Linksys on Monday announced a new line of 802.11g Wi-Fi products, including a router, a notebook adapter, and a PCI-based wireless adapter for desktops, that promises to boost wireless performance in home and small business WLANs by as much as 35 percent.
All three devices include what Linksys dubbed "SpeedBooster," technology built on Broadcom's Afterburner, to increase wireless data transmission speeds and throughput.
SpeedBooster-equipped products will deliver the faster speeds, said Linksys, a division of router and switch maker Cisco, while its backward-compatible support for traditional 802.11b/g gear -- including that made by other manufacturers -- will automatically downshift the hardware to match slower speeds.
The trio also sports new support for additional security protocols, including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and IEEE 802.1x.
Linksys' SpeedBooster line will be available in late April, at prices of $129.99 for the router, and $99.99 for the notebook and PCI adapters.
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
