FS has introduced a campus networking system that combines Wi-Fi 7 access points with PicOS switches and centralized management software. The announced platform is designed for enterprise environments transitioning from Wi-Fi 6.
Why it matters
The system addresses enterprise demand for increased wireless capacity by allowing organizations to implement Wi-Fi 7 capabilities while retaining existing cabling and switch infrastructure. It targets environments requiring dense throughput through scalable, software-defined upgrades.
The architecture supports high-speed connectivity options including 2.5G, 5G, and 10G access. It leverages PicOS, a programmable network operating system, to facilitate template-based deployment and telemetry-based analytics.
The players
FS
A provider of high-speed communication hardware and network infrastructure solutions.
The details
The platform utilizes AmpCon management software to provide centralized oversight, including Zero-Touch Provisioning, a method for automatically configuring network devices, and deep network visibility. Security is reinforced through 802.1X authentication—a standard for port-based network access control—and policy-based access controls. Additionally, hardware-based trusted boot ensures that devices only execute authorized, verified code during startup.
Timeline

The Tech Race
This release follows the industry-wide shift toward Wi-Fi 7 integration in professional environments. It positions FS to compete for enterprise contracts by emphasizing a gradual migration path rather than requiring a complete infrastructure overhaul.
Enterprises can begin planning for the integration of Wi-Fi 7 access points within their existing network switch environments. The upcoming AmpCon-Campus 3.0 release is scheduled to eliminate additional licensing fees for management software.
The takeaway
The platform offers a practical path for legacy networks to reach multi-gigabit throughput. Watch for the release of AmpCon-Campus 3.0 to confirm the impact of the reported licensing fee reduction.
