The launch was in collaboration with Taiwanese fabless semiconductor company MediaTek and its entity, Airoha and end-to-end managed network service using SD-WAN technology for retail stores provider Axon Network.

MediaTek’s Filogic, a wireless networking SoC (systems-on-a-chip) designed for routers, repeaters, access points, and mesh networking devices, and Airoha 10G-PON platform power the device so customers benefit from faster speeds, lower latency, higher capacity, reliability, and security.

Lumen Technologies did not reveal more details. The device is poised to launch in early 2024.

Lumen Technologies president mass markets Maxine Moreau said the launch of Wi-Fi 7 is aligned with the company’s step to offer a secure Wi-Fi service in the industry.

Moreau added securing a reliable connection is a priority.

"This investment will help enable Lumen to innovate rapidly in the Wi-Fi space and position itself as a leader in the wireless market," said Moreau. "We look forward to launching the Wi-Fi 7-capable device in select markets in the fourth quarter of 2023 and roll it out nationwide in early 2024."
