At CES 2026, Synamedia revealed a strategic collaboration with HUMAX Networks and RocNet Supply to deliver a pre-validated, turnkey Wi-Fi 7 broadband offering that integrates directly with the Synamedia Gravity orchestration platform. Synamedia is positioning Gravity as a practical speed layer for broadband operators that want to roll out Wi-Fi 7 without getting bogged down in the usual integration grind. Instead of each service provider stitching together gateways/mesh hardware, provisioning systems, management tools, telemetry pipelines, and support workflows from scratch, Gravity is an orchestration backbone that can plug into a pre-integrated ecosystem. By combining HUMAX Networks Wi-Fi 7 devices with RocNet Supply distribution/enablement, providers can launch services faster and with fewer surprises. The key point is not just faster hardware availability, but an integrated device-to-operations chain: standardized onboarding, repeatable configuration templates, and service lifecycle management that aims to shrink deployment cycles from months to weeks.
What makes this pitch especially relevant in the Wi-Fi 7 era is the added complexity of tri-band designs, multi-link operation, more dynamic channel behavior, and a larger variety of in-home networking topologies, all of which can drive up support costs if providers lack deep visibility and automated troubleshooting. Gravity’s emphasis on TR-369 (a standards-based management approach) is meant to reduce lock-in while enabling a consistent way to manage multi-vendor CPE fleets. On top of that, Gravity’s AI-assisted orchestration and operational automation, using device telemetry to support zero-touch provisioning, proactive diagnostics, and fewer truck rolls, positions the platform not only as a way to deploy Wi-Fi 7 faster, but also as a way to keep Wi-Fi 7 service quality high at scale with less manual intervention.
“The broadband industry is ripe for disruption; gone are the days where legacy device management models slow innovation,” said Patricia Kellaghan, senior director of product management for Synamedia Gravity. “Synamedia Gravity eliminates vendor lock-in which was previously unavoidable, making it easier than ever for North American service providers to scale and improve device management across manufacturers, launch services and strengthen customer experiences. And by combining our agentless, open architecture with solutions from HUMAX Networks and RocNet Supply, AI-powered orchestration for Wi-Fi 7 deployments will deliver swift results for our collective customers.”
