Belkin brings to consumers its new Wireless G Plus Multiple-in Multiple-out (MIMO) line, giving them wider wireless Internet coverage. Powered by Airgo Networks’ True MIMO technology, Wireless G Plus MIMO is a smart radio technology that enhances the 802.11g wireless standard by providing increased speed, coverage, and reliability for wireless systems.

True MIMO is a smart-antenna technique that uses multiple radios and antennas to transmit and receive wireless signals. It reaches a step further than other smart-antenna technologies by transmitting separate signals on each radio through multiple antennas. As a result, Belkin’s G Plus MIMO products with True MIMO technology create a robust wireless connection while providing a larger coverage area with the bandwidth and quality of service needed to run advanced applications, such as streaming video or Voice over IP (VoIP).

Ideal for homes with multiple wireless-enabled computers, Wireless G Plus MIMO provides a wider coverage area for downloading music from the Internet, sharing photos and gaming online. Its design helps combat distortion and interference, allowing the Belkin products to send data streams farther and more reliably.

Benefits:

*Up to 1000 ft. wireless range.

*10x faster wireless speed than 802.11b.

*Improved resistance to interference from neighboring Wi-Fi systems and other 2.4GHz devices.

*Improved performance with 802.11b and 802.11g devices whether employed at the client, AP, or both.

*Does not drop to the lowest common networking speed in mixed-mode environments.

*Seamless compatibility with 802.11b and 802.11g.
