LINKSYS AND STARHUB JOINTLY OFFER THE NEXT GENERATION MAX-STREAMTM EA7500v2 WIRELESS ROUTER IN SINGAPORE

Singapore – July 11,
2017– Linksys®, a leader in
networking solutions for the home and business and the first to ship 100
million routers, together with StarHub, announced the launch of the newly-improved Linksys Max-StreamTM EA7500v2
AC1900+ MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router for StarHub customers. Perfect for
families with multiple users, the Max-StreamTM EA7500v2
leverages the 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input,
Multiple-Output) technology which helps make Wi-Fi networks more efficient when
delivering high bandwidth 4K video streams to numerous devices, while
connecting to home appliances at the same time. This means that the whole
household can enjoy 4K and HD video streaming to various devices, as well as
play video games, listen to music, check email, be on social media, shop, and
more – all at the same time.

“An average
Singaporean uses more than five Wi-Fi enabled devices at home. When added with
the devices of their family members, this often leads to slow Wi-Fi speeds.
Our solution to this level of Wi-Fi usage is the Linksys Max-StreamTMEA7500v2
AC1900+ MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router.” said Jenny Ng, Vice President for APAC, Linksys.

coverage and improved radio performance for faster speeds. Linksys is excited
to be working with StarHub to offer Singaporean homes a seamless and smooth
Wi-Fi experience.”

networks are increasing and so the quality of Wi-Fi router models that we offer

security,” said Justin Ang, Head of Product, StarHub. “Spurred on by our

Broadband, we will continue working hard to ensure our customers stay
satisfied.”

* The standard
transmission rates – 1733 Mbps (for 5 GHz) and 800 Mbps (for 2.4 GHz) – are the
physical data rates. Actual data throughput will be lower and may depend on the
mix of wireless products used and external factors.

Specifications are
subject to change without notice. Actual performance may vary, and might result
in lower wireless network capacity, data throughput rate, range, and coverage.
Performance depends upon many factors, conditions and variables, including
distance from the access point, volume of network traffic, environment building
materials and construction, operating system used, mix of wireless products
used, interference, and other adverse conditions. An active, customer-purchased
Internet Service Provider broadband account is required for connection of this
router and other connected computers and devices to the Internet. Maximum
performance for wireless products derived from IEEE Standard 802.11
specifications. An 802.11ac adapter may be needed to achieve 11ac data
rates.  To achieve maximum performance, routers must be paired with
coordinating adapters/and or computers in both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz band such
that the maximum performance can be maximized for each GHz band.
