(Rushden, UK). - 29 August, 2012 - Belkin, creators of people-inspired technology products, today announced the European launch of a new line of advanced wireless routers featuring 802.11ac technology. Belkin's state-of-the-art wireless dual-band AC+ gigabit routers provide enhanced reliability and coverage, and speeds up to 2.8 times faster than current 802.11n.
The fifth and latest generation of WiFi technology, AC, creates a home network that can cope with the needs of even the busiest wireless household, enabling you to connect multiple devices so you can watch full HD movies and play the most advanced games on-line, all at the same time, without the annoyance of buffering movies or stuttering video.
Featuring Broadcom's (5G Wi-Fi) 802.11ac chip technology, the Belkin AC1000 DB and AC1200 DB deliver greater wireless speeds, making it possible to stream more content to multiple devices virtually anywhere in the home. Ideal for smartphones and tablets, AC technology enables faster file transfers when used with client devices which also support AC, reducing battery usage and making the newest introductions to Belkin's range the ideal centrepiece to any advanced home technology ecosystem.
In addition to high-speed wireless Belkin's AC Routers have a range of advanced new features, including support for IPv6 standards and intuitive parental control with three settings enabling you to keep undesirable content from your home network. The inbuilt IntelliStream technology automatically prioritises bandwidth-intensive applications, guaranteeing the highest priority to voice or video traffic so content is streamed easily and without buffering. The AC Routers also have a built-in DLNA media server that allows streaming of media to multiple devices within the home network.
"With a majority of video content being consumed on devices such as smart TVs, smartphones, and tablets instead of a home computer, today's tech-savvy families have an increasing need for simultaneous connections to multiple devices throughout their homes," said Bart Bomers, Director of Networking for Belkin EMEA. "The enhanced speed and expanded coverage of Belkin's AC routers enable users to achieve the truly seamless online experiences they crave."
