Zyxel’s portfolio of reliable, cutting-edge fiber infrastructure solutions and wireless technologies is designed to provide ISPs with reliable, high-performance, and cost-effective solutions for the fiber access layer of their networks. The solutions being highlighted at WISPAMERICA 2025 include a new aggregation switch that provides 100G uplinks, 25G/10G downlinks, and advanced Layer 3 features, a Combo XGS-PON and GPON cards and an advanced WiFi 7 access point that incorporates Smart Antenna and MLO technology for optimal reliability and performance in high-density wireless environments.

New Flagship Aggregation Switch Provides High-Speed, High-Density Fiber Connectivity

Zyxel will showcase its flagship switch, CX4800-56F 48-port 25G/10G L3 Aggregation Fiber Switch with 8 100G Uplinks. Designed to support the growing demands of enterprise and data center network infrastructure, the 56-port layer 3 switch features 48 x 10GbE/25GbE SFP28 ports and 8 x 100GbE QSFP28 uplink ports. CX4800-56F features a new RJ45 console port that ensures compatibility with common Cisco and H-series console cables for seamless integration into existing network environments. The switch supports network AV mode and Layer 3 Access standard features and can be remotely monitored and managed using Zyxel’s Nebula Cloud (NCC).

XGS-PON Line Cards Provide Options for GPON to XGS-PON Transitions

Compatible with Zyxel’s IES4204 Series 2U 4-slot Temperature-Hardened Chassis MSAN/XGS-PON OLT, OLC3416B-IA 16-port GPON Line Card and OLC3816-IA 16-port All-in-One PON Card allow service providers to deploy triple-play services and freely choose uplink types to adapt to existing infrastructures. A Combo PON that supports multiple PON formats, OLC3816-IA allows ISPs to use the same line card to support both new customers at XGS-PON speeds and legacy customers at PON speeds.

Smart Antenna and MLO Combine to Maximize WiFi 7 Performance, Connectivity, and Reliability

Next-generation WiFi 7 access points, such as Zyxel’s WBE660S BE2200 WiFi 7 Tri-Band NebulaFlexPro Access Point, incorporate both Smart Antenna and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology to provide lightning-fast speeds and increased capacity in crowded RF environments. Zyxel’s upcoming fixed wireless access (FWA) WiFi 7 product features MLO, which enables simultaneous data transmission across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands, and Smart Antenna technology, which uses an antenna array to automatically adapt antenna patterns that optimize WiFi performance. The combination of the two technologies ensures reliable WiFi connectivity, increased capacity, and optimal coverage across diverse scenarios and mounting options.

Service providers interested in learning about the features and benefits of Zyxel’s upcoming FWA WiFi 7 solution can book an appointment to receive a preview of the product at WISPAMERICA.
