Tricolor Launches Mesh Wi-Fi System to Boost Indoor Connectivity
Russian satellite and broadband operator Tricolor has introduced a new mesh Wi-Fi system designed to stabilize wireless connectivity across the entire home, eliminating dead zones without sacrificing internet speed.
No More Dead Zones
Many apartment owners face a familiar problem: a single router cannot deliver equally strong Wi-Fi coverage to every room. Signal repeaters are a common workaround, but they often cut bandwidth in half. Tricolor’s new mesh system removes the need for such compromises.
The solution consists of several wireless modules that create a unified network, allowing devices to automatically connect to the strongest signal without interruption. One of the system’s key advantages is its universal compatibility: it can link routers from different manufacturers, meaning users do not need to replace their existing equipment.
Scalable and Easy to Manage
A base kit with two modules covers up to 100 square meters — even across multiple floors. Up to six units can be connected simultaneously, each of them auto-configuring during installation. The entire network can be managed through a single web interface.
The mesh platform supports dual-band operation at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, with speeds of up to 1167 Mbps.
“With the introduction of the mesh system into Tricolor’s electronics portfolio, we are taking another step toward offering our subscribers a unified ecosystem — from high-quality broadcasting to reliable, easy-to-manage home internet,” said Yulia Kudryashova, Head of Product and Project Management at Tricolor. “This affordable solution solves one of the most common problems for city residents — uneven Wi-Fi coverage.”
Telecom Operators Shift Toward Ecosystem Strategies
The launch further strengthens the positioning of the Tricolor Internet brand. The company has already developed a full line of networking equipment, including routers, signal amplifiers, and hotspot solutions for public Wi-Fi access.
This allows Tricolor to offer bundled services that go beyond satellite TV, extending into broadband and hybrid internet access — including satellite backup.
The move reflects a wider industry trend: operators are no longer just selling connectivity, but creating integrated digital ecosystems under a single brand. Mesh Wi-Fi systems are already offered by major vendors such as TP-Link, Netgear, and Asus. Tricolor is bringing a domestic alternative to this segment.
Expanding Product Line and Market Reach
Earlier this year, Tricolor also launched Wi-Fi 6 routers — a standard that distributes spectrum more efficiently among connected devices. Compared with Wi-Fi 5, the new routers support 2.5× faster wireless speeds, data rates up to 3 Gbps, 1024-QAM modulation, 160 MHz channel width, and technologies such as MU-MIMO, OFDMA, Beamforming, and BSS Color.
Tricolor expects demand for its mesh system not only in Russia but also across CIS countries, where seamless home Wi-Fi coverage is equally relevant. The company positions its solution as competitive against many foreign models in both functionality and price.
