Los Angeles, Friday, 28 February 2025.
Comtrend has launched WiFi 7 ONT and Ethernet Gateway, providing ultra-fast speeds with features like MLO and TWT, poised to redefine broadband service levels for providers.
Next-Generation Technology Specifications
On February 27, 2025, Comtrend unveiled two groundbreaking products: the GRG-4355 WiFi 7 ONT and PRT-7301 WiFi 7 Ethernet Gateway [1]. These devices incorporate cutting-edge features including 320 MHz channels and 4096-QAM technology, enabling multi-gigabit speeds for demanding applications like ultra-HD streaming and cloud gaming [2]. The solutions implement advanced Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and Target Wake Time (TWT) capabilities to optimize network performance and reduce latency [3].
OpenPON Integration and Service Provider Benefits
A key innovation in Comtrend’s new offerings is their full support for OpenPON architecture [1]. This open-architecture approach enables service providers to maintain flexibility in their fiber deployments while avoiding vendor lock-in [2]. The solutions are specifically designed to reduce operational costs through comprehensive remote management tools, creating new revenue opportunities for service providers through managed WiFi services [3].
Market Availability and Industry Impact
The products are scheduled for sampling in Q2 2025 [1], aligning with the broader industry’s push toward next-generation connectivity solutions. These developments come at a crucial time, as demonstrated by Comtrend’s participation in the Broadband Forum’s PON Plugfest event from February 24-28, 2025, where industry leaders gathered to test interoperability of XGS-PON technologies [4].
