Hong Kong Broadband Network (HKBN) and TP-Link have reinforced their partnership to launch an upgraded version of the Priority Plus one-stop home wifi product.
Leveraging TP-Link’s wifi cloud management platform, Aginet, with HKBN’s GigaFast broadband services, this collaboration can enhance the home network experience.
Alongside the mass rollout of its GigaFast broadband services, HKBN has upgraded Priority Plus to Wifi 7. This upgrade features TP-Link’s Aginet routers, designed for internet service providers. These routers come equipped with the Aginet TAUC unified cloud management system, providing seamless real-time network monitoring and management to assess the health status of each user’s wifi network proactively. When network anomalies are detected, the system automatically intervenes to identify and correct issues, eliminating the need for additional on-site inspections.
“Today’s customers increasingly demand superior internet experiences,” said Elinor Shiu, CEO of HKBN. “They want performance, reliability and convenience. With TP-Link’s advanced Wifi 7 technology platform, we unleash our GigaFast broadband backed by our dual money-back guarantee as part of an all-encompassing package that takes care of everything from optimised router placement to 24/7 remote support and intelligent network management, making life easier for households.”
Raymond Chan, general manager of TP-Link in Hong Kong and Macau, added: “Our TP-Link Aginet unified cloud platform was developed in anticipation of users’ growing demand for greater stability and reliability. By integrating TAUC with HKBN’s advanced network, users can now enjoy an unparalleled network experience that’s smarter and easier to manage than ever before. We look forward to this collaboration to drive internet service in Hong Kong to all new heights.”
