Coverage and signal strength determine the quality of the wireless networking service, and Nology, a specialist in supplying and supporting broadband and networking solutions, says that it is meeting demands for superior service with the introduction of its Billion 7300M router.
Says Riaan Leuschner, MD at Nology: "The 'gap' between hard-cabled and wireless network is closing fast with the introduction of new technology that improves the data transfer rate of information and wireless coverage. The Billion 7300M router's Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology for wireless networks is a case in point."
"MIMO technology makes use of multiple antennae that create an additional 'path' for data, enabling the device to send and receive signals simultaneously. In addition, MIMO creates stronger signals, extending the range of the wireless network and switches to channels that feature less interference. It also reduces 'dead zones', areas where there is no frequency due to interference or a lack of a signal, among other reasons. Strength of signal is further enhanced with the built-in Wireless Distribution System (WDS), providing repeater functionality that expands the network without wires."
Quality of Service (QoS) technology is incorporated into this router, prioritising traffic and eliminating data congestion that slows down the speed of the network, he adds.
The Billion 7300M router features ADSL2/2+, a next-generation standard of ADSL broadband that is designed to deliver higher speeds (downstream speeds of 24Mbps) and to support services such as video - all of which will hopefully be available in SA shortly. This router is backwards-compatible with the regular ADSL standard currently available and provides transfer speeds of 8Mbps, Leuschner concludes.
