Belkin Taps Airgain for Embedded Antennas in Newest Routers

Gigabit Routers, which are set to release this summer. The antennas are part of a development program that's been ongoing since 2004, which in turn gives them a whole series of proprietary methods and measurement tools that make Airgain antennas impressive pieces of hardware, and impart better overall wireless performance for those devices that use the antennas. In fact, previous Belkin models have also incorporated Airgain antennas, at last report, including the N150, N300, N600 and N900 series routers.

Belkin's Senior Director of Networking, Mike Chen, described the reasoning behind going with Airgain, saying “This provides improved speed and coverage over previous generation 802.11n devices, and enhances the online streaming experience for videos, movies, and music throughout the home. Leveraging Airgain’s embedded antenna technology and integration approach, our new 802.11ac router will allow consumers to enjoy the full capabilities of this new technology.”

In turn, Airgain's President and CEO, Charles Myers, explained Airgain's connection with Belkin by saying “We pride ourselves on being the only antenna vendor in the market today that designs throughput focused antenna solutions, and we are excited to be working with Belkin to deliver maximum performance antenna solutions for its market-leading home networking products.”

With the demand for bandwidth steadily growing thanks to a variety of online-only products, from text to video to gaming, it's not surprising that the hardware necessary to get the bandwidth to the devices that use it is also both increasing and improving. Belkin hardware has a long history of quality, and seeing Airgain take part in that history is a welcome development indeed. It will of course be interesting to see what Belkin and Airgain follow these developments up with, but in the short term, the Belkin and Airgain coalition should be a solid boost to the fortunes of online gamers, online video watchers, or just anyone who enjoys a solid Internet connection without needing to be tethered by a cable to a device.

- Alert). Topics of discussion included the coming of LTW, spectrum limitations and the deamnds of new and emerging markets.

Of course, there was also extensive discussion about how 2G, 3G and 4G factor into the M2M space with many carriers stating that while 2G is being phased out, 4G is being heavily adopted. Ward made it clear that Sprint has no interest in pushing business customers toward 4G adoption if it wasn't necessary for that business right now, adding “we don’t believe in over-engineering a customer’s network if there isn’t a need."

In other news, Rand McNally – a company that specializes in maps, navigation, road travel and trip planning – partnered with the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association of North America (RVDA) to build an app that will give RVers access to a listing of nearby RVDA member dealers in the U.S. and Canada. The app will include information like hours of operation, available deals and specials, contact information and services provided.

"RVers have unique service needs while on the road; providing RV dealer information across North America in a variety of formats will certainly assist them whether it's an emergency or a routine visit," said Dave Muscatel, CEO at Rand McNally. "RVers will be assured of top-tier service provided by RVDA member organizations."

Spring is in full bloom as are technological innovations in the embedded M2M solutions space. From extending partnerships to announcing new survey results, the embedded M2M solutions space was abuzz with news.

Kicking off the week, provider of business payment processing and information management solutions Wright Express Corporation recently announced that it has extended its contract with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc, a full-service fleet management business for companies with medium-size fleets. Wright Express prides itself on helping a multitude of industries expand their businesses by delivering fleet, prepaid and corporate payment solutions, transaction processing and information management programs. With Wright’s fleet solutions in tow, customers can enjoy unparalleled security and control across a wide spectrum of business sectors, according to company officials.

“Wright Express began its relationship with Enterprise in 1993,” noted David D. Maxsimic, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Wright Express, in a statement “Our longstanding partnership with Enterprise has been very successful and we attribute this to successful collaborative selling between the Enterprise offices and the Wright Express sales team and to the commitment to exceptional customer service both companies share.”

Also this week, GE Captial Fleet Services unveiled a new way for fleet managers to increase their visibility of and control over toll expenses, while reducing administrative tasks and cost burdens, through its new toll management program. According to GE, municipalities increasingly use toll collection as a source of revenue with the average toll violation increasing 20 percent from 2010 to 2011 to $60 per violation. The new program will launch in the US.

Those vehicles enrolled in the program will use electronic tolling lanes, a faster and typically cheaper alternative to cash lanes. Through this program, all toll accounts are consolidated and managed by GE Capital Fleet Services, relieving the pressure from fleet managers, who otherwise oversee numerous toll accounts and work with multiple toll authorities to pay violations and reconcile errors, according to company officials.

“In addition to delivering hard cost savings and helping eliminate toll violations, this program increases the productivity of fleet managers and drivers because they no longer have to spend time on administrative details, such as submitting and processing expense reports or auditing toll charges,” Brad Hoffelt, senior vice president and general manager of products and services at GE Capital Fleet Services, said.
