Trendnet showcases first 802.11ac router at CES 2012

As introduced by networking chip-maker, Broadcom, recently, the 802.11ac wireless standard is the next generation of the 802.11 wireless technology with the 802.11n (or wireless N) currently being the mainstream. The new standard will initially offer up to 1300Mbps speed (compared to the top 450Mbps of the existing N standard), with the capability to scale up to 6.8Gbps in the future.

The TEW-811DR is a concurrent dual band router with a 450Mbps wireless n band along with an ultra high performance 1300Mbps wireless band. It has gigabit ports for wired connections, Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), and WWM technology, among other goodies. Look for the TEW-811DR to ship in late 2012 with an MSRP above $200.

"New 802.11ac represents a huge jump in wireless performance," stated Zak Wood, director of global marketing for Trendnet. "It will be able to easily handle a large number of wireless connections simultaneously. It will also be able to support extremely high wireless throughput at great distances from the router."
