Canadian company AlphaShield has taken the wraps off its new AS-8800
wireless router, promising a mighty 1.2 million square feet of coverage
(in ideal conditions, no doubt). Supposedly, the router's Power-G
technology (not to be confused with Super-G, Xtreme-G, or Kenny G) gives
it up to 20 times more power than traditional routers, allowing for the
wireless signal to pass through concrete walls with ease and giving you
speeds up to 108Mbps over a distance of 1,200 feet indoors and 3,900
feet outdoors. To round out the package, AlphaShield's also outfitted
the router with no less than five Gigabet Ethernet ports, as well as a
firewall, USB print server, and VPN support, among other standard router
features. You'll have to wait a bit to put all that range to the test
yourself, however, with the router set to launch in January for $250.
