The announced design includes quad-band Wi-Fi 8, a Qualcomm Hexagon NPU and a five-core CPU. gFiber says some customers in its coverage area can obtain symmetrical fiber plans up to 20 Gbps; this describes access-service capacity, not a guaranteed wireless speed from the gateway.

The companies said early customer rollout would follow full certification and a 50 Gbps residential service trial is planned for spring 2027. The announcement describes a planned initial rollout subject to certification and a future trial, not a completed deployment.
