Bring modern networking capabilities to your Sinclair ZX Spectrum with the SpectraNext WiFi Network Interface.

SpectraNext is the successor to the well-known Spectranet and has been developed for all official Sinclair ZX Spectrum models from the 48K onwards. It connects directly to the computer's expansion port and features an integrated pass-through connector, allowing additional expansion devices to be connected simultaneously.

The interface is fully backward compatible with the original Spectranet, making it a direct replacement while adding modern wireless networking functionality.

Instead of using a wired Ethernet connection, SpectraNext communicates via WiFi, allowing compatible ZX Spectrum software to access network services over modern wireless networks.

One of its key features is the automatic handling of encrypted HTTPS connections. HTTPS traffic is transparently decrypted by the interface, allowing compatible ZX Spectrum applications to communicate with modern websites without implementing HTTPS support themselves.

Please note that SpectraNext is a hardware interface. To use its networking features, compatible ZX Spectrum software is required.


Features

• Compatible with all official Sinclair ZX Spectrum models from 48K onwards
• Successor to the original Spectranet interface
• WiFi networking instead of wired Ethernet
• Fully backward compatible with Spectranet software
• Integrated pass-through expansion connector
• Automatic HTTPS handling for compatible applications
• Ideal for modern networking applications on retro hardware


Typical Applications

• Add wireless networking to your ZX Spectrum
