Powered by the 802.11ad and 11ac MU-MIMO solutions from Qualcomm Atheros, a subsidiary of Qualcomm, the TP-LINK Talon AD7200 Multi-Band Wi-Fi Router can deliver ultra-fast speeds of up to 4.6Gbps on 60GHz bands.

TP-LINK is pushing the router as part of its new connected home portfolio, with smart home devices, connectivity products, and accessories.

The idea is that with the number of smart devices in the home steadily rising, consumers need more bandwidth to ensure seamless connectivity.

The TP-LINK Talon AD7200 Multi-Band Wi-Fi Router uses a new frequency with untapped bandwidth and channels at 60GHz. It also utilizes existing 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, resulting in 7Gbps Wi-Fi speeds throughout the home and combines 802.11ad with 802.11ac MU-MIMO to provide a step up in capacity.

This is better than the standard dual-band structure. The router transmits locally stored media and content from the cloud drastically faster, ensuring that devices function at prime performance.

Using the TP-LINK Talon AD7200 Multi-Band Wi-Fi Router, consumers can download an entire feature-length 4K HD video in about four minutes or transfer a thousand photos to a storage device in approximately five seconds, without any concerns about network interference.

Rahul Patel, senior vice president and general manager, connectivity, Qualcomm said that Qualcomm was continually investing in new, innovative technologies to meet the increasing bandwidth demands resulting from overcrowded networks.

“We are leading the way with 802.11ac wave 2 with MU-MIMO to improve efficiency in the 2.4/5 GHz bands and now once again are bringing groundbreaking 802.11ad technology to commercial fruition. These technologies combined with the unique features of TP-LINK’s Talon AD7200 Multi-Band Wi-Fi Router are designed to improve wireless networking and user experience.”
