Wi-Fi Booster upgrades or extends wireless coverage using innovative multi-directional SmartBeam™ antennas
Dubai, THE UAE, October 31, 2011 -- D-Link Middle East & Africa today announced the release of an award-winning access point (AP) with SmartBeam™ technology that allows home and small office users to improve their wireless coverage range, boost bandwidth, and reduce "dead spots." A winner of the 2011 iF Product Design Award, the D-Link DAP-1525 Wi-Fi Booster presents a quick and easy way to upgrade the wireless capabilities of any home or small office router. Its innovative SmartBeam™ technology uses six multi-directional antennas to find and track individual devices by delivering a lightning-fast, uninterrupted Wireless N signal.
This allows the AP to send targeted beams of wireless bandwidth to those devices in real time, ensuring a seamless connection with fewer dead spots. Subsequently, the DAP-1525 is ideal for large homes or offices where concrete walls, multiple floors, or other architectural obstructions can weaken a wireless signal.
"More and more people depend on wireless connections for their smartphones, iPads, and other handheld devices as they move throughout their home or office," said Harrison Albert, Regional Director at D-Link Middle East & Africa. "Upgrading a router using the DAP-1525 is an excellent way to ensure that these portable devices have the best connection possible, no matter where they are situated," Harrison added.
The DAP-1525 includes a convenient D-Link SharePort™ that allows a USB printer or storage drive to be shared with other users directly from the access point itself. The DAP-1525 also comes equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet ports for use with high-performance wired devices. When the AP is operating in bridge mode, these ports can provide high-speed network access to distant wired devices. The DAP-1525 can connect devices at speeds of up to 300 Mbps and uses advanced QoS bandwidth prioritization to facilitate seamless streaming video, high-performance gaming, and glitch-free VOIP calling. As a dual-band device, the DAP-1525 can communicate over two separate frequencies to improve bandwidth and overcome interference from other wireless devices operating on the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands.
Considering its hassle-free plug-and-play installation and advanced Wi-Fi protected setup, the DAP-1525 is not only one of the fastest access points available, it is also one of the most secure. It supports 128-bit AES data security encryption, and new wireless devices can be added instantly using the simple "push button security" feature. With certified support for IPv6, the DAP-1525 ensures compatibility with the latest changes to the Internet protocol standards. Lastly, as a D-Link Green wireless device, this access point is friendly to both wallets and the environment thanks to its robust energy-saving features.
