NETGEAR and AT&T Business Expand Collaboration with Nighthawk 5G M8 Pro Mobile Hotspot

NETGEAR’s fastest, most reliable Wi-Fi 7 hotspot launches exclusively for AT&T Business customers, expanding availability to retail customers in 2027

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTGR), a global leader in intelligent networking solutions designed to power extraordinary experiences, today announced the Nighthawk® 5G M8 Pro, its most advanced Wi-Fi 7 mobile hotspot, now available to AT&T Business customers in North America. Pairing AT&T’s nationwide high-speed 5G network with NETGEAR’s wireless hardware, the M8 Pro serves business customers who need dependable connectivity at work sites and remote professionals who need high-performance connectivity on-the-go.

For business teams, field crews, and first responders, NETGEAR engineered the M8 Pro to create a more secure, ultra-fast mobile Wi-Fi network that connects up to 64 devices at once. All-day battery life, simple touchscreen controls, and NETGEAR Insight for remote cloud management keep teams connected on job sites, at command posts, and anywhere wired broadband is unavailable or unreliable. AT&T retail customers who travel or work remotely will get the same high performance when the device reaches AT&T stores early next year.

“From co-launching the world’s first commercial mobile 5G device in 2018 to delivering connectivity during major disaster relief efforts, AT&T and NETGEAR have consistently pushed what next-generation networks can do,” said Jonathan Oakes, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Home Networking at NETGEAR. “With the Nighthawk 5G M8 Pro, we’re giving AT&T customers 5G speeds, robust security, and seamless Wi-Fi 7 coverage wherever the job takes them, and bringing the same to retail customers early next year.”

Key features of the NETGEAR Nighthawk 5G M8 Pro include:

• Flagship AT&T 5G & Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Performance: Connects to multiple 5G signals at once to deliver fast, steady internet, even in crowded places or remote locations. Powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ X85 5G Modem, it connects up to 64 devices with local wireless speeds up to 5.8 Gbps across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands to video call or transfer files simultaneously without lag or buffering.
• Business-Grade Security: Eliminates the security risks of open, untrusted public Wi-Fi by creating an isolated, highly secure private network for field personnel. Protected by WPA2/WPA3 business-grade encryption, an isolated guest network, built-in stateful firewall defense, and secure boot with signed firmware, IT teams can help protect corporate data and devices remain safe.
• FirstNet® Ready: Certified for use on the FirstNet network, which gives first responders and those who support them dedicated coverage and capacity. First responders using the M8 Pro will have dedicated coverage and capacity when they need it and unique benefits like always-on priority and preemption.
• Centralized Cloud Management: With NETGEAR Insight, business teams can remotely configure, deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot every M8 Pro in the organization from one dashboard. Field teams stay connected, and support costs stay down.
• All-Day Battery Power: Equipped with a removable, long-lasting 5,185 mAh Li-ion battery designed for up to 12 hours of continuous use, complete with hot-swap capability so teams can replace fresh batteries without operational downtime.
• Easy Touchscreen Control: Equipped with a 2.8-inch color touchscreen interface, the device enables users to check connection status, monitor data usage, manage connected clients, and adjust network preferences directly on the device.

“As demand for high-speed, more secure mobile connectivity grows, expanding our years-long collaboration with NETGEAR allows us to deliver the best possible experience to our AT&T Business customers,” said Nazanin Hoglund, assistant vice president of mobility devices and converged products, AT&T Business. “The Nighthawk 5G M8 Pro harnesses the power and reach of AT&T’s nationwide 5G network alongside NETGEAR’s innovative hardware performance, giving our commercial workforce and consumer customers an unparalleled hotspot experience.”
