TRENDnet Announce the launch of the Wireless Switch Router for the Small Office, Small Business Environment.

Torrance, CA – May 20, 2003 —TRENDnet, a leading manufacturer of networking products worldwide, today announced its new series of Wireless Switch Routers: TRENDnet’s TEW-SR216 16-port Wireless Switch Router and TEW-SR224 24-port Wireless Switch Router. It’s a Wireless Access Point, Switch, and Router all built in one for the convenience of the small office, small business environment.

With wireless networking being ever so popular and affordable these days, it’s more and more practical for businesses to add wireless segments to their network. This provides the advantage of a hard-wired network for greater bandwidth and the convenience of a wireless network for flexibility and mobility. TRENDnet’s Wireless Switch Routers has an access point built inside, allowing users wireless capability with their notebook computers. The TEW-SR216 and TEW-SR224 also provides multiple switch ports to build your wired network with desktop computers.

Broadband Internet has also become a demanding necessity for today’s office. TRENDnet’s Wireless Switch Routers comes equipped with dual wan ports so users can double their broadband speed. The WAN ports features load balancing and redundancy. Load balancing will help split the data transmission between the two ports so that there will be less traffic per port. Redundancy provides a back up Internet service that will automatically switch port if one service is down.

TRENDnet has made it easy for the future of small offices to have both wired and wireless network with only one simple device. TRENDnet’s 16 and 24-port Wireless Switch Routers combines three features all in one: a Wireless Access Point, Switch, and Broadband Router. Soon small businesses will only need this one device to create their network.

“TRENDnet’s Wireless Switch Routers is the future of small offices and business. It eliminates all the excess products all in one making it simple and cost-saving to create a wired and wireless network,” commented Pei Huang, TRENDnet President.

TRENDnet’s TEW-SR216 and TEW-SR224 will be ready to ship by mid August 2003. For more information on TRENDnet’s Wireless Switch Routers or to find out more information about TRENDnet, please visit www.trendnet.com or contact: Tran Hua, Marketing Specialist, tran@trendnet.com.
