U.S. Robotics has introduced its new wireless MAXg product family, which the company says provides up to 50 percent greater range and 40 percent faster throughput over standard 802.11g products.
Users install MAXg technology with U.S. Robotics’ SureStart installation wizard; the program includes improved security measures.
"For the first time, users can expect secure, whole home or office coverage from the MAXg product line compared to other 802.11g devices on the market today," says Jim Thomsen, senior product manager of U.S. Robotics. "Where standard 802.11g devices typically operate up to 150 feet indoors, MAXg is capable of delivering an extended range up to 225 feet and maintaining faster wireless connections at greater distances in typical home and small business environments. This eliminates many so called ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ spot issues."
The MAXg line does not require a proprietary environment, U.S. Robotics says. The product family includes a router, USB adapter, PCI adapter, PC card and wireless access point.
