FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Belkin’s critically acclaimed Wireless Pre-N Router is recognized as a leading innovation in the Computing category

(Compton, CA) — November 8, 2005 — Belkin Corporation, the global leader in connectivity solutions, today announced that its Wireless Pre-N Router has been honored with a Popular Science “Best of What’s New” Award in the Computing category.

To be honored, a “Best of What’s New” winner must “represent a significant step forward in its category.”
Powered by Airgo Networks’ True MIMO technology, Belkin Pre-N dramatically improves wireless reliability and performance, and enables users to work with high-bandwidth applications, such as audio and video streaming. Guaranteeing eight-times-greater coverage and six-times-faster speed than standard 802.11g networking, Wireless Pre-N provides complete wireless coverage of your home.

“This honor confirms Wireless Pre-N as a reliable networking device that combines useful features with innovation,” says Mark Reynoso, Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing at Belkin. “Our intention was to fulfill the promise of wireless networking by providing the widest possible coverage, giving people the freedom to share the Internet throughout a home or office.”

Belkin’s Wireless Pre-N Router is on display November 8–10 in Vanderbilt Hall at New York’s Grand Central Terminal as part of the Popular Science “Best of What’s New” showcase event. The complete list of winners will be featured in the December 2005 issue of Popular Science magazine.

“‘Best of What’s New’ is the ultimate Popular Science accolade, representing a year’s worth of work evaluating thousands of products,” says Mark Jannot, editor of Popular Science. “These awards honor innovations that not only influence the way we live today, but that change the way we think about the future.”

Belkin’s Wireless Pre-N networking products have been honored with various Editors’ Choice Awards from Laptop, Network World, CRN, Computer Gaming World, and macHome. The Wall Street Journal, CNET, PC Magazine, Wi-Fi Planet.com, and Home Theater have also recognized Wireless Pre-N with high ratings.

Belkin’s Pre-N line consists of a Wireless Router (F5D8230-4) and Wireless Notebook Network Card (F5D8010) that guarantee 800-percent-wider coverage and 600-percent-faster speeds than all other wireless products on the market today. The products are certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance for their interoperability with existing Wi-Fi technologies including 802.11b and 802.11g.
