D-Link Announces WiMAX Router

D-Link—an end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumers and business—today announced entry into the WiMAX consumer premise equipment (CPE) market with an 802.16-2005 (formerly 802.16e) compliant WiMAX router designed for service providers looking to offer wireless residential service at rates competitive with wire-line technologies.

The D-Link WiMAX router combines both WiMAX and Wi-Fi technologies to offer an all-in-one solution for in-house wireless coverage with easy installation and remote management features for service providers. The router is an ideal, cost-effective alternative for delivering a fast and secure broadband connection to consumers who are not reachable by DSL or Cable broadband services.

No prices as of yet, but the WiMAX Router will be available for service provider testing in Q4, 2006. Products will be commercially available in the first quarter of 2007.
