Wi-Fi is the workforce of the internet — carrying the vast majority of mobile data traffic and powering the connected devices Americans rely on every day. Behind that performance are cable broadband providers, investing in fiber-rich networks and advanced technologies that make fast, reliable Wi-Fi possible in homes and businesses nationwide.

Projected number of connected devices in an average household in 2030
Today, the typical household already supports around 25 connected devices — from smartphones and laptops to smart TVs, security systems and appliances. As that number nearly doubles this decade, robust Wi-Fi and next-gen fiber networks will be essential to power the always-connected home.

Next-generation Wi-Fi speeds demonstrated
Spectrum and Broadcom recently demonstrated peak Wi-Fi speeds approaching 10 Gbps to a single device by combining the full 6 GHz band with additional lower 7 GHz spectrum — highlighting the performance potential of next-generation wireless connectivity powered by cable broadband networks.
