ASUSTek last week introduced the WL-600g, a multi-use gateway incorporating ADSL modem, wireless router and ftp/printer server functions. UPnP IGD-compliant, the equipment allows devices within the WLAN to share the same IP address and simultaneously play online games and use IP phones. The WL-600g also offers a Quick Setup feature, which automatically detects local ADSL ISP settings, and Plug-n'-Share functions, via USB 2.0 ports.

The three groups originally battling over the next-generation 802.11n Wi-Fi standard have apparently reached an agreement to submit an unified proposal to the IEEE. The Joint-Proposal (JP) team formed by WWiSe, TGn Sync and MitMot members is meeting this week to finalize the specifications in accordance with the recently launched Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) led by Intel. The 802.11n standard, set to be ready by the end of the year, is expected to allow data transfer speeds of up to 600 Mbps.

Qualcomm has announced that its Mobile Station Modem (MSM) chipsets will support Philips' WLAN module. The integrated solution will offer connectivity to WLAN as well as to existing cellular networks and will feature compatibility with 802.11b and 802.11g protocols on both CDMA2000 and WCDMA (UMTS). The module allows mobile handsets to use high-speed wireless local area networks for connections of up to 54 Mb/s. Initially supported on the MSM6550 chipset, the 802.11b/g-compatible broadband capabilities enabled by Philips' solution are scheduled to be commercially available by the end of the year.

NEC has developed a mobile router that enables seamless broadband communication from high-speed vehicles such as train and cars through the employment of wireless LAN and 3G networks. In practice, this would allow a person inside a car to connect a notebook to both WLAN access points and 3G base stations when travelling at up to 124 miles per hour. NEC said though that actual products using the technology will not be available for a few years.

Intel announced it has developed a prototype of an all-CMOS direct conversion dual-band radio transceiver capable of supporting Wi-Fi standards from the 802.11a to the upcoming 802.11n. The piece contains an integrated power amplifier, but does not integrate all its elements into a single die. It uses a specific packaging to interconnect the CMOS tranceiver die with separate low noise amplifiers and the 5 GHz power one. The company believes this approach will help mantain manufacturing costs and prices low.

Samsung will ship the world's first laptops with embedded MIMO-enhanced Wi-Fi technology based on Airgo's True MIMO chipset. The X20 machines will be compatible with 802.11a/b/g. MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) improves WLAN speed by using multiple antennas to transmit multiple streams of data over a single 20 MHz channel. Connection speeds can theoretically reach 108 Mb/s. There is no information yet on X20’s availability.

Gigabyte has just releases world's first PCI desktop wireless routerIt is a card that you insert in your PC and transforms it into a wireless router, allowing you to share your broadband internet connection with other computers. You plug in your internet connection on it and all computers with wireless card on your home or office will hve internet connection. Also, it has a standard RJ45 port for you to connect it to a hub or switch (or even just anothe computer), allowing you to connect several computers to it using standard network cabling. Known as AirCruiser G or GN-BC01, here are its main features:
- Interoperability with 54Mbps (802.11g) and 11Mbps (802.11b) devices
- Single 10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN port
- Full static & dynamic routing
- Built-in DHCP server
- 64/128-bit WEP encryption, 802.1x and WPA security
- UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
- Dynamic DNS, URL blocking and VPN pass-through support
- WDS bridging
- Comes with a 3 dBi antenna (usually wireless routers use a less powerfull 2 dBi antenna).
With a suggested price of US$ 62 for the north-american market, this procuct seems to be pretty interesting for SOHO users, as you can see on the picture below.
