Press Release
All
D-Link Wireless N products on
the market are 802.11n
ready
London,
10
April 2007 - D-Link, the end-to-end networking
solutions provider for consumers and business, today announces the
support of
the IEEE 802.11n draft version 2.0 specifications by future firmware or
driver
update.
Version 2.0
of the 802.11n specification has been
approved by the IEEE Working Group, moving the increasingly important
new
wireless technology a step closer to its standardization which is
anticipated
in early 2008.
The draft
2.0 approval guarantees that no further
hardware changes will be required for the approval of the final
standard. This
means all D-Link's products sold to date can be upgraded to the final
standard
via software upgrades.
Currently
all of the D-Link Wireless N routers and
clients are compliant with the 802.11n draft version 1.0 specification,
and
following the recent draft 2.0 approval, D-Link will aim to provide
firmware
upgrades in the near future to upgrade all products sold to date.
"Since
launching our Wireless N range in Europe, we
have won over 40 independent reviews and awards - a tremendous
recognition for
the quality of our products"
explains Minthia von Wiarda,
European Marketing Manager
D-Link Europe. "We are confident this new technology will take wireless
networking to another level and D-Link's Wireless N range will offer
customers
the best wireless performance, reliability, and value for money -
combined with
easy intuitive installation and a reassuring 11 years warranty. "
