IRVINE, Calif.-Linksys, a division of Cisco Systems Inc., announced it began shipping next generation Multiple Input, Multiple Output wireless G broadband routers and PC cards, offering throughput that’s up to 10 times faster and offers three times more range than standard wireless G.
The company explained that its SRX400 products are based on MIMO technology, which is a key component in the upcoming wireless 802.11n standard, and that by overlaying the signals of two wireless G compatible radios, MIMO has the capacity to double data transfer rates. Further, Linksys said the maximum wireless data rates of the SRX400 exceed the capabilities of the traditional wired Ethernet 10/100 data ports in place on most computer networks.
“With the WRT54GX4 and WPC54GX4, users can utilize the fastest wireless technology available today to stream digital entertainment content around their homes, make business and personal phone calls using Voice over IP, and enjoy greater range than ever before,” said Mani Dhillon, director of product marketing at Linksys.
