Leading networking manufacturer SMC Networks recently announced that they will be rolling-out a new family of 802.11g wireless networking products that leverages MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technology.
MIMO speeds data transmission, improves reliability and increases range of Wireless Networks by using multiple transmitter and receiver “smart” antennas that send and receive multiple data streams simultaneously. MIMO enabled products accelerate communication, download or upload of large files, audio or video streaming and a host of other bandwidth intensive applications.
SMC's first family of MIMO-enabled 802.11g wireless networking products will include a broadband router, a Cardbus adapter and a PCI adapter. The SMC Barricade 802.11g MIMO Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router (SMCWBR14-GM) is a platform-independent multi-functional router that combines a 4-port 10/1000 Mbps dual-speed switch with Automatic MDI-MDIX feature and a high speed 54Mbps wireless access point. Wireless connections are secure, with support for 802.1x for authentication, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2), MAC address filteringand 64/128-bit Wired Equivalent Provacy (WEP), as well as Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)firewall, network management and support for Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through.
The SMC EZ Connect g 802.11g MIMO Wireless Cardbus Adapter (SMCWCB-GM) and the EZ Connect g 802.11g MIMO Wireless PCI Adapter (SMCWPCI-GM) enable computers and other network-capable devices to connect to an 802.11g, b, or g-MIMO network. Both include SMC's EZ installation Wizard for quick and easy set up. Both adapters also include a WLAN utility that scans for all available wireless networks, with profile management that allows users to save names and settings of multiple networks.
In the Philippines, SMC Networks products are being distributed by leading IT distributor MSI-ECS Philippines.
