| DESIGN NAME: Mercku M6 PRIMARY FUNCTION: Wi-Fi Router INSPIRATION: As the number of connected home automation and IoT devices increases in homes, Wi-Fi networks will bottleneck and operate less efficiently. Mercku strives to lead the change for better home connectivity by combining the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology with proprietary innovation, transforming the way networks handle data routing and speeds without compromising aesthetics. Inspired by automotive design, the M6 AX Mesh System mimics that of fast, high-performance sports cars. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Mercku's M6 AX Mesh System represents the leap from current router solutions to Wi-Fi 6. The M6 combines next-generation technology with proprietary WHEMS antenna innovation to create a high-performance wireless router that overcomes conventional design hurdles through the unification of industrial design and engineering expertise. Housing this powerful technology is a sleek and elegant shell with integrated passive cooling vents for maximized system performance and device longevity. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The M6 AX System is backed by Mercku's proprietary WHEMS antenna system and the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology, giving users even better Wi-Fi coverage and speeds. It has a simple plug-and-play set-up that installs in minutes for any level of technical comprehension. To accompany the powerful hardware, the M6 comes with Mercku's companion mobile application and web interface that have a simple, intuitive user interface to enable users with remote access to features at any time, anywhere. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The design project began in April 2020 and was completed in December 2020. The M6 AX Mesh System was first exhibited at CES January 2021. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Digital and Electronic Device Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Mercku's M6 AX Mesh System transcends the traditional sense of boxy Wi-Fi routers with protruding antennas by unifying form and function without compromising performance. After conducting hundreds of thermal simulations, Mercku overcomes the challenge of heat dissipation by placing passive cooling channels adjacent to the main heat source. With rich silhouettes inspired by automotive design, the M6 seamlessly integrates into any home to give users a sense of high performance even when turned off. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Router Dimensions (L x W x H): 140 x 53 x 206 mm Packaging Dimensions (L x W x H): 210 x 60 x 215 mm TAGS: Wi-Fi, Connectivity, AX, Mesh, Router, Mercku RESEARCH ABSTRACT: While designing the M6 AX Wi-Fi System, Mercku conducted in-depth heat dissipation simulations and research using Flo Therm XT software. Throughout testing, the M6's product temperature was reduced by 23% compared to similar tiered products, significantly improving product stability. To optimize the M6's user experience, Mercku conducted several questionnaires to provide the design and engineering team with insights into how to make the product more user-friendly. 450 questionnaires later, the team was able to identify optimal port and button placements as well as additional software features that customers seek, incorporating them into the final design of the M6. CHALLENGE: The main challenge in minimizing router size is inadequate heat dissipation, and the failure to address it adequately can negatively impact device longevity and performance. The M6's shell design is elegant and seamlessly incorporates passive cooling vents adjacent to each side of the primary heat-producing IPQ6000 chipset. The upright design and hidden channels along the device's edges are also conducive to heat dissipation without compromising its appearance.
