Access
One way to avoid the challenges of rewiring or contending with varying wiring in
the home is to eliminate wires altogether. The SBG6580 is equipped with a next-
generation 802.11n Wi-Fi access point.
802.11n:
802.11n, the most current superset of the widely used Wi-Fi standard
utilized by consumers in more than 100 million deployed PCs and mobile devices,
is a compelling networking option for operators and consumers. The SBG6580’s
802.11n integrated access point eliminates the need for wires altogether – enabling
users to easily wirelessly network all of their 802.11 b/g/n equipped devices.
Dual Radio Operation:
The SBG6580 is configured with radio technology that offers
802.11 b/g at 2.4 GHz and 802.11n at 5 GHz to support maximum LAN flexibility.
Switched radio operation enables the SBG6580 to work with the lowest common
denominator Wi-Fi peripherals, allowing consumers to network previous and next-
generation computers, gaming consoles, and other peripherals anywhere in the
home.
With Motorola’s SURFboard integrated home networking solutions, service providers
can provide seamless interaction among consumer electronics, mobile handsets,
and PC devices, enabling high-quality media streaming, and supporting efficient
sharing of media within and outside of the connected home. Capable of supporting
converged IP-based entertainment services, the SBG6580 enables the delivery of
advanced whole home entertainment services and a consumer’s personal media
experiences.
