Belkin G+

Networking Line

Range over Traditional 802.11g
and Super 802.11g products
Wider
coverage MIMO™ products now
available at an affordable price
(West
Gosford, NSW) – 20 June, 2006 – Belkin brings to consumers its new
Wireless G+ MIMO line, giving them wider wireless Internet coverage. Powered by
MIMO technology, Wireless G+ MIMO is a smart radio technology that enhances the
802.11g wireless standard by providing increased speed, coverage and
reliability for wireless systems.
“The new G+ MIMO range from Belkin provides
users with better performance at a very cost effective price, the G+ MIMO
technology now also covers those dead spots within the home that were
previously experienced with standard 802.11 wireless networks,” said Anthony
Malone, Network Product Manager for Belkin.
Ideal for homes
with multiple wireless-enabled computers, Wireless G+ MIMO provides a wider
coverage area for downloading music from the Internet, sharing photos and
gaming online. Its design helps combat distortion and interference, allowing
the Belkin products to send data streams further and more reliably.
“Belkin G+ MIMO takes full advantage of
MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology offering consumers further
range and greater throughput than the standard 802.11g products,” said Mr
Malone.
