Netgear (News - Alert) Inc., a worldwide provider of advanced, branded networking products, has announced the Wi-Fi 802.11n draft 2.0 Certification of its RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N Router – Gigabit Edition (WNR854T) and RangeMax NEXT Wireless-N Router (WNR834B).
Netgear’s RangeMax NEXT routers have been certified by the Wi-Fi alliance for adhering to industry standard tests for interoperability, the latest in security protection, and backward compatibility with previous generations of Wi-Fi gear.
The Wi-Fi Certified for 802.11n draft 2.0 program was launched June 25, 2007 to establish interoperability based on the IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 specification. The draft’s release indicates that the industry has recognized the need for 802.11n technology to satisfy consumer performance demands. The technical requirements for IEEE (News - Alert) draft 2.0 compliance include security for legacy devices with Clear Channel Assessment (CCA).
The certification authorizes that Netgear’s RangeMax NEXT products connect and interoperate with other Wi-Fi certified products. Additionally, all RangeMax NEXT 802.11n Draft 1.0 products are firmware upgradeable to the IEEE Draft 2.0 specification. All other Wireless-N products from NETGEAR are currently being tested and will soon be available, easily identifiable by the Wi-Fi Certified logo.
A May 2007 report published by Dell’ (News - Alert)Oro Group, a reliable source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, showed that shipments of Draft-N wireless routers and client devices exceeded $150 million since the products became available in 2006.
