Midco yesterday announced the launch of Beyond Gig 3.0 and Wi-Fi 7, bringing faster internet speeds and the latest wireless technology to customers across its service area.
Building on years of investment through Midco’s Fiber Up initiative, the launch gives customers access to enhanced broadband performance designed to support today’s connected homes and businesses.
“Beyond Gig 3.0 is about turning our network investments into a better experience for customers,” said Emma Fox, vice president of product management at Midco. “We’ve spent years strengthening and expanding our network. Now we’re delivering speeds and technology that help customers see and feel the difference.”
As part of the launch, Midco is introducing a new 4 Gig x 1 Gig internet tier in eligible markets, doubling the company’s previous maximum download speed in those areas and expanding access to multi-gig connectivity for customers.
The new offering is designed to meet increasing customer demand for bandwidth-intensive activities such as streaming, online gaming, remote work, video conferencing, and connected smart-home experiences.
“Connectivity is the foundation for nearly every digital experience,” said Bill Chatwell, senior vice president of technology at Midco. “Beyond Gig 3.0 and Wi-Fi 7 build on our Fiber Upgrade investments and reflect our commitment to staying ahead of customer demand by delivering faster speeds, greater capacity, low latency, seamless responsiveness, and exceptional reliability that will define the next era of broadband.”
Bringing Wi-Fi 7 to homes and businesses
Midco is also introducing Wi-Fi 7, the latest generation of wireless technology, as an option across its internet delivery platforms.
To help customers maximize performance throughout their homes and businesses, Midco is offering new Wi-Fi 7 access points and desktop extenders designed to provide:
- Faster wireless performance
- Lower latency and reduced lag
- Improved coverage
- Fewer extenders needed throughout the home or workplace
- Better support for connected devices
Residential customers can access Wi-Fi 7 equipment through self-installation, professional installation or store pickup options, depending on availability. Business customers will continue to receive professional installation to ensure equipment is optimized for their network requirements.
More value for customers
As part of the rollout, residential customers with internet speeds of 1 Gig or higher will be eligible to receive Wi-Fi 7 equipment at no increased cost. Customers with speeds below 1 Gig who use Midco Wi-Fi will be able to upgrade to Wi-Fi 7.
For business customers, new Midco Business Wi-Fi Pro installations will include Wi-Fi 7 equipment as the standard offering. In addition, customers with 5 Gig Midco Fiber service can now add Business Wi-Fi Pro for the first time.
The launch represents another milestone in Midco’s commitment to delivering industry-leading connectivity and ensuring customers can take full advantage of the applications and services they use every day.
“From our Fiber Upgrade investments to next-generation Wi-Fi technology, this launch showcases the strength of our network and our commitment to helping customers get more out of their digital lives,” Fox said.
