WiFI3™ is patented wireless technology developed specifically to solve the evolving issues of interference, capacity and density. Why is the capacity issue evolving? – because, even in as short a time as two years ago, the average WiFi user wasn’t bringing 2-3 devices with them everywhere. Fast forward to today and the average user carries 3 devices (Phone, Tablet, Laptop, Watch and more) which is straining exisiting WiFi networks to capacity & their breaking point. With every other WiFi technology approach, one radio equals one channel. WiFi3™ solves the capacity issue by enabling multiple concurrent channels of transmit and receive from a single, standards-compliant radio.

What is WiFi3™ We’ve reengineered Wi-Fi – for the better
