D-Link Shipping the DWA-525 Wireless N Desktop Adapter
Designed with usability in mind
Over the past couple of years, D-Link has managed to turn itself into a fairly big name on the networking solutions' market, rolling out pretty much every type of device there is on this segment, ranging between routers and access points (plus, as some of you might remember, they've also tackled the CE market, launching a couple of streaming media players back at CES 2010). And now, one of D-Link's branches, D-Link Middle East (or ME, as it's also known), has released the brand new DWA-525 a Wireless-N 150 desktop adapter, which will really comes in handy for easily connecting a desktop solution to a wireless network. According to D-Link, its DWA-525 is a single-antenna wireless N desktop adapter that delivers data at speeds up to 150 Mbps. Compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards, this device provides extended coverage and reception in comparison to 802.11b/g standards, providing better range to reduce wireless dead spots. The DWA-525 also includes Wi-Fi Multimedia and Power Save QoS support to prioritize media traffic while conserving battery power in smaller devices. For additional convenience, the DWA-525 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to quickly secure and set up a wireless network. This gadget includes 64/128-bit WEP encryption and WPA/WPA2 security to protect user networks and wireless data. "Higher transmission speeds have become essential for smooth operation in a number of today's newest multimedia applications and devices," said Harrison Albert, Regional Sales Director at D-Link Middle East. "The DWA-525 allows consumers to utilize the high speed that wireless N provides all at an affordable price."
