoy better, faster and stronger connectivity.
A particular emphasis is being placed on enterprise-grade networking performance and security. This follows a strategic alliance between Linksys and Fortinet announced earlier this year, wherein Fortinet has already made a strategic investment of US$160 million in Linksys. The partnership will also address the issue of the homework gap among students as schools are re-opening with hybrid models for learning. The introduction of Linksys HomeWRK for education is intended to help address this issue.
Given the accelerated rollout of 5G infrastructure in the Middle East, Linksys will be showcasing an all-inclusive lineup of 5G routers and hotspots that enable consumers and businesses to make the most of the technology’s enormous capacity. Linksys estimates that the average consumer will go from 2.3GB of mobile data per month to 11GB, tapping into 5G-enabled experiences such as 4K video streaming and high-performance gaming.
These 5G-enabled experiences will be further enhanced through Linksys Wi-Fi 6 technology. Linksys is also previewing at GITEX its Wi-Fi 6E technology that leverages the 6GHz band for uncluttered channels with more capacity, a stronger signal, and faster data transfer for smart home and bandwidth-heavy devices.
Amanullah Khan, Managing Director, Middle East, Turkey and Africa, (META) Linksys, said: “Wherever individuals may be located, the ability to seamlessly connect to a reliable, high-speed network has never been more important. It is a tool that enables you to create, unwind, and connect with others. A new breed of Linksys solutions has been designed so that Wi-Fi is the least of one’s worries, and to allow them to focus on the connections that really matter.”
GITEX visitors can also see a demo of a range of other business-led offerings including the Linksys Cloud Manager and how the company has been broadening its relationships with leading Internet service providers in the region.
Linksys will be located at GITEX Global in Zabeel Hall 2, Booth C10.
