The connected office
By Staff Writer 1 March 2012 | Categories: sponsored contentModems, routers and other networking devices won't rank highly on most people's sexiest gadget list, but they do play a crucial role in connecting us to the net. Nology's range of Wireless-N enabled devices ensures that your home or office network provides the best coverage, as well as the quickest data transfer speeds.

With the Auto-Failover feature, the router will automatically failover to the 3G connection, if the ADSL connection drops, ensuring that the Internet connection is always on. The Billion 7300NX will automatically failback to ADSL when the ADSL connection comes back up. (*3G Modem not included)

Demystifying Wireless-N
IEEE 802.11n, or the Wireless-N standard, supports significantly improved data rates (up to six times that of 802.11g), also providing up to three times the wireless coverage area of an 802.11g capable device.
This means that a home served by a single Wireless-N capable Wi-Fi router suffers from fewer "dead spots" where there is no Internet connection, whilst businesses have speedier access to bandwidth-intensive applications including video conferencing and wireless VoIP (Voice over IP).
