Belkin Pre-N 802.11n Airgo MIMO

Pre-N

Consumer demands for complete wireless coverage are now fulfilled with the announcement today of Belkin's new Wireless Pre-N Router and Notebook Network Card. Powered by Airgo Network's True MIMO technology, Belkin Pre-N products improve wireless reliability and performance, and enable users to work with high-bandwidth applications, such as audio and video streaming. This line will begin shipping in October.

What makes Belkin's Pre-N revolutionary? 4 times greater coverage than standard 802.11g 4 times greater speed than standard 802.11g Improved resistance to interference from neighboring Wi-Fi systems and other 2.4GHz devices Improved performance with 802.11b and 802.11g devices whether employed at the client, AP, or both. Does not drop to the lowest common networking speed in mixed-mode environments Seamless compatibility with 802.11b and 802.11g

Belkin utilizes True MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) from Airgo Networks in its Pre-N products. True MIMO is the first technology to address the issues of coverage, speed, and interference in larger homes and offices.

True MIMO is a smart-antenna technique that uses multiple antennas to transmit and receive wireless signals. It reaches a step further than other smart-antenna technologies by transmitting multiple signals on each antenna. As a result, Belkin's Pre-N products with True MIMO technology create a robust wireless connection while providing a larger coverage area with the bandwidth and quality of service needed to run advanced applications, such as streaming video or Voice over IP (VoIP).

True MIMO is one of the underlying technologies being considered for 802.11n, a standard in the works for the next generation of Wi-Fi technology.
