the capacity to surf the web, enjoy multiple streams of high definition video,
listen to digital music collections and make Internet phone calls - all at the
same time, a Linksys statement said.
Commenting on the launch, Sanjeev Gupta, Regional Sales Director, Asia
Pacific, said, “A substantial number of products for both homes and businesses
will soon depend on compatibility with Wireless-N to reach their full potential.
Because of the importance of the technology, we have taken the unique step of
conducting extensive testing with multiple vendors to ensure that the greatest
possible number of them will perform at peak levels when interacting with our
802.11n products.”
Expected to become the next standard for wireless networks, the 802.11n draft
