In short, data demands are going up, and our home wireless networks need to keep pace.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this will allow EE customers to benefit from multi-gigabit capable Wi-Fi &#8220;<em>throughout the home<\/em>&#8221; (assuming it&#8217;s supported by their Mesh system) with faster speed, less interference, more capacity and better performance to support the many high-bandwidth activities of the future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> EE had planned to launch a new 1.6Gbps full fibre broadband plan during this summer (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2023\/06\/isp-ee-uk-launch-1-6gbps-full-fibre-broadband-plan-and-wifi-6-router.html\">here<\/a>), but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s trial of the underlying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> tier has since been extended to the end of 2023 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2023\/09\/openreach-uk-extend-pilot-of-1-2gbps-and-1-8gbps-fttp-to-end-of-2023.html\">here<\/a>) and they&#8217;re unlikely to launch before that completes.<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Marc Allera, CEO of EE, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a long history of collaborating with Qualcomm Technologies to create innovation in mobile for consumers &#8211; so we\u2019re delighted to evolve this strategic collaboration into our in-home products for the first time. EE broadband customers will be among the first globally to benefit from access to a certified next-gen Wi-Fi 7 home hub &#8211; providing them with the cutting-edge of innovation in connectivity.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The news itself won&#8217;t come as much of a surprise to ISPreview&#8217;s regular readers because it&#8217;s something we&#8217;ve already leaked, although precisely when the launch will occur remains unclear. EE&#8217;s announcement merely states &#8220;<em>2024<\/em>&#8221; and we&#8217;ve heard everything from &#8220;<em>early 2024<\/em>&#8221; to &#8220;<em>June 2024<\/em>&#8221; being mentioned by sources before.<\/p>\n<p>The catch being that the related <strong>802.11be<\/strong> standard isn\u2019t currently expected to be finalised until early 2024, which suggests that a launch closer to June may be more plausible. The new router itself will effectively be the <strong>Smart Hub 4<\/strong>, although other than adding Wi-Fi 7 support, the new device is expected to have broad feature parity with the new Smart Hub 3.1 \/ Plus.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> may be able to bring this all to market so quickly is because they&#8217;ve been developing their own in-house Operating System (OS) and Firmware for the new routers, which is known as <strong>Project Indigo<\/strong>. As a result, they aren&#8217;t as dependent upon the whims of third-parties, although ensuring they have enough hardware supply may still be a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The other question mark is over who will be able to access the new router. Our sources suggest that it will initially only be available as a &#8220;<em>premium product<\/em>&#8221; and that seems likely, since such bleeding edge kit would normally attract a much higher unit cost and that&#8217;s not something even big ISPs could easily give away alongside a regular package.<\/p>\n<p>Further detail on EE&#8217;s Wi-Fi 7 next-gen home broadband Smart Hub will be announced closer to launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadband ISP and mobile operator EE (BT) has today confirmed our leak from May 2023 (here) by announcing that they&#8217;ve agreed a new partnership with Qualcomm Technologies, which will see their home customers becoming some of the first in the world to gain access to future Wi-Fi 7 technology in 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34752,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1972,474,405,56,476],"class_list":["post-35761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-802-11be","tag-bt","tag-ee","tag-fttp","tag-wifi"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
