CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kinetic, the leading residential and business insurgent fiber internet provider, announced today it teamed up with eero, an Amazon company, to deliver a new product for customers, Kinetic’s AlwaysOn Wi-Fi, powered by eero Signal.
AlwaysOn Wi-Fi offers seamless wireless backup connectivity to keep customers online in the event of an internet service disruption or outage. If needed, wireless service kicks in, allowing customers to stay online with unlimited data to work, surf, browse, stream, and more. It’s seamless, automatic and hassle-free.
“Internet reliability has never been more important than it is today; it’s essential to how people live, powering everything from remote work to online education,” said Stacie Vongvanith, Kinetic’s chief customer officer. “With Kinetic AlwaysOn Wi-Fi, we’re raising the bar even higher on our already reliable fiber internet so our customers can stay connected no matter what.”
The relationship with eero underscores Kinetic’s dedication to setting new standards for customer experience. The company is focused on positioning itself as a challenger to traditional cable internet by delivering better service and technology, at a better value, to its customers.
“Internet connectivity has become essential, and unexpected outages can disrupt daily life. With AlwaysOn Wi-Fi powered by eero Signal, internet outages become non-events,” said Gabe Kassel, executive vice president of product at eero. “In teaming up with Kinetic, we’re delivering a smarter, more resilient internet experience. We’re giving customers greater confidence and peace of mind when they need it most.”
Kinetic’s addition of eero Signal comes on the heels of its addition of eero Pro 7 last October, as well as its addition of the Kinetic Promise™ to its customers. The Kinetic Promise™ pledges that technicians will not leave a new fiber installation until Wi-Fi works in every area and on every device where needed. Backed by Whole-Home Wi-Fi certification, technicians use the RouteThis Certify app to optimize gateway placement, solve for any interference or congestion, and recommend Wi-Fi extenders to deliver connectivity in hard-to-reach spaces.
