HURRY TO BE PART OF HISTORY AND APPEAR ON THE DVD & BLU-RAY RELEASE OF PARANORMAL ACTIVIYTY!

FBI Agent Tom Greer, played by action star BRUCE WILLIS, risks it all in pursuit of a killer loose in a world where everyone lives their day-to-day lives vicariously through their surrogate robots. Don’t miss this action-packed science fiction thriller, SURROGATES, released to DVD and in the Blu-ray and DVD Combo Pack, 3 March 2010.  

SURROGATES is set in the futuristic world of 2017, where people live out their lives from home through the use of life-like remote controlled physically perfect replica’s of themselves. In this strange and isolating world, it has meant the creation of a life without fear, pain or crime. But the first murder in years has now shaken the safety of this world to the core.  

FBI agent Tom Geer is assigned to the investigation, and given the victim Jarod Canter is the son of Dr Lionel Canter (JAMES CROMWELL), the inventor of surrogates, suspicions of the motive are mounting. But what is even more troubling for Greer, is that Canter’s unexplainable death occurred alongside the murder of several police officers.

Greer and his partner Jennifer (RADHA MITCHELL) are soon led in their investigation to an organisation known as The Dreads; a group devoted to the destruction of surrogates, and their leader The Prophet (VING RHAMES). But while chasing a suspect, Greer is hurt by the same device that killed Canter known as an O.D. (Overload Device). Discovered by his wife in his home, Greer is lucky to survive but his surrogate is permanently damaged.

Greer must now continue the investigation without the use of his surrogate, a strange and unsettling experience after years of shelter from the outside world.

Soon after, the investigation takes another twist with the discovery that the O.D. was originally designed by the military. But with the weapon still out there, the path to truth becomes more complex and dangerous for Greer as he is lead back towards Dr Canter in his pursuit of the truth.

With the lives of all users of surrogates dangerously at stake, Greer uncovers a shocking conspiracy that will have you on the edge of your seat right up to the final climax.

With a brilliant hard-edged performance by BRUCE WILLIS, and in tune with the classic science fiction genre established by Philip K. Dick with Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, SURROGATES is an action packed DVD not to be missed this summer.  

In addition to director commentary, SURROGATES also includes the spectacular, special music video, ‘I Will Not Bow’, by American rock band Breaking Benjamin. 

Don’t miss your chance to own SURROGATES – available on DVD and in the Combo Pack*, 3 March 2010 – undoubtedly a classic science fiction thriller to collect!

NETGEAR Introduces New Solutions at Consumer Electronics Show To Enable Any Media on Any Screen, Anywhere at Any time

CES Innovations Award Double-Winner Highlights New Routers, Home Media Servers and Players, and Powerline Networking Solutions to Improve Entertainment Experience

LAS VEGAS — January 6, 2010 — NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a worldwide provider of technologically innovative, branded networking solutions, is introducing its newest award-winning products at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week. NETGEAR will demonstrate new solutions in the areas of wireless and mobile networking, entertainment and storage to enable consumers to maximise the enjoyment of their HD digital media, anytime, anywhere, and on any screen. NETGEAR is introducing these new products and other emerging technology solutions at two press events today in conjunction with the official opening of CES.

Continuing the NETGEAR legacy of innovation, the company is a double-honoree in the CES Innovations 2010 Design and Engineering Award program that recognises the industry’s hottest product categories. Winners in the Home Networking category are NETGEAR Stora™ (MS2110), a home media storage server, and the NETGEAR Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition (DGN2200M), which integrates 802.11n Wireless, ADSL2+ and 3G/4G/WiMAX for dual WAN capability with failover protection.

“Many of the new products introduced at CES are increasingly connected not only to the Internet, but also to each other to improve the consumer’s entertainment experience. However, for these devices to connect to each other, it’s essential to have the right network in place to deliver faster speeds over larger areas and with greater reliability,” said Patrick Lo, founder and CEO of NETGEAR. “Like plumbing and electricity, the network has become a basic, must-have utility. NETGEAR provides the essential technology for networks to run efficiently – and we do it better than anyone.”

