Cisco announced yesterday a device that will “change the Internet forever”. This device is the CRS-3, the fastest router in the world with a transmission capacity of up to 322 terabits per second, or 322,000 billion bits per second! These figures do you say may be nothing, but in theory this router should have the ability for all the Chinese people, including children, to have video conferences simultaneously… It’s not for tomorrow and even less for individuals, especially as the CRS-3 costs a price of $90,000, but imperative for the future of the Web.

Dane Elec announced the myDitto, a NAS server really promising and very simple to use. The USB flash drive delivered with this product would be enough to access your data remotely.
A NAS makes many services. Very handy to save your data, concentrate on one point all your multimedia files, share them via the Net at your convenience, etc. However, if manufacturers are making efforts to make their products more attractive and appropriated by the general public, there is still some barriers, such as configuring the router.

The great advantage of the myDitto NAS of Dane Elec would no longer have to worry about the network configuration. The manufacturer does not hesitate to summarize the installation of the NAS in a few steps: it plugs into the sector over the network, install a program that takes care of detecting the NAS and go. Then just feed it through your home network with drag and drop (or copy and paste) from the software. It would be useless to open any port, to redirect any IP address, everything would be automatically.

The concept is attractive on the paper. In fact, the Wi-Fi Direct should ensure that all devices equipped with Wi-Fi to connect to each other so completely invisible and transparent. So, each device can be transformed into an access point.

We expect more about it, but know that the Wi-Fi Direct should embrace the WPA2 encryption standard, and should be used later in the year 2010. Apple has already confirmed it would use the service.

New Wireless Router and USB HSDPA card combo by Buffalo

Tony — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:05:38 +0000

Buffalo has unveiled its new wireless router with Gigabit hub, the DWR-HP-G300N. Nothing too impressive here, because ultimately, the router is very similar to previous versions proposed by the same manufacturer.
However, the big difference lies in the fact that it comes with a small 3G adapter to receive all necessary information via your router (Once it is installed), and allowing you to connect to the Internet outside the perimeter of the router, and this via 3G. It will however ask your Internet provider, the SIM card.
