Netgear introduces new weather resistant Orbi outdoor satellite

Netgear has introduced the new Orbi Outdoor Satellite. 

“Australians want seamless WiFi, whenever and wherever they need it, no matter whether it’s inside or outside the home,” said David Henry, Senior Vice President of Connected Home for Netgear.

“It is frustrating to go into the garage or the backyard and to have your WiFi connection drop. By adding the Orbi Outdoor Satellite to your Orbi WiFi System, you’ll enlarge your WiFi coverage to reach the farthest corners of your property, enabling endless hours of outdoor entertainment. So now, whether you’re tuning into the Boxing Day test outside on your phone, ushering in the New Year with the latest tracks from Spotify under the veranda, or just enjoying the warmer nights outside with some ambient mood lighting, Orbi Outdoor has you covered.”

The satellite connects to any Orbi Tri-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System or Orbi Pro Tri-Band Wi-Fi System for Small Businesses and extends Wi-Fi coverage outdoors.

The new Orbi Outdoor Satellite inherits the capabilities of the Orbi Whole Home WiFi System, including a single network name for seamless roaming, a dedicated third channel for data exchange between the satellite and router, and a separate and secure Guest WiFi network.

The new satellite will also adopt the characteristics of Orbi Pro for Small Businesses when added to that network, such as guest and employee traffic separation and a dedicated admin network.

The Orbi Outdoor Satellite is available now for $549.
