Amazon has announced exciting new offerings from its eero brand that promise to enhance connectivity for both homes and small businesses. With the introduction of eero Signal and eero PoE 7, users can expect improved accessibility, reliability, and security in their internet services, essential for today’s digitally-driven environment.
Small business owners often face challenges with internet connectivity, especially during outages or when dealing with high-bandwidth demands. Nick Weaver, CEO and co-founder of eero, assures that these new devices are designed precisely to meet these needs. “With tens of millions of eero devices powering homes and businesses across more than 27 countries, we know how fast and reliable connectivity has to be for households to enjoy downtime whether it’s streaming movies and shows or playing online games with friends, make remote work easy, and keep point-of-sale systems online,” he states.
The first product, eero Signal, is a device that serves as a lifeline during internet outages. Available in both 4G and 5G models, it plugs into any USB-C powered eero on a network compatible with Wi-Fi 6 and above. When an outage occurs, eero Signal detects it and uses a cellular backup connection to maintain the network. This feature could be invaluable for small businesses that rely on internet connection for sales and communication. Annual eero Plus subscribers will benefit from up to 10 GB of backup data at no additional charge during outages. For businesses that encounter frequent disruptions, an eero Plus 100 plan offers a more robust 100 GB of backup data per month.
The second innovation, eero PoE 7, is well-suited for businesses that need robust wired internet infrastructure. This device is a multi-gigabit tri-band Wi-Fi 7 access point that provides speeds up to 9.4 Gbps, supporting up to 200 connected devices and covering up to 2,000 square feet. The eero PoE 7 not only supports high bandwidth but also integrates into smart home systems as a hub for Matter, Thread, and Zigbee technologies.
For professional installers, eero is rolling out additional services that allow them to offer eero Plus and eero Business subscriptions to their clients. This capability enables installers to provide enhanced security features and reliable internet backup options during setups, making eero solutions even more appealing to small business owners seeking comprehensive networking solutions.
Pricing for eero Signal is set at $99.99 for the4G LTE model, available early next year on eero.com, Amazon.com, and through select internet service providers. The 5G version, priced at $199, is expected to be available in 2026. Meanwhile, eero PoE 7 will retail at $499.99, launching in November through select ISPs and professional installers, along with online platforms.
The practical applications of these devices are clear: small businesses can now ensure consistent connectivity even during internet outages and experience enhanced performance with high-bandwidth tasks. This reliability is critical for maintaining productivity and operational efficiency, especially for businesses that depend on constant internet access for transactions, communications, and remote work capabilities.
However, potential challenges may arise for small business owners considering these new offerings. The eero Signal requires an existing primary internet connection, which means that businesses in areas with unreliable internet service might find it less beneficial. Furthermore, the annual subscription costs associated with eero Plus and eero Plus 100 plans need to be factored into a business’s budgeting, especially if internet outages are infrequent.
eero’s commitment to making Wi-Fi easy to use and manage aligns well with the challenges many small businesses face today. As Weaver emphasizes, reliable and fast connectivity is not just a convenience—it’s a necessity.
With its continued advancements in connectivity solutions, eero is setting a new standard for how small businesses can approach their networking needs, positioning itself as a critical ally in creating seamless and resilient digital workspaces.
