Zyxel unveils WiFi 6 mesh router

The EX5501 allows service providers to extend fiber-grade services with premium WiFi 6 Mesh capabilities and performance.

Zyxel Communications (Copenhagen, Denmark) has released its premium WiFi 6 router – dubbed the EX5501 with Mesh capabilities – enabling service providers to easily extend fiber-grade services to their customers.

Zyxel says its EX5501 "helps service providers better meet consumers’ demands for consistent fast-speed internet, no matter the hour or location."

Developed with built-in management features and compliant with Zyxel’s MPro Mesh app, the company says its EX5501 will satisfy end users with an enhanced, dead-zone-free WiFi experience and intuitive operation. The EX5501 "is already showing strong user cases among Zyxel customers throughout EMEA and specifically in Scandinavia," reports the manufacturer.

The EX5501 allows service providers to extend fiber-grade services with premium WiFi 6 Mesh capabilities and performance. Via the platform, service providers can offer optional add-on services, such as cybersecurity and WiFi analytics, for a customizable user experience.

Attendees at this year’s Broadband World Forum (BBWF - Oct. 12-14) in Amsterdam will see a presentation of the platform.

“With consumer expectations of a coverage-everywhere experience, Zyxel strives to provide service providers with the solutions they need to meet these customer demands,” commented Karsten Gewecke, Senior Vice President, Head of EMEA Regional Business Unit at Zyxel Communications. “With every new offering in the Mesh WiFi 6 family, we aim to make our customers more competitive and deliver a superb user experience.”
