Netgear announced the launch of the WG302 ProSafe 802.11g Wireless Access Point, a value-priced enterprise-class access pointoffering advanced security and management features along with high-performance speeds and range designed to meet the demanding requirements of small- to medium-sized businesses (SMB) and hot spotdeployments. The IEEE 802.11g-compliant access point supports both 802.11b and 802.11g client devices, making it easy to migrate to the next generation of high performance wireless networkingtechnology while maximizing the current investment in existing 802.11b products.

Based on the Intel® Xscaleâ„¢ 422 processor, the versatile WG302 simultaneously supports an optional “SuperGâ„¢” static 108Mbps mode which provides extended data throughput speeds at longer ranges than possible with other Wi-Fi networking technologies in addition to the 54Mbps speeds of the 802.11g standard. A robust security feature set includes 40/64-, 128- and 152-bit WEP data encryption, MAC address authentication with 256-user access control list, and VPN pass-through support. For enhanced, interoperable wireless network security, IEEE 802.1x user-based authentication and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and dynamic 108Mbps mode will be available early 2004 via a free firmware upgrade.