CES conference attendees will have an opportunity to hear David Henry, NETGEAR’s senior director for home/consumer product marketing, participate in a panel session at the Digital Hollywood@CES conference. The discussion on Saturday, January 9, will center on “Inventing TV 2.0: Broadband Enriches Channelised Content; Defining the Set-Top Box, Streaming Media Adapter, Downloadable Consumer Experience.”

NEW PRODUCTS FOR MEDIA STREAMING AND STORAGE

NETGEAR offers a broad variety of products tailored to the needs of modern, digitally networked consumers. These include Internet-connected set-top boxes, home media storage servers, and various devices that connect people to the Internet and their digital media both inside and outside the home.

The centrepiece of NETGEAR’s press events at CES is the CES Innovations Award-winning NETGEAR Stora ™ (MS2110) , an easy-to-use home media storage server that provides consumers with anytime, anywhere access to their digital media on any screen. Stora enables customers to access, back up and centralise photos, music, movies and files using nearly any network device, including laptops, Macs®, PCs, smartphones, gaming consoles, networked Blu-ray™ players and HDTVs. A smooth and powerful user interface for both local and remote users unleashes home network content for use on nearly any device, at home or away. Music and photos can be shared with TVs, game consoles and even digital photo frames connected across the Internet. Full 1080p HD, Blu-ray streams can be viewed via Internet-connected set-top boxes such as NETGEAR Digital Entertainers. DLNA certification means new devices can join the party at any time. NETGEAR Stora comes with a 1 TB disk and one extra drive bay that can be used to insert an optional disk for mirroring. NETGEAR will introduce a 2 TB version of this award-winning product soon. Product details, instructional videos, photos and other information are available at http://www.netgear.com.au/au/Product/Storage/NETGEAR-Stora/MS2110 (AU) or http://www.netgear.co.nz/nz/Product/Storage/NETGEAR-Stora/MS2110 (NZ).

With the launch of the Digital Entertainer Express (EVA9100) at CES, NETGEAR is also expanding its family of award-winning digital media players, which already includes the Digital Entertainer Elite (EVA9150) and Digital Entertainer Live (EVA2000). The Digital Entertainer Express is a powerful and flexible digital media player that enables serious media enthusiasts to easily enjoy and seamlessly stream personal digital media collections and Internet content over home networks to HDTVs. The unique technology of the Digital Entertainer Express enables consumers to seamlessly stream M2TS via pre-buffering and play Blu-ray quality digital video up to 1080p. They can also play MP3, multichannel WAV and FLAC files and high-resolution digital photos from PCs, Macs® or Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, such as the NETGEAR Stora and ReadyNAS®. Consumers can also enjoy Internet content, such as Internet radio (over 250 stations), Flickr™, RSS feeds and videos from popular websites. (See today’s press release, “NETGEAR Expands Family of Award-Winning Digital Media Players with Introduction of Digital Entertainer Express” at http://www.netgear.com/About/PressReleases/en-US/2010/20100105d.aspx).

WIRELESS NETWORKING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR HOMES AND SMALL BUSINESSES

Connecting the seemingly endless variety of network-enabled devices for productivity and entertainment in the home requires a wireless network infrastructure that provides range, security, reliability, speed and stability of connections. At CES, NETGEAR is debuting three new full-featured Wireless-N routers which share many outstanding features: Live Parental Controls and content filtering to protect any device on the network; multiple SSID capability for setting up guest networks; Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through and Denial of Service protection; automatic Quality of Service for reliable video, voice and gaming; a broadband usage meter; and energy-saving on/off switches for both power and Wi-Fi®.

Two of the new routers are compatible with high-speed 3G/4G/WiMAX cellular networks and can be used as a primary Internet connection in situations where no connection to a DSL, cable, fibre, or satellite network exists, making them ideal for mobile professionals, emergency response teams, construction crews, satellite offices and rural locations. By plugging an external 3G/4G/WiMAX modem into the new 3G/4G Mobile Broadband Wireless-N Router (MBRN3000), customers can quickly set up a fixed or mobile Wi-Fi hotspot virtually anytime, anywhere, with the ability to share a single high-speed cellular subscription with multiple Wi-Fi enabled devices such as a PC, iPhone™, iPod Touch®, PSP®, etc.

