D-Link's Latest Product Updates Bring Draft 802.11n 2.0 Compliance and
'Connect with IntelR CentrinoR' Certification
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif, May 9, 2007 - D-LinkR, the end-to-end networking
solutions provider for business and consumers, today announced immediate
availability of 2.0 product upgrades for its award-winning Draft 802.11n Xtreme
NT product line. In addition to providing compliance with the latest version of
the 802.11n specification, the firmware and driver upgrades have achieved
'Connect with IntelR CentrinoR' certification to ensure compatibility and
interoperability with IntelR Next-Gen Wireless-N. The 2.0 draft of the 802.11n
specification brings the industry closer to final ratification, providing the
next set of technical requirements for enhancing existing draft 11n products.
The technical changes occurring between the draft 1.0 and 2.0 deal primarily
with the protection of the legacy devices, including the requirement for Clear
Channel Assessment (CCA), which D-Link was already offering in 1.0 products
when the protection mechanisms were still optional. D-Link's commitment to
providing the best performance and protection in the industry for both new
draft 11n and legacy 802.11b/g products has enabled the company to be first to
market with the 2.0 upgrades.

To secure the "Connect with Intel Centrino" certifications, D-Link's Xtreme N
router and wireless adapters were rigorously tested and verified for
compatibility with Intel's Next-Gen Wireless N, utilizing intensive real-world
testing conducted in typical home and enterprise environment scenarios. In
Intel's testing process, which was conducted over the period of several months,
D-Link's Xtreme N products met or exceeded Intel's requirements for
performance, extended range, co-existence with other 802.11b/g clients and
access points, and the ability to eliminate Wi-Fi dead spots.



D-Link's 1.0 products and 2.0 upgrades are based on Atheros' XSPANR draft 11n
technologies which feature legacy protection with Clear Channel Assessment.
