Tags:
April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. Robotics today announced the addition of new wired and wireless devices to complete its existing line of networking products. The U.S. Robotics 10/100 Ethernet PCMCIA Adapter, U.S. Robotics 5-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch, U.S. Robotics 11 megabits per second (Mbps) Wireless Cable/DSL Router and U.S. Robotics 11 Mbps Wireless Universal Serial Bus (USB) Adapter deliver complete, wired and wireless, Plug-and-Play networking solutions for the home, small office/home office (SOHO) and the small- to medium-sized business (SMB) markets. The products were debuted at RetailVision, April 15-18, Anaheim, Calif.U.S. Robotics' 10/100 Ethernet PCMCIA Adapter allows users to easily connect a laptop computer to existing local area networks at work, in class or at home to retrieve data files, share music and use printers and other network devices. A U.S. Robotics 5-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch allows up to five users to network from their desktop or laptop computers. More than just a hub, the Ethernet switch is capable of boosting network bandwidth performance and manages network traffic more efficiently than a simple hub. For a more complete networking solution, a U.S. Robotics 11 Mbps Wireless Cable/DSL Router combines a wireless access point, router, 3-port Ethernet switch and print server into one easy-to-use wired or wireless networking system. The U.S. Robotics 11 Mbps Wireless USB Adapter installs instantly into any desktop or laptop USB port for fast, flexible Plug-and-Play wireless networking.

"U.S. Robotics has been on the forefront of modem technology for nearly three decades, and since then we have been enabling users to make the most of their connection to the Internet," said Juan Lopez, product line manager for networking, U.S. Robotics. "Now, we've come full circle by enabling users to connect their home computing or small business devices into a network that makes the most of their technology resources. Our easy-to-install, simple-to- use, wired and wireless networking products are designed to help consumers experience the efficiency, cost-effectiveness and pure thrill of being truly connected."
