802.11g Hardware Arrives

Posted by timothy on from the fewer-wires-better-mood dept.

DBordello writes "There's been quite a scramble as networking companies the world over rush to be the first to bring their 802.11g wireless gear to market. Linksys missed their early December launch date, and a company named Buffalo Technology has risen to steal their thunder. The company today issued a press release announcing their AirStation G54 broadband router access point and wireless CardBus adapter, the first 802.11g draft standard hardware to hit the market. More information can be found at the company's website." Update: 12/31 21:35 GMT by M : The story submitter apparently found this blurb on broadbandreports.com. Hey people, give credit where it's due. Update: 12/31 22:50 GMT by T : Karen Sohl of Linksys writes to say that despite the slip in dates, "Linksys is shipping our line of Wireless-G products. We have been shipping since last week. Honestly not large volume by any means-- but by the end of this week we'll have shipped over 10,000 units to distribution -- Ingram Micro and Tech Data." That's where even large retailers (think Amazon) buy their stock.

    Am I the only one that saw that as "802.11g Harddrive Arrives"? I was wondering how the hell a wireless harddrive would work, and who really needs that much versatility anyway.

    Time to go home and get drunk I guess. By the way, does anyone out there light fireworks for New Years Eve?

      Yes, my parents bought around $400 worth of rockets & mortars this year from Phantom Fireworks for their yearly New Years celebration. Too bad it looks like rain this year....

      Phantom sells the *good* fireworks that are probably illegal in your state. And mine for that matter but seeing as the sheriff of the county I live in has a stake in the business, I doubt it's going anywhere any time soon.

      Happy New Year
