OREANDA-NEWS. November 13, 2014. With people increasingly depending on Wi-Fi for watching high-definition video, uploading photos and videos, working from home, video conferencing and more, the Wi-Fi router may be the most essential yet overlooked technology in the home.

Now, Verizon FiOS customers can order the most powerful router available, the new FiOS Quantum Gateway, capable of delivering wireless download  speeds as high as 800 megabits per second  greater range within the home or business, and the ability to support a growing number of devices -- all while delivering a best-in-class experience.

Developed by Verizon and Greenwave Systems, on Greenwave’s Axon™ software platform for enabling network-based services, the FiOS Quantum Gateway delivers a whole-home network signal that ranks among the most powerful in the market to meet customers’ tech needs. Customers can immediately order the new router by visiting verizon.com/fiosquantumgateway.

High-Tech Design to Match the Nation’s Largest, High-Powered Fiber Network

The FiOS Quantum Gateway features dual-band concurrent technology that separates high-bandwidth activities like HD video streaming and online gaming from lower-bandwidth data consumption, creating a superior in-home experience. It can produce a signal that delivers download speeds up to 800 Mbps wirelessly -- nearly 1 gigabit -- and an unobstructed Wi-Fi range up to 325 feet.

“We are all bringing more Internet-connected devices into our homes and businesses,” said Guru Pai, Verizon’s senior vice president and chief product officer. “The FiOS Quantum Gateway router enhances our customers’ ability to do everything they want -- simultaneously stream videos, download and upload photos, support multiplayer gaming, and use multiple devices and enjoy content from anywhere in the home.”

Martin Manniche, CEO of Greenwave Systems, said: “We have created a service experience that benefits FiOS customers and tangibly demonstrates Verizon’s commitment to providing the best home-technology experience and solutions. Today’s consumers are moving beyond connecting only their smartphones and tablets to the Internet. They want all the things in their lives to seamlessly interact in ways that will help them achieve a truly smart, connected lifestyle. The FiOS Quantum Gateway gives FiOS customers flexibility and freedom in the home or business environment, with a wireless connected experience that rivals wired services. We are gratified that Verizon selected Greenwave as its strategic development partner, and promise more innovations to follow as we continue to strengthen our working relationship.”

Intelligently designed and boasting a sleeker look than most routers, the FiOS Quantum Gateway will be updated regularly to offer increased functionality and customer benefits. Future updates, which will be delivered seamlessly without the need for customers to do anything, include privacy and security access controls such as “guest” passwords, and device-specific access that, for example, gives users remote control of when a child’s screen time ends for the day.

Consumers are looking to get the latest devices earlier than ever this holiday season, but these devices are only as good as the network they are on. That’s why Verizon is introducing the FiOS Ultimate Quantum offer. New customers who sign up for a FiOS Triple Play, starting Nov. 2, will receive FiOS Quantum 75/75 Mbps Internet; FiOS TV Ultimate HD; and over 100 premium channels including HBO, SHOWTIME, Cinemax and STARZ. As a further incentive, new customers will also receive a USD400 Visa prepaid gift card and Quantum TV Enhanced DVR service at no additional cost for two years.
