Nokia Launches Wi-Fi 7 Beacon 4 and 9, Bringing Ultra-Fast Connectivity to Homes
ESPOO, Finland – On May 29, 2025, Nokia unveiled its latest Wi-Fi 7 gateways, the Beacon 4 and Beacon 9, designed to deliver high-speed, reliable broadband to homes worldwide. These entry-level and mid-tier devices, powered by Nokia’s Corteca software, aim to meet the growing demands of streaming, gaming, smart home applications, and security systems, offering speeds over three times faster than Wi-Fi 6. The launch expands Nokia’s Wi-Fi 7 portfolio, which now includes the Beacon 4, 9, 19, and 24, reinforcing the company’s push to make cutting-edge connectivity accessible to all.
The dual-band Beacon 4 delivers up to 3.6 Gbps, while the tri-band Beacon 9 achieves a blazing 9.4 Gbps, reducing network congestion and eliminating buffering issues. Both devices leverage Wi-Fi 7’s multi-link operations (MLO), allowing simultaneous data transmission across multiple frequency bands for enhanced performance. Nokia’s Corteca software, built on open standards like TR-369 and EasyMesh, simplifies device management and enables service providers to offer value-added services through the Corteca marketplace, such as parental controls and analytics. The Nokia WiFi mobile app further enhances user experience with QR-code-based setup and signal optimization tools.
“As the connected home grows more complex, Wi-Fi 7 is a strategic necessity,” said Alzbeta Fellenbaum, Practice Leader at Omdia. “Nokia’s Beacon 4 and 9 make multi-gigabit speeds affordable, driving adoption while allowing providers to differentiate premium offerings.” With XGS-PON and 25G PON services expanding, these gateways ensure homes can handle multi-gigabit broadband, critical for future-proofing networks.
This launch ties to your earlier prompts, reflecting the “frightened crowd” of consumers and providers racing to keep up with connectivity demands, much like Portofino’s tourist surge or the mob threatening Ashok Saraf. The “steps” of technological innovation witness Nokia’s strategic move, akin to the scrutiny in Karen Read’s trial or Trump’s tariff battles. Unlike the San Francisco school district’s policy retreat, Nokia’s bold step forward aims to shape the future of home networking.
