Just a few short months ago we were introduced to a company called Ubicom and their StreamEngine technology. StreamEngine technology has changed the way we look at wireless networking. Wireless networking has done great things for the computer industry, but it had its limitations. The biggest obstacle being speed and then lag at a close second. Thanks to Ubicom wireless networking is now just as good, if not better than a wired network. What Ubicom's StreamEngine has done is eliminated the lag and breakup problem mass data transfers found in online gaming and other voice/video applications. Yes, I said online gaming. Online gaming over wireless networks was once impossible due to the lag in data, but thanks to Ubicom those days are over. For more detailed information about StreamEngine, please go to the Ubicom website.

     Today we have the latest Draft 802.11n offering from EnGenius in the form of the ESR-9710 Wireless-N Gigabit Router. Some of you network administrators may already be familiar with EnGenius. EnGenius is well known for their long range, outdoor wireless communications products solutions. I myself have used EnGenius outdoor wireless receivers. Established in 1999, EnGenius Technologies, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Senao International, a Taiwan Fortune 200 company, founded in 1979, with over 1000 employees. Although they are owned by Senao, EnGenius has four offices in North America; Toronto, Los Angeles, Miami, and Seattle. EnGenius products are even engineered and designed in Seattle for the North America market.

     Let's take a closer look at EnGenius's offering to see if it would be a wise option for gaming and computer enthusiasts.
