What it means for real-world speed, reliability and productivity
Today’s office space is no longer confined to the cubicle. The modern professional works from home, coffee shops, and shared offices. Huawei has taken note of this and come up with the new MateBook D 16, the portable productivity companion for modern lifestyle. Weighing in at just 1.68kg in its lightest configuration and measuring a slim 17mm thick, the MateBook D 16 is sleek and lightweight that you’ll barely notice in your bag but powerful enough to handle the busiest of workdays.
But what’s more interesting is how Huawei enhances the laptop with features tailored for working on the move, most notably the HUAWEI Metaline Antenna. It significantly improves the Wi-Fi performance and stability of the MateBooK D 16. With the new HUAWEI Metaline Antenna, you can finally say goodbye to your network problems once and for all.
What is the HUAWEI Metaline Antenna?
To improve the wireless performance of its laptops, Huawei decided to make use of its expertise in antenna technology. Based on the lessons learned from Huawei’s Antenna Project and its countless patents and unique designs, the team at Huawei created a revolutionary new antenna design using metamaterials.
Metamaterials are artificial materials with special structures that give them unusual properties, such as negative refraction. These metamaterials give the Metaline Antenna performance that ordinary antennas cannot achieve, like an ultra-long connection distance of up to 270 meters. To go a step further, Huawei has also eliminated the sources of Wi-Fi signal interference inside the laptop by improving its internal design.
Why does it matter?
For everyday users, this translates to enhanced Wi-Fi experience in numerous ways. First, it can increase the signal conversion rate by 70% compared to ordinary antennas, which means that it can receive and transmit more data in less time. Under the same network environment, the uplink and downlink signals are each improved by 3.5dB and 3.5dB, respectively. And when multiple people are using a network and affecting connectivity, or during online games, the Metaline Antenna can reduce the network latency by 40%. Latency can also affect Video conferencing experiences in unpleasant ways, often resulting in freezes and delays when the signal is weak. Thanks to the new antenna, the new MateBooks can maintain smooth real-time conferences even with a weak signal.
The Metaline antenna can maintain a wireless connection distance of up to 270 meters, which is equivalent to two and a half football fields. This means that you can enjoy a stable and smooth Wi-Fi connection even if you are far away from your router, or separated from the router by multiple walls, or in a crowded environment.
Moreover, it can reduce signal interference from both external and internal sources, such as walls, other wireless devices, household appliances, and even from the components within the laptop. Huawei has designed a unique filter circuit and a metal retaining wall inside the laptop, which effectively separates the antenna from the internal wiring and minimizes signal interference within the laptop.
How can the HUAWEI Metaline Antenna improve your productivity?
With HUAWEI Metaline Antenna, you can enjoy a better Wi-Fi experience in the most challenging situations. For example, if you are working from home or attending online classes, you can rely on the laptop to deliver reliable video conferencing with no freezes or delays. If you are streaming videos or playing online games, you can enjoy faster loading and smoother playback with no buffering or lag. If you are downloading large files or updating your software, you can save time with faster speeds. Even with two walls standing between you and your router, you can still attend online meetings, and download large files with no issues.
The world’s first laptop to Attain the 5-Star Wi-Fi Signal Capability Certification
The HUAWEI Metaline Antenna represents a massive technical breakthrough. But, more importantly, it is something that can make life easier for everyone. Thanks to this new antenna, the MateBook D 16 can provide you with powerful network connectivity for a smooth and enjoyable online experience.
In fact, the Huawei MateBook D 16 is the world’s first laptop to pass the 5-Star Wi-Fi Signal Capability Certification, scoring high in a series of rigorous industry standard tests. These include Total Radiated Power (TRP), Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS), ultimate reach throughput, real-world user scenario assessments, and antenna passive efficiency. Put simply, the MateBook D 16 is guaranteed to provide you with exceptional Wi-Fi performance.
