TRENDnet Boosts WiFi Performance with Super G MIMO Product Family


TRENDnet's New 108Mbps Super G Wireless Family Offers Up to 800% More Coverage and 8X the Speed of Regular 802.11g

TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 14 -- TRENDnet, a best-in-class networking manufacturer of wired and wireless networking solutions today announced it is shipping its next generation 108Mbps Super G Wireless family with MIMO Smart Antenna technology. The products and Average Selling Prices reflect the following: TEW-611BRP Router - $109.99, TEW-610APB Access Point - $129.99, TEW-601PC PCard - $79.99, and TEW-603PI PCI Adapter - $79.99.

The Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) Smart Antenna Technology delivers faster speeds at farther distances. MIMO uses multiple transmitters and receivers to send identical data along different paths finding the fastest, most reliable wireless connection possible. By having multiple radio transmitters and antennas, the range and strength of the signal is increased, not only for Super G MIMO clients, but for regular 802.11b/g clients as well. As a result, current WiFi users will experience performance improvements without the need for a dual-end MIMO solution.

The intelligence behind the antenna solution is often described as "beam forming." The router receives feedback from the client adapter and has the ability to focus the direction of the signal around potential interference. This adaptive transmitting feature helps provide a more reliable signal at extreme ranges.

"The install base of 802.11 WiFi users has grown rapidly over the past couple of years, so it is important to ensure backward compatibility with previous standards," stated Pei Huang, President of TRENDnet. "The Super G MIMO product line delivers better performance for both Super G MIMO and existing 802.11b/g users. The new line provides assured compatibility and helps protect previous technology investments."

The new MIMO Router and Access Points support Traffic Shaping Quality of Service (QoS) which prioritizes multimedia traffic such as Online Gaming, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and multimedia audio/video streaming. These high bandwidth applications require a fast and reliable network connection. Combined with 108Mbps Super G speed, the new family is ideal for multimedia enthusiasts.

In addition to the new Super G line, TRENDnet is also launching its Super G and Super AG wireless product families. All of the new Super G products are based on the Atheros platform with the goal of increasing compatibility, range, reliability and security for TRENDnet wireless users.
