The company says the new products will offer data rates up to 600Mbps using spatial multiplexing MIMO technology. Vivek Pathela, NetGear's senior director of product marketing consumer products, commended the IEEE Task Group for "drafting the 802.11n specifications and in accelerating the ratification of the standardised 802.11n specification for sometime in 2007." He added: "NetGear's technology suppliers assure that we will have ample supply of chipsets based on a draft 802.11n specification, and we are confident of our ability to commit quantities of products to our channel partners worldwide to meet customer demands...Customers will benefit from products that deliver the maximum speeds and stability that are promised by the 802.11n specification, while providing backwards compatibility with existing 11b/g networks and interoperability with other manufacturers' products." IEEE Task Group N of the IEEE 802.11 committee voted unanimously on January 19, 2006 to accept a joint proposal for high-throughput wireless networking up to 600Mbps with spatial multiplexing MIMO. |
