Up to 2.8Gbps – Over Twice the Speed, Ideal for Real-Time and High-Load AI Environments

As ultra-high-resolution streaming services, cloud gaming, and other high-bandwidth applications such as VR become increasingly mainstream, and as the development of AI drives soaring demand for real-time data processing and high-performance networks, faster and more stable connectivity has become essential.

KT (CEO Young-Seop Kim, www.kt.com) announced on the 4th that it is launching the “KT WiFi 7D,” the first Wi-Fi router supporting the Wi-Fi 7 standard among Korean telecom providers. The KT WiFi 7D was unveiled for the first time at MWC25.

The standout feature of the KT WiFi 7D is its data processing speed of up to 2.8Gbps (gigabits per second), which is more than twice as fast as KT’s previous routers. Leveraging multi-link operation technology that simultaneously connects two Wi-Fi bands (2.4GHz and 5GHz), it minimizes latency and efficiently handles high-load AI-related tasks. The router also enhances security with support for the latest standard, WPA3.

Alongside the technological upgrade to Wi-Fi 7, KT has completely reimagined the router’s design. Moving away from the conventional mechanical design with exposed antennas and frequently blinking LEDs, the KT WiFi 7D adopts a minimalist look with built-in antennas. A soft LED glow from the bottom intuitively communicates network status while serving as an interior design element.

The KT WiFi 7D has been recognized for its design excellence by winning a series of prestigious global design awards, including Germany’s Red Dot Design Award and iF Design Award, Japan’s Good Design Award, and the European Product Design Award.

Meanwhile, KT set up the internet infrastructure at its MWC25 exhibition booth using the KT WiFi 7D, allowing visitors to experience firsthand the ultra-connected world KT envisions.

Kwon Hee Keun, KT Marketing Innovation Division Director at KT, said, “We are proud to be the first among Korea’s major telecom providers to showcase a Wi-Fi 7 router on the global stage of MWC25. With its unmatched speed and sleek design, the KT WiFi 7D is expected to deliver the best possible internet experience in the AI-driven era that demands fast and reliable data processing.”
