New 802.11g 54Mbps MIMO products bring the speed, range and bandwidth advantages of MIMO, with full backward compatibility with standard 802.11b/g

SMC Networks a leading technology provider of LAN hardware, broadband connectivity devices and SOHO/Home wireless products, announced the availability of its new line of 802.11g 54Mbps MIMO wireless networking products, the SMC Barricade g 802.11g 54Mbps MIMO Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router (SMCWBR14-GM), the EZ Connect g 802.11g 54Mbps MIMO Wireless Card bus Adapter (SMCWCB-GM), and the EZ Connect™ g 802.11g 54Mbps MIMO Wireless PCI Adapter (SMCWPCI-GM) in India.

MIMO (multiple input, multiple-output) technology 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.

The latest MIMO-enabled family of networking products is ideal for the home and small office providing the speed, coverage, and security that today's demanding users seek. Based on an advanced Ralink MIMO 802.11g chipset, the IEEE 802.11g-compliant S

MC MIMO product set enables speedy data transfer up to 20 times faster than older 802.11b wireless networking devices in MIMO-to-MIMO communication.

Using antenna bundling instead of channel bundling, it minimizes the potential channel conflict with other wireless networks in the area substantially. The router also supports "Smart Antenna Technology" that provides a better performance for the full covered area up to 300 meters. At the same time, the products are 100% backward compatible with standard 802.11g and 802.11b devices, and can even increase performance in mixed-mode (802.11g MIMO and 802.11g or b) networks. Thus, accelerating communication, download or upload of large files, streaming audio and/or video and a host of other bandwidth-intensive applications.

Anchoring the family, the new SMC Barricade g 802.11g 54Mbps MIMO Wireless Cable/DSL Broadband Router (SMCWBR14-GM) is a platform-independent multi-functional router that combines a 4-port 10/100 Mbps dual-s
