Available in Q4 2021, select Zyxel WiFi 6 gateways and extenders will support OpenSync and will be certified for Plume’s services, including the HomePass smart home suite and the Haystack data prediction and analytics suite.

Zyxel’s WiFi 6 gateway-extender system supports dual-operational capability giving service providers unprecedented versatility in network management and delivery of enhanced WiFi. The ability to choose between Zyxel’s MPro MESH Intelligent WiFi with TR-69 remote management capability or Plume’s integrated platform and associated services provides service providers with maximum deployment flexibility and enables them to provide different service options for a tiered approach. Multi-operational CPE can significantly reduce costs by simplifying logistics, maintenance and customer support costs.
“Service providers have a dual challenge in offering personalized, premium services to subscribers while maintaining granular visibility and control across their networks and services to deliver consistently, high-performing experience,” explained Brian Feng, Senior Vice President of Zyxel Communications. “The winning combination of Zyxel WiFi 6 CPEs with OpenSync and Plume’s cloud platform solves both these challenges.”
