Thomson WiFi 802.11n broadband gateways comply with newly ratified IEEE
Standard
11/4/2009
Paris (France), 4 November, 2009 - Thomson (Euronext 18453; NYSE TMS),
a worldwide leader of services to content creators, has welcomed the
formal ratification of the 802.11n wireless technology standard by
IEEE. Its new generation of WiFi-enabled cable gateways are fully
compatible with the ratified standard.
In 2009, the company launched a new range of 802.11n gateways,
certified by the WiFi alliance as draft 2.0, allowing service
providers to offer multiple services to the networked home including
high quality video over wireless. This new ratification by the IEEE
guarantees that future home networking equipment will be compliant
with these devices.
"Industry standards have always been critical for Thomson, as they are
for the success of the new digital environment and the networked
home," said Pascal Portelli, Vice President Gateways & Connected
Devices of Thomson. "Wherever possible, as in the development of WiFi
802.11n draft 2.0, Thomson will always take a proactive role in the
specification of standards to ensure that the resulting format is
beneficial to all parties through the ready interconnection of
equipment from multiple vendors."
Levering its expertise in the WiFi alliance for xDSL gateways, Thomson
has developed a range of Wireless "n" products in conjunction with
DOCSIS 3.0 or EuroDOCSIS 3.0, resulting in a very fast and convenient
solution for cable operators. The company's product portfolio includes
the TCW770 DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS 3.0 wireless cable gateway and TWG870
wireless Voice gateway for the European market as well as the DCW775
DOCSIS 3.0 wireless cable gateway and DWG875 DOCSIS 3.0 wireless Voice
gateway for the U.S. market.
