Playa
Vista, Calif., August 3, 2011 – Do more,
with more devices, in more locations with Belkin’s new line of wireless routers
now available in Canada. Engineered with MultiBeam technology for maximum speed
and coverage, the new routers showcase Belkin’s dedication to high-performance
networking solutions and were confirmed by The Tolly Group, a leading
independent IT testing organization, to outperform leading
competitors.
All of
Belkin’s new routers feature MultiBeam, an exclusive technology that provides
greater throughput at greater distances. That translates to higher data rates,
faster speeds, and stronger wireless signals throughout the home to minimize
dead spots and enable you to connect multiple devices in more places. The Belkin
N600 DB and N750 DB routers also feature dual-band channels to eliminate
interference and optimize performance for bandwidth-intensive applications such
as high-definition video streaming.
Each router
also features Belkin’s Easy Setup, a simple process for getting the router out
of the box and online in three easy steps, and pre-configured encryption
settings for built-in wireless security.
AVAILABILITY
The Belkin
N150, N300, N600, and N750 DB routers are available now in Canada at major
retailers and at Belkin.com.
