For Immediate Release
Shah Alam, 1 August 2024 – TIME dotCom (“Time”), a leading provider of high-speed fibre Internet in Malaysia, is making WiFi 7 technology available to its Home Fibre customers. This exciting development establishes Time as the first Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Malaysia to offer WiFi 7 devices with its existing Internet plans, putting the future of home connectivity within reach for all.
Time’s Commitment to Elevating Customer Experience
The launch of WiFi 7 builds on Time’s continued dedication to elevating the home Internet experience. It follows recent initiatives like the introduction of invisible microfibre FTTR (Fibre-To-The-Room) technology, free speed upgrades for 100Mbps and 500Mbps subscribers to 200Mbps and 600Mbps, respectively, and the introduction of 12-month contract plans with a focus on short-term flexibility.
Time’s latest WiFi 7 devices deliver unparalleled speed, capacity and stability, translating into smoother online experiences for everyone, from casual browsing to smart home automation. New Time subscribers will receive a free WiFi 7 device free on selected plans, whereas existing Time users can purchase it as an upgrade.
“Time has always been dedicated to providing our customers with the best possible Internet experience in the home,” said Ignatius Lee, Time’s Chief Executive Officer of Retail Business.
“By offering the latest WiFi 7 technology free of charge with our 600Mbps and 1Gbps plans, and also available for purchase separately, we’re empowering our customers to unlock the full potential of their Internet connection and future-proofing their homes in an increasingly connected world.”
What is WiFi 7?
As the latest generation of wireless networking, WiFi 7 builds upon the foundation of WiFi 6, promising to revolutionise the home Internet experience by:
- Unlocking Higher Speeds
Think of data as trucks. WiFi 7’s 4096 QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) allows more parcels to be packed into one truck, meaning more information can be sent faster. This translates into faster downloads, smoother streaming and a more responsive online experience. - Increasing Capacity
No more fighting for bandwidth! Multi-RU (Resource Unit) in WiFi 7 acts like a multi-lane highway with varying lane sizes. This helps allocate resources to up to 128 devices efficiently, which means you won’t have to worry about too many devices jamming up the lanes. - Improving Stability
Say goodbye to lag spikes with Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology in WiFi 7. MLO intelligently manages your WiFi bands, allowing devices to connect to multiple bands simultaneously to avoid congestion. Enjoy a consistently stable and reliable Internet experience, no matter what.
Experience the Future of WiFi With Time
While WiFi 7 routers are available at premium prices, Time makes it easy and accessible to upgrade your home network with the latest technology.
Get it for free: Customers subscribing to 600Mbps or 1Gbps plans on a 24-month contract receive a complimentary WiFi 7 router.
Affordably upgrade: New 200Mbps subscribers can upgrade their router to WiFi 7 for only RM99.
