AUSTIN, Texas -- Buffalo Technology, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of wireless and wired networking, storage and memory solutions announced today it is the first WLAN vendor to make available via retail the highly anticipated IEEE 802.11n draft specification Wi-Fi solutions. The products are immediately available online at http://www.pcconnection.com and include the AirStation(tm) Nfiniti Wireless Router and AP (WZR-G300N), the AirStation(tm) Nfiniti Wireless PCI Adapter (WLI-PCI-G300N) and the AirStation(tm) Nfiniti Wireless Notebook Adapter (WLI-CB-G300N).

The latest additions to Buffalo's high-performance line of wireless networking solutions are designed to far surpass the speed and performance of current Wi-Fi solutions, including those with speed and range enhancing technology. With the ability to produce data rates near 300Mbps, the new 802.11n draft specification products are ideally suited for applications that demand greater bandwidth such as VoIP or high definition video. Buffalo's new products also boast improved stability for wireless streaming, increased security and enhanced wireless range.

Buffalo's new products comply with the newly approved 1.0 draft status. Task Group N of the IEEE 802.11 committee unanimously approved on January 19, 2006 a joint proposal to amend the IEEE 802.11 standard by adding specifications such as MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) and 20Mhz and 40Mhz channels, which will ultimately increase wireless network connection speeds, to as much as 600Mbps by the time the standard is ratified. Draft 802.11n also offers compatibility with any legacy 802.11b/802.11g WLAN device. The IEEE expects to ratify the standard in 2007. Buffalo has worked closely with the IEEE and leading wireless chipset manufacturers to ensure superior performance and compatibility with existing Wi-Fi solutions. The company's new wireless solutions are based on the Intensi-fi(tm) draft 802.11n chipset by Broadcom.

"Buffalo was a pioneer of 802.11g technology, being first to market with superior, forward-looking solutions that revolutionized and defined a new lifestyle, which includes hot spots, wireless gaming and wireless streaming of multimedia content throughout the home or office," stated Morikazu Sano, senior vice president of global marketing at Buffalo Technology. "The market has been waiting for techno-savvy solutions that complement their bandwidth intense digital lifestyles. We are thrilled to make these products immediate available to our customers, allowing us to once again set the pace for the next-generation of WLAN solutions and immediately offer customers the speed, stability and security necessary to handle any modern-day application."
