RangeMax 240
Netgear is introducing RangeMax 240 routers and adapters that use MIMO technology developed by Airgo. The equipment is designed to increase the transmission speeds of wireless LANs to 240 Mbps. This allows concurrent use of VoIP, streaming audio, and video. The range and throughput achieved with this equipment is almost five times greater that that achieved by deploying the 802.11g wireless networks. It enables users to access data at high speed anywhere in the premises.
Businesses can use the RangeMax 240 to replace wired Ethernet networks and be able to hold a video conference anywhere in the office. According to Airgo, the True MIMO Gen 3 chipset is twice as energy efficient as the Intel Centrino chip. It consists of one processor and two integrated radios. MIMO technology employs multiple antennas at the two network points. This curtails latency and boosts bandwidth.
