In case you are reading this, we are going to go ahead and assume you have got a pc endowed with its own wireless radio, but that does not mean it’s powerful enough to address your non-stop streaming in recent times. For folk craving more oomph, TrendNet has just announced the 1st USB adapter that promises to lift your throughput to speeds as high as 450 Mbps (due to MIMO technology) — a mighty boost over the 54Mbps or 150Mbps rates you’re used to. As a dual-band adapter, it’ll connect with either 2.4GHz or 5GHz networks and — bonus — its design is relatively discreet, too. Feel the desire for speed? It’s on sale now for $80.
TRENDnet® Launches First to Market 450 Mbps Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter
TRENDnet (5/2/2011)TORRANCE, Calif.–May 2, 2011–TRENDnet, a best-in-class wired and wireless networking hardware brand, today announces the launch of the 450 Mbps Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter, model TEW-684UB-the world’s first ultra-high performance 450 Mbps wireless USB adapter.
The 450 Mbps Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter upgrades laptop and desktop connectivity to the very best wireless performance available today. Computers purchased with integrated wireless are customarily outfitted with either 150 Mbps Wireless N and even slower 54 Mbps Wireless G technology-which bottlenecks performance to 150 Mbps or 54Mbps respectively when connecting to a 450 Mbps router. TRENDnet’s TEW-684UB is the primary wireless USB adapter that has the potential of connecting to a router at 450 Mbps speeds.
Place the adapter inside the most ergonomic location with the included three foot USB extension cable. WMM® Quality of Service (QoS) technology prioritizes gaming, Internet calls, and video streams. LEDs at the front of the adapter convey device status.
Advanced Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology with three spatial streams per antenna generates a maximum theoretical wireless throughput of 450 Mbps. Quickly connect with a 450 Mbps 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wireless network on the touch of a button, with the benefit of 1-touch Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
“Within the highly competitive Networking market space, it’s fairly difficult to be the primary to market with new technology,” stated Pei Huang, President and CEO of TRENDnet. “As a result of the dedication of all TRENDnet employees, we’ve got delivered to market, not just the primary 450 Mbps USB adapter, but in addition the 1st 450 Mbps router, 450 Mbps Ethernet adapter, and 450 Mbps access point. Now for the primary time, TRENDnet gives consumers the chance to network all in their devices to a high speed 450 Mbps network.”
The 450 Mbps Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter, model TEW-684UB, comes with a 3 year limited warranty and an MSRP of U.S. $79.99.
