HSINCHU, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Edgecore Networks, a leader in innovative network solutions for enterprises, data centers, and telecommunication service providers today introduces the 2026 Vision for its wireless business unit — Edgecore Wi-Fi — building an open, intelligent, and scalable infrastructure to power the next era of digital innovation.

The 2026 technology blueprint showcases a comprehensive and commercially proven platform that enables faster, smarter innovation across MSP, ISP, and enterprise networks.

Building the Foundation for the Next Generation of Networks

As enterprises and service providers look beyond connectivity toward building integrated, intelligent digital ecosystems, Edgecore Wi-Fi is preparing to redefine what infrastructure means.

In 2026, Edgecore Wi-Fi will expand its leadership in open networking with a comprehensive, full-stack portfolio that unites OpenWiFi, OpenLAN Switching, CloudSDK-enabled Controllers, IoT convergence, Edge AI, and AIOps—creating a new class of open infrastructure that is both commercially scalable and future-ready.

This is not experimental technology. It’s the infrastructure that enables real-world innovation at scale.

“The world no longer needs another network—it needs an infrastructure that can evolve with it,” said Teng Tai Hsu, Vice President of Product at Edgecore Wi-Fi. “Our 2026 portfolio reflects that vision. It combines the openness of community-driven innovation with the proven scalability required by global service providers and enterprises. We’re building not just products, but the foundation for what comes next.”

The 2026 Blueprint: Redefining Open Infrastructure

Edgecore Wi-Fi’s 2026 roadmap centers around three defining principles that capture the essence of its comprehensive open infrastructure strategy:

Commercial-Grade and Scalable

Built upon years of proven deployment experience, Edgecore Wi-Fi’s open platforms are engineered for reliability, scalability, and performance in large-scale MSP, ISP, and enterprise environments. In the coming year, Edgecore Wi-Fi will further strengthen this commercial-grade and scalable ecosystem with a broader range of new products—including diversified Wi-Fi 7 access points for indoor and outdoor deployments and an expanded switch portfolio for different network needs.

Open and Unified

Through the seamless integration of OpenWiFi, OpenLAN Switching, and CloudSDK-enabled Controllers, Edgecore Wi-Fi delivers end-to-end visibility and control across wired, wireless, and cloud management layers—removing vendor lock-in and enabling true multi-platform interoperability.

Intelligent and Adaptive

By combining Edge AI and AIOps, Edgecore Wi-Fi introduces a new level of automation and network intelligence—enabling predictive optimization, proactive fault prevention, and continuous learning at the edge. Extending beyond operations, Edgecore Wi-Fi also brings intelligence to the IoT layer through AI-powered connectivity and device management, empowering smarter, more responsive networks that seamlessly link data, devices, and decisions.

Innovation Pillars Powering the Next Wave

Edgecore Wi-Fi’s 2026 portfolio will showcase innovation across multiple dimensions of the network infrastructure layer:

AI-Driven Network Intelligence – Turning data into insights through AIOps for predictive, self-healing operations.

Converged IoT Access – Integrating Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi HaLow, Matter, BLE, Zigbee, and Thread to simplify device connectivity across smart spaces and industrial deployments, while expanding interoperability with leading cloud providers such as AWS IoT to enable seamless device-to-cloud integration and management.

Edge Intelligence Platforms – Delivering on-site processing and optimization for latency-sensitive and mission-critical applications.

Together, these innovations advance Edgecore Wi-Fi’s vision of open infrastructure—bridging performance, intelligence, and scalability into a single, future-ready platform.

First Wave of the 2026 Portfolio

The first wave of Edgecore Wi-Fi’s 2026 Open Infrastructure portfolio will debut early next year, featuring key products that embody this vision—each designed to deliver openness, intelligence, and proven scalability across diverse deployment scenarios.

EAP115 Indoor Access Point (Wi-Fi 7)

Compact yet powerful, the EAP115 delivers Wi-Fi 7 dual-radio performance with 2.5GbE uplink, BLE/Zigbee connectivity, and versatile mounting options. Designed for modern enterprises and smart spaces, it brings next-generation efficiency and integration to everyday environments.

OAP106 Outdoor Access Point (Wi-Fi 7 Tri-Band 4×4:4)

Engineered for endurance and evolution, the OAP106 combines tri-band Wi-Fi 7 performance, LTE noise filtering, and IP66/68 ruggedness—making it ideal for dense, high-interference outdoor deployments. With built-in GPS and OpenRoaming certification, it’s ready for public Wi-Fi, smart city, and carrier-grade networks.

Wi-Fi HaLow USB Dongle

Extending the reach of IoT connectivity, this plug-in module enables any Edgecore Wi-Fi access point to support long-range, low-power Wi-Fi HaLow communication—unlocking new opportunities for sensor, camera, and automation applications in wide-area and cross-floor environments.

These innovations mark only the beginning of Edgecore Wi-Fi’s 2026 journey. Over the course of the year, the company will continue to expand its open infrastructure portfolio with new solutions—including highly integrated IoT gateways that support diverse technologies and deployment scenarios, Wi-Fi HaLow–based IoT devices and peripherals, and Edge AI platforms designed to help MSPs and enterprises accelerate the return on their IoT investments.

Join the Movement Toward Open, Scalable Innovation

2026 is not just a milestone—it’s a message. A message that open infrastructure can be comprehensive, commercial, and intelligent. A message that innovation should not be confined by closed systems. And a message that Edgecore Wi-Fi will continue to lead, building the foundation for the networks of tomorrow. The future of open infrastructure begins now—let’s build it together.
