\n\u201cAs more people continue to work and learn from home, they are making upgrades to get the best speed and Wi-Fi coverage for their homes,\u201d said Evan Groat, Senior Vice President, Retail Products, CommScope. \u201cThe SURFboard mAX and the SURFboard mAX Express are the latest innovations from CommScope that offers consumers several new options for achieving whole-home coverage using the latest Wi-Fi technologies.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nBy deploying a whole-home mesh Wi-Fi 6 system, customers will receive unparalleled connectivity, turning a home into a smart, connected home. This technology provides maximum speed, coverage and capacity so devices run at peak performance. As technology develops, more devices will connect to a home network in the future (i.e., 8K TV streams, telehealth, and AR\/VR experiences) driving the need for higher bandwidth and consistent, ubiquitous coverage.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe SURFboard mAX<\/b> is the latest tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh system and features the industry\u2019s newest 802.11ax standard with increased data capacity to handle a customer\u2019s whole-home network needs. The SURFboard mAX complements the flagship SURFboard mAX Pro<\/b> and SURFboard mAX Plus<\/b> mesh systems. Designed to reduce dead zones in the home and compatible with many internet plans, the SURFboard mAX system features an advanced tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh design with two routers, each delivering up to 6.6 Gbps speeds and providing a total coverage area of up to 5,500 sq. ft. Its third band, with 4\u00d74 Wi-Fi 6, provides a dedicated backhaul to ensure the maximum service speeds across the entire home.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

\nThe upcoming SURFboard mAX Express <\/b>is a single extender unit that is bundled with the SURFboard mAX. It is a tri-band Wi-Fi 6 wall-plug unit and the bundle offers, not only the power and capacity of tri-band Wi-Fi 6 mesh system, but adds the convenience of a smaller size to provide whole-home coverage (up to 5,550 sq. ft.) as a two-unit system. Regardless of its compact wall-mounted design, it supports tri-band Wi-Fi up to 6.6 Gbps speeds, connected to the SURFboard mAX router with a dedicated 4\u00d74 Wi-Fi 6 backhaul link.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe SURFboard mAX Express<\/a> is expected to be available during the first quarter of 2021.\n<\/p>\n

\nDuring this year\u2019s virtual CES, CommScope will also showcase other market-leading SURFboard products\u2014the SURFboard S33 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem<\/b> and the SURFboard Central app<\/b>.\n<\/p>\n

\nCustomers require a modem that provides them better connectivity for their computers, gaming consoles and smart TVs. With a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port plus a second 1 Gbps Ethernet port, the SURFboard S33 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem<\/a> is capable of providing a total throughput of up to 3.5 Gbps powering the most advanced home networks and enabling simultaneous video conferencing, multiple 4K ultra-HD video streams and online gaming sessions with confidence. This enables customers with even the highest speed broadband subscription plans such as gigabit or multi-gigabit plan to get the most use of their plans and less buffering.\n<\/p>\n

\nTo deliver a comprehensive experience for users to stay on top of their connected life, the SURFboard Central<\/a> mobile app provides easy access to a digital dashboard for their networks. By using a mobile Android <\/a>or iOS device<\/a>, customers can:\n<\/p>\n
