15 October 2024 – Epitiro, a global leader in remote internet performance monitoring, has announced the launch of a new Wi-Fi 7-capable monitoring solution, the ‘6177 agent’.
This cutting-edge technology allows organisations to monitor, test and remotely troubleshoot their internet networks, supporting both current standards and future upgrades to Wi-Fi 6, 6E and Wi-Fi 7.
The 6177 agent simplifies the network upgrade process, providing a cost-effective and reliable way for IT teams to maintain performance across their networks without the need to replace monitoring hardware.
“Our new agent – a world’s first – enables organisations to upgrade their internet monitoring service knowing they’ll stay ahead of any technology refresh-cycle for the next couple of generations,” said Des Owens, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Epitiro.
“With Wi-Fi 7 set to transform internet and connectivity over the next few years, we’ve created a solution that not only supports today’s networks but also anticipates tomorrow’s needs, saving companies both time and money.
“This development ensures businesses can deploy Epitiro with confidence, knowing their investment is futureproofed to handle the evolving needs of wireless internet.”
As businesses transition to Wi-Fi 7, the new agent works seamlessly across all network standards, eliminating the need for new hardware or complex setups and minimising disruptions to business operations.
Tested at Wi-Fi speeds exceeding 750Mbps, the agent is designed to deliver high-performance monitoring in the most demanding environments.
Furthermore, the new agent hardware is capable of supporting higher-speed Ethernet ports and LTE/Cellular/5G networks, ensuring flexibility across a range of network configurations. Its durable housing provides improved heat dissipation, allowing for optimal performance under heavy usage, and it can be easily wall mounted.
