Router promises 300 Mbps WiFi
Nology has introduced Billion’s 7300N all-in-one router based on the second draft of the 802.11n standard.
Optimised for South African home and small office, home office (SoHo) users, the router provides broadband access with ADSL, or configured Ethernet WAN (EWAN).
Essentially, one of the router’s Ethernet LAN ports can be configured as a WAN interface for connecting to an external broadband modem for a service such as WiMAX or iBurst.
The 7300N delivers the ability to use the device as an 802.11n ADSL modem with router or as a broadband router. This allows users to switch their broadband service type without needing to replace their hardware, delivering a significant cost saving not to mention convenience.
The 7300N features an integrated draft 802.11n Wireless Access Point which offers speeds of up to 300 Megabits per second (Mbps).
"The second draft of 802.11n is ideal for indoor coverage as it aims to overcome physical obstacles usually associated with wireless connectivity in buildings," explains Riaan Leuschner, managing director at Nology.
"With the Billion 7300N router, users can expect up to three times the wireless coverage of a standard 802.11b/g network device."
