Apr 3, 2008 - SMC Networks’ SMC Barricade™ N Wireless 4-Port Gigabit Broadband Router Wins CNET Editors’ Choice Award

SMC Networks (www.smc.com) today announced that it received a CNET Editors’ Choice award for its SMC Barricade™ N Wireless 4-Port Gigabit Broadband Router (SMCWGBR14-N), an all-in-one Broadband networking solution that combines the performance benefits of 802.11n wireless networking and Gigabit connectivity for fast and easy connection and sharing of high speed cable/xDSL Internet connections. The coveted CNET Editors’ Choice award recognizes outstanding consumer electronics that represent the best available choice for quality, performance, design, service, value, and its logo is a mark of excellence denoting the best possible investment for consumers.

CNET Editors’ Choice winners are recognized as top products in their respective technology categories, and contribute to the standard by which all future products are judged. A key selection requirement is that it must also change the competitive landscape of its market, whether through innovative features, exceptional value for the price, remarkable ease of use, or a demonstrable boost to the lives of its users.

The SMC Barricade N Wireless Gigabit Broadband Router (SMCWGBR14-N) is a 4-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit LAN switch with built-in wireless ‘N’ access point, intelligent stream handling technology, a multi-function print server and a user friendly Web-based management interface in one convenient, easy to install device. Ideal for handling demanding applications like streaming media content and transferring large files, the SMCWGBR14-N connects to xDSL for Internet access and to any networkable 10, 100 or 1000Mbps device or any 802.11b, g or n device for LAN and shared WAN access. With top-notch security and the high-bandwidth and efficiency of Gigabit and 802.11n (draft) wireless, the SMCWGBR14-N has the capacity to simultaneously stream video and audio, play online games, transfer large files, make VoIP calls and surf the Internet—or to connect to network devices such as Network Attached Storage (NAS), at up to Gigabit speeds.

CNET reviewer Dong Ngo states in the review published online at CNET.com on March 13, 2008, “With a fair price, decent performance, and dead-simple setup, the SMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router is about as well-rounded a Draft N router as you'll find. It also boasts impressive range and a smart design. We strongly recommend it for general home use.”

“We are very excited to have the SMC Barricade N Wireless Gigabit Broadband Router honored with the CNET Editors’ Choice award, as the award has become the hallmark of technology quality and innovation, and its logo is a symbol consumers know and trust,” said Keith Alexis, VP of Sales at SMC. “This is an exceptional achievement.
