HooRii Unveils Home Router Access Point 3.0 Solution, Revolutionizing the Smart Home Experience
Powered by Matter and Thread, Home Router Access Point 3.0 Solution Delivers Seamless Interoperability Solutions for Smart Home Users.
[HooRii Technology], [Hangzhou, China], [December 16, 2024] — Today, HooRii Technology announces the launch of its latest smart home solution, the Home Router Access Point (HRAP) 3.0 solution. Designed in accordance with the Matter 1.4 specification, this solution integrates BLE, Wi-Fi, Thread, and Matter protocols. It further optimizes the packaging and debugging of the Matter SDK and Open Thread SDK, resulting in the performance-enhanced HRAP SDK.
This solution supports a wide range of applications, including gateways, TV set-top boxes, Wi-Fi routers, and smart speakers, enabling the deployment of Wi-Fi and Thread networks for both residential and commercial use. Devices powered by the HRAP 3.0 solution offer efficient connectivity to smart devices, delivering high-speed, seamless, and reliable network.
It is worth noting that this is the first Thread Border Router (TBR) and Network Infrastructure Manager (NIM) solution that complies with the Matter 1.4 specification.
The HRAP solution is a game-changer for smart home connectivity. It enables users to control Thread and Matter devices directly via their Wi-Fi routers without additional controllers. By integrating low-power consumption and seamless device management, this solution simplifies network operations for consumers while driving innovation in the smart home ecosystem. ——Ethan Liu, CTO at HooRii Technology
Innovative Technology to Elevate User Experience
As The Verge journalist Jennifer Pattison Tuohy predicted, a Matter- and Thread-enabled Wi-Fi router can create an invisible, seamless Thread network throughout the home. This enables cross-ecosystem network sharing and allows users to control Matter and Thread devices directly via the router, eliminating the need for an additional Matter controller.
The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) has recently released Matter 1.4, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of the Matter ecosystem by formally incorporating network infrastructure devices into its framework. Matter 1.4 further expands the range of supported devices and standardizes the functionalities of network layer infrastructure for the first time, significantly enhancing device compatibility and interoperability. This refinement guides brands and ODM manufacturers in building high-performance, scalable IoT infrastructure.
Ongoing Commitment to Advancing Home Router Access Point Solutions
With the release of Matter 1.4, HooRii is proud to unveil the upgraded Home Router Access Point (HRAP) 3.0 solution. This launch is a natural progression of the company's ongoing commitment to advancing smart home technology. Over the years, HooRii has continuously explored the HRAP space, building a solid foundation of technical expertise and successfully implementing groundbreaking projects.
In 2020, HooRii Technology and its partner, launched China's first Wi-Fi 5 Mesh + Thread smart gateway. Powered by Qualcomm's Wi-Fi processor and HooRii's M5X module, this product became the first operator-grade gateway in the country to support Thread technology. After successfully passing rigorous public cloud testing, it showcased the immense potential of Thread networks for both residential and commercial applications.
Building on this achievement, HooRii embarked on an innovative project, developing a Wi-Fi 6 + Thread home router based on MediaTek's SoC. This solution integrated advanced safety features, including a smoke sensor, delivering a comprehensive smart home experience. The innovative bundle quickly gained market traction, representing a significant milestone in the large-scale commercialization of Thread networks in China.
