Securifi announced Almond, the first wireless router with a color touch screen that configures in seconds and does away with PC or Mac based setup or maintenance. Almond also works as a Range Extender, which will dramatically improve the wireless performance of a consumer home network without the hassle. The company claims anyone can configure the router in 5 seconds. Router setup and maintenance is handled directly on Almond's built in 320 x 240 pixel 2.8-inch full-color touch screen, and the Windows Mobile-inspired user-interface.
Almond has two internal antennas, 300Mbps MIMO throughput, full 802.11b/g/n compatibility, industry-standard WPA/WPA2 security, and basement-to-bedroom range match specs from major brands like Linksys or Netgear.
“Anyone who has tried to install a Range Extender knows how difficult it can be to make it work. Almond simply plugs into your existing router-setup and becomes a powerful a range extender with superior range in seconds. This is plug and play at its finest, eliminating the need for the intimidating web-driven interfaces consumers have struggled with for over a decade,” says Rammohan Malasani, CEO of Securifi Ltd.
