Altice Rolling Out Upgraded Home Wi-Fi System

Altice unveiled a mesh residential Wi-Fi system, which it said Wednesday allows simultaneous connectivity of more devices to the strongest signal. It said SmartWiFi simplifies network connections with one network name, obviating the need for selecting between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz points, with mesh network technology to eliminate dead zones and better band and access point steering. It said SmartWiFi is rolling out to new and existing Altice One customers in its Optimum footprint in the New York City region and will be available soon in Suddenlink regions.
