USRobotics wins the best Wi-Fi device award for MAXg

Awarded by the region's top selling computer magazine, Windows Middle East, winners were selected via an online poll of the publication's readers for the first time. USRobotics' Wireless MAXg Router was rated as the top Wi-Fi device for consumers. The Wireless MAXg series empowers wireless users with the tools and devices needed for maximum performance of their network at range, plus maximum simplicity, security and speed throughout offices and homes.

'US Robotics has set an industry benchmark of sorts with the launch of MAXg. I am very delighted to note that MAXg came out on top against high profile competitors. This award has pushed us to reach for still higher standards with our products,' said Sumit Kumar, Regional Manager, USRobotics MENA.

The MAXg product series' extended range technology uses advanced digital signal processing techniques to improve a device's ability to receive wireless transmissions, enabling Wi-Fi users to maintain high-speed connections up to 50 percent further from an access point. MAXg technology is standards-compliant and certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, so users benefit from additional range in any wireless network - even if other devices do not use MAXg technology.

In addition, MAXg offers increased 802.11g performance by improving the efficiency of wireless data transmissions. Derived from standards-based techniques, it delivers greater throughput on a single wireless channel, eliminating the interference inherent in solutions that use multiple channels to achieve better performance. Although wireless networks will achieve optimal speeds in a network of all MAXg products, the technology is compatible with all 802.11b/g devices and actually enhances the aggregate performance for all Wi-Fi devices on the network.

Simplifying the entire wireless experience, USRobotics' SureStart ™ installation wizard seamlessly installs wireless MAXg adapters, routers or access points and critically configures security.
