SMC debuts 108Mbps wireless networking products

SMC Networks launched its EZ Connect 108G family of wireless 802.11b/g SuperG
networking products. Based on the Atheros SuperG chipset, the entire EZ Connect
802.11g SuperG product line performs at 15 times the speed of 802.11b-when
used together, or with any SuperG-based 802.11g networking hardware. It is
fully 802.11g-compliant and so is completely backward compatible with all
802.11g hardware.

Anchoring the family, the new EZ Connect 802.11g SuperG Wireless Broadband
Router (SMCWBR14T-G) offers 802.11b/g wireless connectivity at up to 108Mbps,
with four 10/100 ports for wired connections and a fifth 10/100 port for cable
or DSL connection. 

Supporting a wireless data transmission rate that's up to 15 times faster
than 802.11b, the new 108Mbps broadband router maintains backward compatibility
with existing 802.11b and g devices. It offers more secure broadband, file and
peripheral sharing.

The SMCWEBT-G EZ Connect SuperG Wireless Ethernet Bridge provides easy setup
and flexibility. It installs and communicates without drivers, and can be
configured to serve as a wireless access point to provide network access to
other wireless 802.11g and 802.11b devices; as a repeater, through support for
Wireless Distribution System (WDS). It can extend the range of a wireless 2.4GHz
network using either a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configuration; or
as a wireless bridge, to connect virtually any Ethernet-capable device into a
wireless network.

The
new EZ Connect SuperG family of products is designed for large and growing
networks of the future. Users can increase the performance of mixed-mode
(802.11b and 802.11g) networks and other 802.11g-only networks-up to three
times more throughput in mixed-mode networks.
