Alienware Mobile Systems Begin Offering Airgo True MIMO Wireless Technology; True MIMO-Equipped Aurora M9700 and Aurora mALX Deliver Up to Twice the Range of Typical Wi-Fi Networks and Speeds Up to 240Mpbs

Posted on: Wednesday, 5 July 2006, 12:00 CDT

Alienware(R) -- the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop, notebook, media center, and professional systems -- has now made cutting-edge True MIMO(TM) wireless technology from Airgo Networks configurable on the recently-released Aurora(TM) m9700 and Aurora mALX mobile systems. Providing up to twice the range of basic 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Airgo's True MIMO technology ensures that users of the 17-inch Aurora m9700 and 19-inch Aurora mALX never have to deal with the slow connections and spotty coverage often faced with typical Wi-Fi networks.

True MIMO technology uses multiple signals to create a multi-dimensional, radio-frequency transmission that maximizes speed and reliability across a network. Delivering speeds up to 240Mpbs, True MIMO technology is ideal for gaming, VoIP, video streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive applications. For added convenience, the technology is also backward compatible with existing 802.11b/g networks and routers.

"Alienware's Aurora m9700 and Aurora mALX, already loaded with dual graphics cards, expansive hard drives capacity, and spacious screen sizes, have added yet another breakthrough with Airgo's True MIMO technology to ensure the most complete user experience possible regardless of the application," said Mark Vena, Vice President of Marketing at Alienware. "True MIMO technology allows mobile users to enjoy full wireless coverage in every room of their home for the highest level of flexibility and reliability possible."

"Customers who configure their Alienware mobile systems with Airgo's True MIMO technology can take advantage of wireless networking speeds faster than Ethernet," said Beau Beck, vice president of business development at Airgo. "True MIMO technology vastly outperforms any other Wi-Fi chipset available today, playing a pivotal role in making the Aurora m9700 and Aurora mALX among the most advanced mobile solutions on the market."
