Ubicom Platform Selected by SMC Networks for the Barricade N Router.Ubicom's StreamEngine[R] Technology Optimizes Speed, Distance and Bandwidth for SMC's Newest Wireless Router A network device that combines a wireless access point (base station), a wired LAN switch and a router with connections to a cable or DSL service. Wireless routers provide a convenient way to connect a small number of wired and any number of wireless computers to the Internet. SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Ubicom[R], Inc., a leading provider of communications processor and software solutions, announced today that its StreamEngine[R] technology has been selected by SMC SMC Saint Mary's College SMC Santa Monica College SMC Solaris Management Console SMC Smooth Muscle Cell SMC Small Magellanic Cloud (also see LMC) SMC Safety Management Certificate (maritime shipping) [R] Networks for its new high-performance Barricade[TM] N Wireless Broadband High-speed wireless transmission of data. What is "high" speed is always a changing number. Wireless systems are typically slower than land-based, wireline networks. In the past, wireless broadband started at 250 Kbps, whereas land-based broadband was generally considered to start at T1 Router (SMCWBR14-N). The SMC Barricade N Draft 11n Broadband Router complies with the 802.11n draft v1.0 specification for wireless networking, and is designed to provide the speed, distance and bandwidth advantages of 802.11n, along with backward and cross-vendor compatibility with 802.11b/g wireless. When incorporated into wireless routers like SMC's, StreamEngine technology reduces lag and jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle , and allows high-bandwidth applications to function simultaneously, each achieving its maximum potential. In addition, quality of service (QoS) means that users can rely on StreamEngine-based routers to provide uninterrupted streaming of multimedia content throughout the entire home or office. "Ubicom's StreamEngine technology makes the SMC Barricade N Wireless 4-Port Broadband Router ideal for the evolving home or small office network, where users are coming to expect more and more from multimedia applications," said Tony Stramandinoli, SMC Networks' vice president of marketing. "StreamEngine's solid performance, backed by QoS, allows us to meet today's demand for high-performance networking equipment that excels at streaming media and other demanding applications." "Consumers are being misled into believing that simply adding more bandwidth is sufficient to run more applications on their home network," said Keith Morris, vice president of marketing for Ubicom. "Integration of StreamEngine technology into home networking equipment such as the SMC Barricade N Wireless Broadband Router adds intelligence and media-awareness to the home network, allowing it to properly recognize each application and its requirements, improving the overall user experience."
