Whether you’re streaming a show at home, catching up on emails in a busy café, or navigating downtown business and shopping districts, reliable connectivity matters everywhere. Spectrum is making these everyday activities easier for Spectrum Mobile customers by updating the Spectrum Mobile Network to feature outdoor WiFi access points with state-of-the-art WiFi 7 features and functionality.
The Spectrum Mobile Network is already being upgraded in several cities across California, Hawaii, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas, and Spectrum Mobile customers in these markets are seeing faster speeds and improved reliability – especially in high-traffic areas like restaurants and entertainment venues where heavy device usage can strain other mobile networks.
“Unlike competitors that rely on cellular technology, we use approximately 45 million secure WiFi access points nationwide to keep our Mobile customers connected,” said David Kerr, Senior Director, Engineering with Spectrum. “Our network is built for the people who use it, and that means they can expect a seamless and consistent customer experience.”
A Better Mobile Experience, Wherever You Are
Customers count on their connection for seamless streaming, gaming and productivity everywhere they go. Spectrum’s outdoor WiFi 7 access points make it easier for them to stay connected. The upgraded technology uses Standard Power on the 6 GHz frequency band for more consistency, increased capacity, faster response and fewer interruptions – even at greater distances – letting Spectrum deliver faster wireless speeds.¹
Here's how it works: When you’re near a Spectrum WiFi access point, your Spectrum Mobile phone seamlessly connects to WiFi 7 – no customer action needed. Your device switches to the strongest available network as you move from your home to having dinner at your favorite restaurant or attending a concert. Only Spectrum Mobile devices can connect to the Spectrum Mobile Network, which takes advantage of America’s most reliable 5G Network.2
Building the Future of Connectivity
The current expansion is just the beginning for Spectrum. The Company plans to deploy outdoor WiFi 7 6 GHz access points across its footprint, along with CBRS access points, making it easier for Spectrum Mobile customers from Los Angeles to Louisville and Orlando to Oshkosh to stay connected with confidence, anywhere they go.
