WOW! (NYSE:WOW) has launched its Whole-Home WiFi solution in Pinellas, FL, and Columbus, OH. Whole-Home WiFi is WOW!'s new mesh network solution. The company plans to roll out the solution across the rest of its footprint later this summer.

WOW!'s Whole-Home WiFi solution, which uses the eero home WiFi system, is designed to ensure fast, secure and reliable service across the entire home. Instead of using a single router, Whole Home WiFi is customized to every home using multiple eero access points, learning the space, devices and network usage to optimize Internet connectivity. It's also designed to provide increased security over traditional routers.

"We're bringing connectivity to Pinellas unlike ever before with our fastest, most reliable and most secure WiFi available. Whether you're uploading photos from a day at the beach or live-streaming from the living room on a cloudy day, our Pinellas customers will enjoy hassle-free downloading, streaming and gaming in every corner of the home," said Teresa Elder, CEO of WOW!. "With WOW! Whole-Home WiFi, there are no more slow zones, no more dead zones. Starting today, there are only WOW! zones, no matter where you are in your home or backyard."

WOW! technicians will customize the WiFi network to a home's specific needs.

"Home WiFi systems should protect customers from the increasing number of security threats to connected devices in the home," said Nate Hardison, co-founder and head of product, eero. "We built eero hardware and software together to ensure that we can control and improve digital security, and know WOW! customers will benefit from this new offering."
