TP-Link Omada EAP772-Outdoor launches as first tri-band BE11000 Wi-Fi 7 access point for business
TP-Link’s Omada brand has launched the EAP772-Outdoor, its first tri-band six-stream BE11000 Wi-Fi 7 outdoor access point. With support for 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands and omnidirectional coverage up to 3,200 square feet, this device is built for businesses that need reliable wireless outdoors. Unlike dual-band options, the EAP772-Outdoor takes advantage of Wi-Fi 7’s new tricks like Multi-Link Operation, 4K-QAM, and 320MHz channels to hit total speeds as high as 11Gbps.
The 6GHz band on this device opens up much cleaner wireless airspace. That means fewer headaches from signal congestion, which can make all the difference in places like hotels, business parks, or large outdoor spaces with a lot of interference. Whether it’s 4K streaming, gaming, or real-time uploads, Omada wants you to have uninterrupted Wi-Fi under the sun or stars.
Hybrid work drives demand for secure networking technologies
According to a new study, 81 percent of IT professionals say hybrid work is driving demand for technologies like SASE and zero-trust networking.
The report from Aryaka surveyed over 200 IT, security and network professionals and finds SASE and SD-WAN are no longer seen as niche solutions. 84 percent of respondents believe SASE is either 'mature' or 'somewhat mature', with an even higher number (91 percent) saying the same about SD-WAN.
