Eastbourne-based ISP Lightning Fibre, which is deploying a full fibre broadband (FTTP) network across parts of Sussex and Kent in England (they also hold a partnership to harness CityFibre’s wider UK network – here), have partnered with Genexis to launch a new range of Wi-Fi 7 capable routers and mesh extenders for customers.
The first Wi-Fi 7 devices to be introduced are the Aura E750 gateway (router) and Home CX750 wireless mesh extender, although the brief announcement doesn’t mention any details of package availability. But we do note that, at present, the only packages on Lighting Fibre’s website to mention Wi-Fi 7 support are their top 1Gbps (£32 per month) and 2.5Gbps (£49 per month) tiers.
A number of other broadband providers, such as LilaConnect and nufibre to name a few, have also adopted consumer broadband kit from European network kit manufacturer Genexis.
Paul Thornton, CTO at Lightning Fibre, said:
“Our customers rely on us not only for an outstanding full fibre connection to the home, but also for the best possible experience inside the home. By launching Wi-Fi 7 products with Genexis, we’re taking a major step forward in performance and reliability, ensuring households and businesses can make the most of gigabit services today and be ready for what comes next.”
Simon Higgins, Country Manager UK and Ireland at Genexis, said:
“Lightning Fibre has a clear focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience, and we’re proud to support their Wi-Fi 7 launch. Together, we’re enabling a new generation of in-home connectivity, built for high performance, operational simplicity, and long-term scalability as service demands continue to grow.”
