Wider coverage MIMO™ products now available at an affordable price

 

(West Gosford, NSW) – 20 June, 2006Belkin brings to consumers its new Wireless G+ MIMO line, giving them wider wireless Internet coverage.

Its design helps combat distortion and interference, allowing the Belkin products to send data streams further and more reliably.
