The increasing number of devices within the average home has drastically boosted the need for better connectivity capabilities, which is exactly what the new Nokia Beacon 1 aims to deliver. Positioned as a lower cost alternative to other mesh router systems, the unit utilizes an accompanying smartphone app to be easily set up for use without the need for any complicated onboarding. A single unit will provide up to 1,500 square feet of connectivity coverage, while two units will double this number and three will provide 4,500 square feet of ultra-fast connectivity.
The Nokia Beacon 1 mesh WiFi router is priced at $129 per unit, which positions it as a more affordable option than other networking equipment on the market with similar specifications.
