Premium MPro Mesh® for whole-home coverage

Featuring EasyMesh fully compliant Zyxel MPro Mesh® Solutions**, the Series enhances your subscribers’ experience by providing self-adapting, easy-to-manage whole-home WiFi coverage, while reducing your service OPEX.

SFP for multiple WAN options

With a built-in SFP cage module for GPON (P2M) or Gigabit active fiber (P2P), the Series can be deployed in the existing copper or fiber network infrastructure.

Dedicated 2.5GbE WAN and LAN port for Multi-Gig internet access

With one 2.5GbE WAN port, the Series is perfect for extending premium fiber service to subscribers’ homes. Besides lightning-fast WiFi 6 technology and the standard three 1GbE LAN ports, the Series is equipped with one additional 2.5GbE LAN port that satisfies subscribers’ bandwidth-intensive needs with optimized bandwidth utilization.

TR-069/TR-181 issue-2 remote management for lower OPEX

Compliant with TR-069, the Series significantly simplifies deployment complexity and lowers operating and maintenance costs. The additional support to the latest TR-181 issue-2 data model also enhances service providers’ visibility on subscriber LAN networks to offer improved customer assistance.

Zyxel OPAL firmware achieves superior flexibility and shortens time to market

Compliant with the same OPAL firmware trunk applied to all Zyxel CPEs, the Series inherits a rich, field-proven feature set for guaranteed same user experience after migrating to new devices.

Delivering secure and future-proof services with Zyxel ZyEE Linux kernel-based container

Zyxel ZyEE is a secure and future-proof Linux kernel-based execution environment, also known as a container. ZyEE creates a predictable environment isolated from other applications for software developers and service providers to develop, enable, install, and uninstall third-party applications without risking the core operating system. ZyEE’s portability and scalability enhance software development agility by providing broader compatibility with various hardware environments. In addition, the compact and structurally simple ZyEE optimizes system computing resources. With ZyEE, service providers can deliver new features to subscribers with reduced 4. time-to-market while remotely managing services through existing ACS servers.