The CES Innovations Award-winning Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition (DGN2200M) offers dual Wide Area Network (WAN) options for Internet access: to a DSL network via a built-in ADSL2+ modem and to a high-speed cellular network via an external 3G/4G/WiMAX USB modem. It is the first wireless-N router in the retail market to offer customers an automatic DSL-to-3G/4G/WiMAX cellular failover feature in case of a DSL outage — ideal for small businesses that need a reliable backup Internet connection with zero downtime. See today’s press release, “NETGEAR Introduces New Wireless Routers to Connect to High-Speed 3G/4G/WiMAX Cellular Networks, with Unparalleled Features and Proven Worldwide Performance” at http://www.netgear.com/About/PressReleases/en-US/2010/20100105b.aspx.

In addition to the two new mobile broadband wireless routers, NETGEAR is launching the Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem (DGN2200) for consumers and small businesses. It unites 802.11n wireless and high-speed access to DSL broadband via an integrated ADSL2+ modem. It offers the same outstanding features as the Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition (DGN2200M) but does not offer a cellular connection for failover — for many customers, a DSL broadband connection is sufficient for their networking needs. The Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem (DGN2200) will be available for a MSRP in the U.S. of $129. Australia and New Zealand availability and RRPs are to be confirmed. Photos and other information are at http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/WirelessNRoutersandGateways/DGN2200.aspx.

BRIDGES, SWITCHES AND EXTENDERS FOR CONNECTING NETWORK-ENABLED DEVICES

NETGEAR solves the challenge of distributing high quality, full HD throughout the home by developing products — wireless routers and bridges, powerline devices, and Ethernet switches — that provide customers with the appropriate network infrastructure. NETGEAR is the only networking company that offers the full range of in-home distribution technologies to the retail and service provider markets, including powerline, coax and wireless.

Powerline networking technology enables customers to use existing electrical power outlets to connect to the Internet rather than running unsightly Ethernet cables. In conjunction with CES, NETGEAR is expanding its award-winning family of powerline solutions with two new kits that feature up to 200 Mbps performance, ideal for supporting high-performance applications such as HD video streaming, Voice over IP (VoIP), Internet gaming, and large file transfers to networked devices. The NETGEAR Powerline 200 AV Adapter Kit (XAVB2001) is up to 50 percent smaller than competing products and utilises the latest in powerline design and technology to offer throughput and speeds up to 20 percent better than competing solutions over extended locations. Its sister product, the NETGEAR Powerline 200 AV+ Adapter Kit (XAVB2501) , offers the same performance and design benefits, but also includes a unique filtered power socket for “pass-through” capability. Both devices incorporate HomePlug AV®-certified powerline technology, so can easily and affordably extend any existing HomePlug AV network. See today’s press release, “NETGEAR Plugs Two Powerful New HomePlug AV Powerline Networking Kits into Product Line-up at the Consumer Electronics Show” at http://www.netgear.com/About/PressReleases/en-US/2010/20100105c.aspx.

This spring, NETGEAR is bringing to market its first 5-port AV switch for home networks. The new 5-port Home Theater and Gaming Network Switch (GS605AV) connects networked TVs, TiVO®, DVRs, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and cable/satellite set-top boxes to the home network and the Internet at Gigabit speeds. Capable of streaming full HD video up to 1080p, it prioritises and optimises performance of the Internet connection to enhance networked video, digital music and latency-free online gaming such as YouTube™, Hulu™, iTunes® and Xbox® . Consumers can easily assign priority to each connected device by selecting the appropriate color-coded port. Energy-efficiency features include an automatic power-down mode when ports are not in use, as well as an automatic detection of the cable length to adjust power usage. The NETGEAR 5-port Home Theater and Gaming Network Switch (GS605AV) will be available in the U.S. in March 2010 via leading retailers, direct marketers, e-commerce sites, and value-added resellers. Australia and New Zealand availability and RRPs are to be confirmed. More information is at http://www.netgear.com/Products/Switches/DesktopSwitches/GS605av.aspx.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENHANCING THE DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT EXPERIENCE

At CES, NETGEAR is also demonstrating the newest and most innovative technologies that it is incorporating into new digital entertainment and connectivity products to be introduced to the market in 2010.

