WiFi 6E also offers improved security to guard against unauthorized access and malware attacks.

Crystal-Clear Communication
The AI noise-cancelation feature leverages artificial intelligence to eliminate background noise for both input and output audio to ensure crystal-clear communication, even in noisy environments. ExpertCenter PN42 supports popular communication platforms including Microsoft Teams, Skype, Slack, and Zoom.
