802.11n @ 450 Mbits/s

While the 802.11n standard isn't finished yet, Marvell announces a new product with 50% better performance. To achieve this speed, the unit has 6 antennas: 3 for broadcasting the network, and 3 for receiving packets. Regular 802.11n products have only 3 antennas, used for both functions.
Marvell states that their products also have a 60% wider range, next to the 50% higher throughput (450 Mbit/s vs. 300 Mbit/s).
Their new products can still be used with other 802.11n-equipment, and they should be available this spring.
Terminals and computers will require the right equipment, if they want to use these higher speeds and range.
