Real-time pricing for Trendnet TEW-680MB TRENDnet 450Mbps Dual Band Wireless N HD Media Bridge TEW-680MB TEW680MB Computers & Accessories Used and New Usuall Amazon: $93.99 Newegg: $93.99 CompUSA: $89.99 Buy.com: $100.24 The next step in wireless connectivity will be the IEEE 802.11ac standard, also known as 5G WiFi, which started to be developed one year ago. The goal of this forthcoming standard is to achieve transfer rates in the gigabit range. Using the 5 GHz band and three antennae, Buffalo was able to demonstrate this connection at a real data transfer rate (throughput) of 800 Mbps, with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of over 1.3 Gbps. According to this manufacturer, they will be able to release their first IEEE 802.11ac router, named AirStation WZR-1750H, by the end of the year, in the USD 200-250 price range. This router will also be backwards-compatible with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards and will have five Gigabit Ethernet ports. click to enlarge click to enlarge Print Version | Send to Friend | Bookmark Article | Comments (0)
