“World’s Smallest” Wireless N USB Adapter Available from TRENDnet
At just 1.3 inches end to end, the ultra-compact adapter is just slightly larger than a U.S. quarter and boasts six times the speed of a wireless g connection.
TRENDnet, a wired and wireless networking hardware provider in Torrance, Calif., has announced the availability of what it is calling the world’s smallest 150Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter (model TEW-648UB). The ultra-compact form factor is slightly larger than a U.S. quarter, measuring 1.3 inches (3.3 cm) from end to end.
The 150Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter connects a laptop or desktop computer to a wireless n network at up to six times the speed and three times the coverage of a wireless g connection, according to TRENDnet. One-touch Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS technology eliminates the need to enter codes to connect to a wireless network. Users simply press the WPS button on a compatible router (most TRENDnet routers feature a WPS button), then press the WPS button on TRENDnet’s 150Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter, confirm that they want to connect, and they’re connected.
Advanced wireless encryption protects users data. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) Quality of Service prioritizes video, audio, and gaming traffic.
“We have looked high and low and are confident in our claim that the TEW-648UB is the smallest adapter on the market today. In fact, it is half the size of the average wireless N USB adapter,” says Zak Wood, director of global marketing for TRENDnet. “Despite its diminutive size, it performs well. We welcome all independent tests against any other 150Mbps (or 1×1) adapter on the market today. The adapter features an equally small price tag. With a predicted street price in the low $20 range, this adapter sets a new price-to-performance standard.”
The 150Mbps Mini Wireless N USB Adapter, model TEW-648UB, has an MSRP of $24.99.
This product will be available from all of TRENDnet’s online, retail, DMR, and distribution partners.
