TRENDnet has started shipping the Wireless N-Draft Router (TEW-631BRP), PC Card (TEW-621PC) and PCI Adapter (TEW-623PI) products to partners worldwide. The advanced speed and range of the new technology is designed to support multiple high-bandwidth data streams in the home or office. To manage the increasing demand of multimedia traffic across the network, the TEW-631BRP will include StreamEngine Technology by Ubicom, which helps prioritize traffic to reduce potential lag or jitter with streaming applications such as VoIP, music, video and gaming. Combined with expanded range and throughput of the Atheros’ XSPAN chipset technology, users can avoid potential interference and enjoy streaming multimedia content reliably throughout their home.

TRENDnet’s Wireless N-Draft family of products is based on the IEEE 1.0 Draft 802.11n specifications and is intended to deliver greater speed and range than 802.11g and 802.11a/g products and handle the increasing bandwidth demands of multimedia applications. By combining Ubicom’s StreamEngine QoS traffic prioritization technology with advanced MIMO antenna range and 40Mhz channel speed, TRENDnet’s draft family more closely conforms to the specs in the IEEE 1.0 draft.

Also, development of TRENDnet’s new Wireless N-Draft family has focused on assuring peak performance and compatibility with legacy 802.11b/g solutions and competitive solutions based on other silicon chipsets. Since the majority of the current 802.11n 1.0 draft hardware is based on Broadcom and Atheros chipset technology, recent independent testing between Atheros’ XSPAN and Broadcom’s Intensifi AP and client adapter solutions show enhanced, reliable performance between the two chipset platforms. The positive compatibility testing results provide more assurance to customers that once they buy a TRENDnet Wirelss N-Draft product they have the highest likelihood of achieving peak performance with existing WiFi equipment currently in use.

In addition to the wireless speed and range enhancements, the Wireless N-Draft Router (TEW-631BRP) also provides advanced security for the network with Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) for secure wireless traffic, Rule-Based Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall (SPI) protection against unwanted hacker attacks and multiple Internet access control filters.