Enhancing SD to Near-HD
There has been an explosion in digital media, and online video viewing is more popular than ever. However, the quality of the majority of these online, user-generated videos is often sadly deficient. NETGEAR is incorporating new technologies into its products that transform standard-definition videos into near HD quality by enhancing contrasts and color, and reducing the graininess, mosquito noise and block artifacts.

Maintaining HD Quality over the Internet
A major challenge to playing HD videos from the Internet to the TV through the home router is the speed of the end-to-end broadband connection, since it is often limited and unpredictable. NETGEAR is incorporating new technology into upcoming products that can recover lost video packets that often occur over poor Internet connections, to make sure that the HD quality is retained. This technology can expand the bandwidth up to three times to support the bit streams that are needed for HD video.

Overcoming Challenges to Wireless Signal Strength
In the spring, NETGEAR will release a carrier-grade Wireless-N bridge that supercharges the existing home network to deliver multiple, jitter-free HD video and audio streams wirelessly throughout the home. The Wireless-N bridge connects to Ethernet-enabled home theatre devices such as gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, TiVo HD, Slingbox™ , Internet TVs, Apple® TV, NETGEAR Digital Entertainer products, NETGEAR Stora and more, to reliably stream HD-quality video from the network, Internet, or from an IPTV service provider. It combines 4×4 multiple-input, multiple-out (MIMO) antenna signal processing, real-time spectrum analysis and dynamic digital beamforming, in addition to using a low-interference 5GHz frequency band. It is designed to overcome the common problems of wireless signal strength and quality associated with areas of the home that are notoriously difficult to reach, often due to building construction materials such as stone or brick walls. Consumers can simply use the high performance bridge to avoid installing expensive structured wiring and running Ethernet cables.

NETGEAR Plugs Two Powerful New HomePlug AV Powerline Networking Kits into Product Line-up at the Consumer Electronics Show

Advanced Design and Technology Improves Performance Up to 20 Percent Over Competing Powerline Home Theatre Solutions

LAS VEGAS — January 6, 2010 — NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a worldwide provider of technologically innovative, branded networking solutions, today expanded its award-winning family of powerline networking solutions with two new devices incorporating HomePlug® AV-certified powerline technology: the diminutive Powerline 200 AV Adapter Kit (XAVB2001) and the Powerline 200 AV+ Adapter Kit (XAVB2501) with a filtered “pass-through” power socket. These networking kits incorporate the latest in design and technology innovations to support performance surpassing that of existing solutions by as much as 20 percent. These solutions enable high-performance applications such as HD video streaming, Voice over IP (VoIP), Internet gaming, and large file transfers to networked devices over existing electrical wiring in environments where wireless network performance may be challenged. NETGEAR will introduce its new products at two press events today in conjunction with the opening of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. See today’s press release, “NETGEAR Introduces New Solutions at Consumer Electronics Show To Enable Any Media on Any Screen, Anywhere at Any time” at http://www.netgear.com/About/PressReleases/en-US/2010/20100105a.aspx.

Powerline technology enables consumers to create a 10/100 Ethernet connection from any ordinary electrical outlet, thus eliminating the need to run new cables and lowering the overall cost to deploy a high-speed data network. Consumers can extend the range of their home network with these affordable, simple-to-install adapters, especially those consumers who use Internet-connected devices that demand high bandwidth, such as the new NETGEAR Digital Entertainer Express (EVA9100), Elite (EVA9150) and Live (EVA2000) digital media players, Blu-ray™ players, TiVo®, Apple TV®, Xbox 360™, PlayStation® 3, DVRs, and network-enabled TVs. Moreover, because these new NETGEAR powerline kits are HomePlug AV-certified, they can easily and affordably extend any existing HomePlug AV network.

