Linksys Debuts Affordable MIMO Router A new addition to its award-winning SRX family	By Communications News Staff, - 14th of September 2005, 15:55 GMT Adjust text size:


Linksys announced a new addition to its award-winning SRX family of Wireless-G Broadband Routers. The WRT54GX2 Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX200 uses MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology to bring users increased speed and range at a lower price. MIMO technology, a key component in the upcoming Wireless-N (802.11n) standard, uses multiple radios and antennas on a wireless router or client adapter to provide improved performance in range and speed. By combining this smart radio and antenna technology with standards-based Wireless-G (802.11g), the WRT54GX2 has the potential to double* the range of wireless coverage compared to using Wireless-G alone. Overlaying the signals of two Wireless-G compatible radios enables the product to utilize signal reflections that confuse other technologies to increase range and reduce dead spots in the wireless coverage area. When used in conjunction with the WPC54GX Wireless-G Notebook Adapter or the WMP54GX Wireless-G PCI Adapter, the WRT54GX2 may yield up to six times better performance as Wireless-G products. This performance enhancement is greatest at the outskirts of the coverage area. Linksys SRX200 devices are Wi-Fi certified and designed to be backward compatible with 802.11b (Wireless-B), 802.11g (Wireless-G) and other Linksys SRX products. Mixed wireless environments such as networks containing SRX, Wireless-B and Wireless-G products can operate each client at its own maximum data rate based on environmental conditions. SRX products maintain their higher speed and range providing the throughput and quality of service to deliver applications such as VoIP and video streaming. The WRT54GX2 is available now through Linksys resellers including e-commerce, retail, direct response, and VAR partners at and estimated street price of $99.
