According to industry innovator Airgo Networks, Inc, they announced that NETGEAR, Inc will ship in the world of consumer wireless networks are fast solution based on third-generation Airgo True MIMO chipset technology, the transition to the needs of greetings - speed, long-distance, wireless networks support new multimedia applications that require huge demand for bandwidth. In NETGEAR wireless product line called RangeMax 240, consists of router products, USB products for top service and a PC workstation, and a small adapter cards for laptops. All of these products support True MIMO Gen3 with data transfer rates up to 240Mbps, providing consumers faster than wired speeds over a wireless network, nearly five times the speed of some ordinary wireless networking technologies on the market today.


Since most wireless users may be concerned with the frequency of licensing, they will be confident that products featuring Airgo MIMO Gen3 True, 802.11a/b/g compatible with the protocol, thus operating in the license-free 2.4GHz (for most Countries) frequencies. Henceforth, it can be used with any other 802.11 device on the network.

Theoretical analysis has shown that RangeMax can work with data speeds of up to 240Mbps, but in the real world have shown that the third generation Airgo True MIMO actually represents the actual throughput of 120Mbps, at least with uncompressed traffic. Nevertheless, it clearly exceeded the performance of a wired 100BaseT Ethernet network. The truth is Airgo MIMO Gen3 chipset actually functions fully integrated single chip with two complete radios, to achieve further aggressive board-level integration, resulting in a 15% reduction in the overall Bill of materials (BOM), and costs up to 20% reduction in energy consumption. NETGEAR in RangMax technology also has the unique capability to adapt to changing wireless condition with RangeMax 240 dynamically changing its channel to avoid interference from neighboring wireless networks, thus maintaining a reliable, high-performance, the telecommunications services for customers.

The new advanced True MIMO ™ Gen 3 technology Airgo Networks uses spatial multiplexing to stream multiple data streams into a single channel, new Adaptive Channel Expansion ™ (ACE ™) technology for dynamically increasing performance to support bandwidth applications in Wi-Fi friendly way, and the automatic channel choice for the best and most accessible channels. In addition, it also offers full speed hardware accelerated encryption for the 128 bit AES, TKIP and WEP standards, as well as the latest quality of service (QoS) mechanisms for video, voice and audio.

Safe and easy to use, contains NETGEAR RangeMax 240 popular SmartWizard ™ Installation Assistant and the promotion Updating firmware simplicity in installation and management, and enable automated retrieval and installation of firmware update. NETGEAR's "Touchless" Wi-Fi Security provides a simple interface allows users to easily set up and connect to a secure network using standards-based Wi-Fi network security, including Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA - PSK and WPA2-PSK).

With the growth of home and office wireless network users, NETGEAR RangeMax 240 provides for the next generation wireless devices, the promotion of long-term, dynamic self-optimization, high-speed wireless networks. This product line is likely to be represented on the market in early 2006. Keep a lookout for these products cool if you want high-speed Wi-Fi networks at home.
