D-Link Delivers Simplified High-Speed Whole Home Wi-Fi System
February 14, 2017
Covr Wi-Fi Solution Brings Ultra-Fast and Reliable Wi-Fi to Every Corner of the Home
Dubai, THE UAE, February 14, 2017 —
D-Link Corporation, a global leader in connectivity solutions for small, medium and large enterprise business networking, today announced a new whole-home Wi-Fi solution, the Covr Wi-Fi Kit (DKT-883). The Covr Wi-Fi Kit is a simple, intelligent solution that uses a high-performance router and seamless extender to create a single network with ultra-fast speeds and reliable connectivity, to even the farthest reaches of a home.
While other mesh network solutions rely on multiple access points, D-Link’s Covr Wi-Fi Kit (DKT-883) uses a premium router as the backbone of the wireless network. The router provides the advanced features and speed needed to power bandwidth intensive activities like 4K streaming and gaming on multiple devices. Combined with seamless extenders (DAP-1655) to cover hard to reach areas, Covr delivers a Wi-Fi signal to all areas of the home including upstairs, basements and backyards.
“D-Link’s Covr technology transforms the traditional router-extender solution to an easy to use Wi-Fi solution that eliminates the hassles of traditional Wi-Fi while blanketing an entire home with a reliable, fast signal,” said Sakkeer Hussain, Sales & Marketing Manager, D-Link Middle East & Africa. “Covr is a breakthrough system with advanced networking features designed to address today’s home Wi-Fi needs.”
D-Link’s line of Covr products utilize award-winning Wi-Fi solutions with self-organizing network (Wi-Fi SON) features from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, to simplify networking and deliver exceptional whole-home coverage. “With consumer demands for better broadband experiences on the rise, it’s important for OEMs and technology providers to collaborate effectively on the right challenges,” said Gopi Sirineni, Vice President, Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “D-Link’s new Covr device, armed with our Wi-Fi SON solution, is designed to ensure consumers will have a seamless, reliable and high quality experience throughout their home now and into the future.”
As more devices are added to a Covr network, its intuitive features take away the complexity of managing a home wireless network. Smart Steering technology works to balance the load between the 2.4 and 5GHz wireless bands. Covr intelligently prioritizes activities and steers devices between bands as more devices connect, making sure each device has optimal performance. Covr, unlike a traditional router-extender solution, creates a seamless network with a single network name (SSID) which allows users to move throughout the home while devices automatically connect to the strongest signal, eliminating the need to disconnect and reconnect. Additional Seamless Extenders (DAP-1655) can be added to the DKT-883 Wi-Fi Kit to expand coverage in larger homes.
Covr Wi-Fi Kit Key Features:
- MU-MIMO Technology: Efficiently handles large groups of concurrent users
- Seamless Connectivity with Wi-Fi SON:
- Smart Steering: Devices automatically connect to the router and range extender depending on which networking device provides the optimal Wi-Fi signal
- Dynamic Adaption: Load balancing to ensure the 2.4GHz and 5GHZ bands are optimized
- 11AC Wireless Speeds: AC2600 Dual-Band MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router (DIR-883) – 4x4 11ac with up to 1733Mbps on the 5GHz band and 800Mbps on 2.4GHz band for maximum throughput with less interference
- AC1300 Gigabit Wi-Fi Extender (DAP-1655) – 2x2 11ac with up to 867Mbps on the 5GHz band and 400Mbps on the 2.4GHz band
- Easy Setup: Router and Extender come pre-paired out of the box for simple setup
- Backwards Compatible: Supports legacy devices and Wi-Fi standards (802.11n/g)
- Dynamic Adaption: Load balancing to ensure the 2.4GHz and 5GHZ bands are optimized
