TORONTO – Rogers Cable has launched a wireless home networking device called the ‘N gateway’, making it the first cable Internet provider in North America to offer a DOCSIS 3.0 N gateway wireless home networking specifically designed for optimal usage on its high-speed network.
The enhanced gateway combines the modem and wireless router into one device, designed to minimize clutter and make it easier for customers to manage their wireless home network. Consumers are also able to extend their wireless connection further, and will have less signal quality issues, according to the press release.
"We continuously invest in our network to deliver superior products and services that deliver a consistently better online experience for our customers”, said Chris Draper, vice president of product management, in the release. “Through the enhanced capabilities of our DOCSIS 3.0 network, combined with wireless N technology, we are delivering the most powerful gateway available to our customers."
Rogers also announced that it will offer a 50 Mbps high speed Internet service by mid August, which will initially be available in the Greater Toronto Area and then rolled out further in the coming months.
To mark the launch of the new, faster Internet and home networking device, Rogers is giving away 50 N gateway devices (valued at $199.95 each) in a lottery open to eligible customers who sign up for the 50 Mbps service.
