ASUS Announces Lyra Trio

Three-hub
mesh Wi-Fi system provides ultrafast connectivity throughout the home and
comprehensive, always-up-to date security

 Singapore,
15th March 2018 — ASUS today announced Lyra Trio, a dual-band, three-hub
mesh Wi-Fi system designed to deliver fast, secure and easy Wi-Fi connectivity
throughout the home. Featuring high-bandwidth 3×3 MIMO technology for faster
hub-to-hub communication and a unique pyramid antenna design that transmits the
Wi-Fi signal vertically as well as horizontally for better reception across
floors, Lyra Trio delivers ultrafast AC1750 Wi-Fi speeds in single and
multi-story homes of up to 5400 square feet.

Lyra Trio
provides always up-to-date protection with one-click firmware updates and
AiProtection Classic cloud-based security powered by Trend Micro™. These
comprehensive security features safeguard online privacy and protect against
internet threats for all devices connected to the network, even devices that do
not have or are unable to run antivirus software — such as connected smart home
devices. It also includes parental controls that can be configured with a
smartphone to let parents easily manage the amount of time their children spend
online.

Lyra Trio is
simple to set up and manage. The intuitive ASUS Lyra mobile app guides users
step by step through the process of creating their Wi-Fi network, and provides
notifications and troubleshooting information in the event of a network
problem.

ASUS Lyra
Trio delivers AC1750 Wi-Fi speeds to every corner of the home — even in multi-story
homes of up to 5400 square feet — so users can enjoy a smooth and seamless
connection with sufficient bandwidth for video streaming and gaming. A 3×3 MIMO
antenna design provides an additional spatial stream compared to 2×2 mesh Wi-Fi
systems, allowing Lyra Trio to handle more network traffic simultaneously —
perfect for modern households that have multiple wireless devices. The 3×3 MIMO
antenna design also maximizes the speed at which data hops from hub to hub,
ensuring users get a fast, seamless connection anywhere in the home.

The antennas
on Lyra Trio also have a unique pyramid design to transmit the Wi-Fi signal
vertically as well as horizontally for better reception and performance across
floors. This design also positions the antennas above the circuit board and
angles them at 45 degrees to ensure minimal interference for the best possible
Wi-Fi signal.

ASUS Lyra
Trio has comprehensive yet easy-to-use security features that protect all
devices connected to the network, even smart home (IoT) appliances. Modern
internet threats exist that can secretly compromise privacy and steal financial
information. To guard against these threats, Lyra Trio features AiProtection
Classic cloud-based security powered by Trend Micro™. Lyra Trio syncs with the
comprehensive Trend Micro database of malicious sites and servers, enabling it
to quickly detect online threats and block connections to these dangerous
sources without any action required by the user. If an infected device happens
to connect to the network, Lyra Trio will protect the private data on that
device as well as the data of other connected devices against compromise.

In addition
to its automatic security features, Lyra Trio also features built-in parental
controls that let users manage children’s screen time with internet
restrictions that activate at designated times. Whether it’s study time or bed
time, recurring schedules help keep children focused and develop responsible
behavior.

To keep the
network running securely and ensure connected devices are always protected,
Lyra Trio receives automatic firmware updates that users can install with one
click. Unlike other routers that charge additional fees or provide protection
for a limited time only, Lyra Trio will receive security updates for the life
of the product.

ASUS Lyra
Trio makes setting up and managing a Wi-Fi network simple. To get started,
users just need to plug in Lyra Trio and then download the ASUS Lyra mobile app
to their smartphone. The intuitive app guides users step by step through the
setup process and provides easy-to-use management and diagnostics features once
the network is up and running.

If there is
a problem with the network, the ASUS Lyra app will notify users right away. A
handy network map helps users pinpoint and rectify the issue, so they can get
back online as quickly as possible.
