ZyXEL Announces MIMO-N High Speed Wireless Product Line

ZyXEL has announced its MIMO-N product line; a new series of Draft 802.11n-compliant wireless networking products. The MIMO-N series features throughput speeds of up to 300mbps and includes StreamEngine technology powered by Ubicom, as well as Network Magic's personal network management features from Pure Networks.

ZyXEL's MIMO-N product line delivers ultra fast wireless speeds to support multiple bandwidth-intensive applications, stability for high-definition video streaming, and extended range to provide consistent connectivity throughout the LAN. ZyXEL's MIMO-N series is a natural extension of their existing XtremeMIMO product line. Building on the success of their MIMO solutions ZyXEL has now introduced the first series of products based on EWC Draft 802.11n technology.

ZyXEL's MIMO-N series includes the NBG-415N Wireless Broadband Router, the NWD-170N Wireless Cardbus Adapter for laptops, and the NWD-370N Wireless PCI Adapter for desktops. The MIMO-N product line is powered by the Atheros Draft 802.11n XPAN chipset which provides throughput speeds of up to 300Mb/s and flexible deployment options. The NWD-370N comes with one 5dBi and two 2dBi removable antennas and the NBG-415N is packaged with three 2dBi removable antennas. Speed and coverage are bolstered by Draft 11n Wireless and MIMO Smart Antenna technology, which pinpoints the best method for connecting with a client. This increases performance by up to 8x over existing 802.11g, eliminates dead zones and increases range and throughput speeds for wireless network communications. Wi-Fi Multimedia for wireless QoS is also included which offers "traffic smoothing" for guaranteed performance when multiple applications are running simultaneously.

In addition, the MIMO-N Wireless Broadband Router also features a USB port for Windows Connect Now (WCN), which makes it effortless to add new wireless devices, such as digital media players and printers, to an existing wireless network or to create a new network. The new router offers built-in StreamEngine technology powered by Ubicom which instantly prioritizes applications to reduce latency and boost network efficiency, making it ideal for Online gaming, VoIP, Internet radio and other high bandwidth applications. Pure Networks' Network Magic is an award winning software that makes it easy to configure and manage a home network and protects the network from would be intruders.
