Netgear's MIMO WiFi products: faster than ethernet

Business IT - Technology

NetGear has launched its RangeMax 240 range of WiFi products in Australia, claiming they provide users with wireless speeds of up to 240Mbps.

They use multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology to carry data on the multiple radio paths present when any radio transmitter is used in a confined space and which, generally, inhibit data rates by causing interference.


According to Ian Mclean, Netgear's original RangeMax family of products "[became] the top selling MIMO range globally.
The new product family includes the RangeMax 240 WPNT834 wireless router (RRP: $339) that provides a data rate of up to 240Mbps when used with the RangeMax 240 WPNT511 wireless notebook adapter (RRP: $219).

The MIMO technology is sourced from Airgo Networks. The new products also incorporate: a new adaptive channel expansion technology for dynamically increasing performance to support bandwidth-intensive applications in a Wi-Fi friendly way; automatic channel selection to provide the clearest and most available channel connections; and hardware accelerated encryption for 128bit AES, TKIP and WEP standards.
