According to Kevin Goulet, director of product management for US Robotics, "Installation is quick and easy. US Robotics 54 Mbps XLerator technology allows users to reach data throughput rates comparable to 54 Mbps draft standard wireless products at the affordable price of our most popular 22 Mbps Wi-Fi devices."
He added, "Our 22 Mbps family also offers 256-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy for an enhanced level of security and up to 30 percent greater range that's not available with other wireless networking equipment."
Lonny Paul, director of eCommerce, Tiger Direct, said: "In recent tests, US Robotics' new firmware upgrade actually surpassed the connectivity of other suppliers' 802.11g variants."
Through the optimisation of software and a driver update, US Robotics is providing the fastest wireless speeds available today in the 802.11b product range. This feature enhancement increases productivity by allowing faster file transfers between multiple network users. Based on advanced 802.11b silicon chip technology from Texas Instruments, US Robotics' 22 Mbps product family remains fully compatible with standard 802.11b Wi-Fi devices and interoperable with 802.11g equipment.
US Robotics' 22 Mbps wireless networking suite includes products designed for quick and easy installation and allows users to securely share Internet access, files and printers. The products are capable of networking multiple PCs without the hassle of running cables or wires, expanding an existing 802.11b wireless local area network (LAN) or creating a new wireless LAN.
