TP-Link launches world's first 802.11ad router in Singapore

The TP-Link Talon AD7200 is the world's first 802.11ad router.

TP-Link has just officially launched the world's first 802.11ad router in Singapore.

Called the Talon AD7200 router, this router is powered by speedy 1.4GHz dual-core processor and supports the latest 802.11ad wireless standard. As part of the 802.11ad standard, it broadcasts a single high-speed 60GHz frequency network that is capable of supporting data transfer rates of up to 4,600Mbps. That's over twice as fast as existing 802.11ac networks.

The Talon AD7200 promises to deliver lots of speed.

However, since the high frequency 60GHz network has limited range, the Talon AD7200 router also broadcasts 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks for users to fall back on.

The Talon AD7200 router also supports 802.11ac, so the 5GHz network is capable of providing speeds of up to 1733Mbps. The 2.4GHz network, on the other hand, is good for 800Mbps. Add them all up - 4600Mbps, 1733Mbps and 800Mbs - and you get 7133Mbps. Hence the name Talon AD7200.

The Talon AD7200 router offers a single Gigabit WAN port, four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, and two USB 3.0 ports.

Additionally, the Talon AD7200 router also supports MU-MIMO technology, which helps improve overall throughput of the network if you have compatible MU-MIMO devices. In other words, the Talon AD7200 is the most advanced router in the market right now.

In terms of ports, the Talon AD7200 router serves up the usual single Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. It also has two USB 3.0 ports which can be connected to external storage devices or printers for file and printer sharing.

The TP-Link Talon AD7200 router is available now at all major retail outlets and is priced at S$499. Stay tuned for the full review of this blazing fast new router.
