***D-LINK Launches Super G With MIMO Wireless Networking Using
Smart Antenna Technology to Boost Speed and Range Multiple Input,
Multiple Output Smart Antenna Technology Enhances Throughput Data
Rate and Range While Remaining 100% Backward Compatible with
802.11g/b Products

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.
Jan. 18

D-Link has introduced a new standard-based 802.11g WiFi line of
wireless products with a revolutionary smart antenna wireless
networking technology that delivers breakthrough performance with
up to eight times effective power over traditional 802.11g/b
wireless networks. The new D-Link Super G with MIMO line of
networking products incorporate beamforming and receive-combining
technology to significantly boost the performance and range of a
new wireless network while offering 100% backwards compatibility
and support for existing 802.11g and 11b devices.

D-Link Super G with MIMO enhances the speed and range of a
wireless network through Smart Antenna technologies including
beamforming, a technical capability to directionally focus the
wireless signal at an angle towards the intended client. As
opposed to a more omni-directional wireless transmission that
generally propagates to the same range in all directions,
beamforming will allow the signal to focus towards the target
device recipient and allow the signal to propagate further ranges
in that direction.

On the receive side, the optimal receive combining technology
uses advanced signal processing to ensure that the incoming
signals in the D-Link Super G with MIMO implementation are
reassembled with the highest combined strength for maximum
throughput. Even with non-MIMO enabled wireless products, the D-
Link Super G with MIMO solution will give increased performance
to current D-Link Xtreme G and AirPlus G families of product
continue to gain the benefits of our Super G with MIMO Smart
Antenna Technology.

The D-Link Super G with MIMO implementation is not only more
compatible, but also offers the most cost effective design,
resulting in a lower overall price point to consumers while
yielding better performance. Using beamforming, D-Link Super G
with MIMO operates at the highest possible speeds while
delivering a strong 11g signal to legacy 11g and 11b devices for
unsurpassed performance and throughput.

D-Link's Super G with MIMO solution features robust security to
protect the wireless network from intruders, complying with the
latest wireless networking security protocols, including WEP
encryption and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). The products are
also capable of supporting the government-grade AES encryption,
an integral component of the latest IEEE 802.11i security
standard.

D-Link's Super G wireless networking solution includes the Super
G with MIMO DI-624M Wireless Router with 4-port switch and the
Super G with MIMO DWL-G650M Wireless CardBus Adapter.

Availability

The D-Link Super G with MIMO wireless products will be available
in mid February through authorized retail, reseller, and
distribution partners at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
MSRP of $149.99 for the D-Link DI-624M, an MSRP of $99.99 for the
D-Link DWL-G650M.
