HKBN Launches GigaFast Broadband with Wi-Fi 7 Routers Powered by TP-Link’s Aginet Platform for the Ultimate Home Network Experience
(Hong Kong — November 28, 2024) Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited (HKBN) and TP-Link have reinforced their partnership to launch an upgraded version of the “Priority Plus” one-stop home Wi-Fi solution. Leveraging TP-Link's Wi-Fi cloud management platform, Aginet, together with HKBN's revolutionary GigaFast broadband services, this collaboration radically enhances the home network experience.
Alongside the mass rollout of its GigaFast broadband services, HKBN has upgraded its “Priority Plus” solution to the cutting-edge standards of Wi-Fi 7. This upgrade features TP-Link's Aginet series of routers, specifically designed for Internet Service Providers. These routers come equipped with the Aginet Unified Cloud (TAUC) management system, providing seamless real-time network monitoring and management to proactively assess the health status of each user's Wi-Fi network. When network anomalies are detected, the system automatically intervenes to identify and correct issues, eliminating the need for additional on-site inspections. In plain terms, “Priority Plus” offers ultra-fast speeds, supreme network stability, and a hassle-free user experience.
Elinor Shiu, Co-Owner & Chief Executive Officer – Residential Solutions of HKBN stated, “Today’s customers increasingly demand superior Internet experiences – they want performance, reliability and convenience. With TP-Link's advanced Wi-Fi 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 optimized router placement to 24/7 remote support and intelligent network management – making life easier for households."
Raymond Chan, General Manager of TP-Link Hong Kong and Macau also stated, “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.”
New customers who register for HKBN's GigaFast 5Gbps / 10Gbps service, starting at just $698 per month, along with the TP-Link Aginet EB810v router and one-stop Wi-Fi support services. Each “Priority Plus” package also comes with professional installation, 24/7 technical support, and a “one-for-one” router replacement service during the contract period. In addition, existing HKBN customers can upgrade to 5Gbps / 10Gbps GigaFast broadband service for an additional $200 up per month.