“Powerline has become an increasingly popular option for an always-on infrastructure because of the explosive growth in connected AV devices, and the high speeds and reliability required to support these demanding applications,” said Chris Geiser, NETGEAR’s product line manager for in-home distribution consumer products. “Home theatre products need constant, shared and faster access to the Internet and the home network. You might have wireless dead spots in your house. You probably don’t have Ethernet in your walls. But chances are, you’ve got at least one electrical outlet in every room in your house. Powerline can boldly go where no Internet connection has gone before. Besides, you can’t beat powerline adapters for simple set-up and ease-of-use.”

NETGEAR has a well-documented track record of bringing the latest in powerline technologies to the market, offering a broad portfolio of powerline connectivity options optimised to deliver the highest performance, including single-port, pass-through, 4-port, and wireless extensions. (http://www.netgear.com/Products/PowerlineNetworking/PowerlineEthernetAdapters.aspx) NETGEAR is the only networking company that offers the full range of in-home distribution technologies to the retail and service provider markets, including powerline, MoCA® coax and wireless.

“While wireless is becoming increasingly popular as the core technology for home networks and is often embedded into new products, its performance can be affected by many factors, including the construction materials of the building itself,” said Norm Bogen, vice president of digital entertainment research for In-Stat. “Powerline can be a great complementary solution for TVs, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes and other home theatre devices that still require a wired connection.”

Powerline 200 AV Adapter Kit (XAVB2001)
The NETGEAR Powerline 200 AV Adapter Kit (XAVB2001) is HomePlug AV-certified, featuring up to 200 Mbps performance through powerline. Its performance surpasses that of competing solutions and even that of NETGEAR’s own award-winning Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter Kit (XAVB101) by up 20 percent. It’s distinguished by its compact size, smaller than a deck of cards and up to 50 percent smaller than competing products. It is thus an excellent choice for consumers who are concerned that a powerline device might block an open power outlet. The NETGEAR Powerline 200 AV Adapter Kit (XAVB2001) containing two adapters will be available from mid-February 2010 in Australia and New Zealand for rrp AUD$249 and NZD$299, while single adapters (XAV2001) will have a MSRP in the U.S. of $79 (Australia and New Zealand availability and rrps are to be confirmed). Photos and other information are at http://www.netgear.com/Products/PowerlineNetworking/PowerlineEthernetAdapters/xavb2001.aspx.

Powerline 200 AV+ Adapter Kit (XAVB2501)
The HomePlug-certified NETGEAR Powerline 200 AV+ Adapter Kit (XAVB2501) shares the same performance and design benefits as the Powerline 200 AV Adapter Kit (XAVB2001), but differs from its sister product in offering a unique integrated filtered power socket for “pass-through” capability. This ensures that customers don’t cannibalise an existing wall power socket with the adapter, which means they can connect a wider range of power-hungry devices than competing solutions while still maintaining the highest performance. The NETGEAR Powerline 200 AV+ Adapter Kit (XAVB2501) containing two adapters will be available in Australia and New Zealand from mid-March 2010 for rrp AUD$299 and NZD$349. Single adapters (XAV2501) will have a MSRP in the U.S. of $89 (Australia and New Zealand availability and rrps are to be confirmed). Photos and other information are at http://www.netgear.com/Products/PowerlineNetworking/PowerlineEthernetAdapters/xavb2501.aspx.

Improved Performance, Improved Design
Both new NETGEAR products are designed to provide customers with industry-leading features at an affordable price. For example:

• Effective throughput and speeds up to 20 percent better than competing solutions over extended locations; a typical coverage area is up to a 5,000-square-foot home.
  
• Multi-colored “pick-a-plug” LEDs indicate current network performance, so the customer can determine the strength of the powerline connection without having to look at a computer.
  
• Advanced energy management and standby capabilities provide wake-on-activity functionality to reduce overall energy usage.
• Prioritised Quality of Service (QoS).
  
• Simple “push-and-secure” functionality enables average users to easily install and secure the devices with 128-Bit AES encryption— no software configuration, no knowledge of networking, and no PC required, all with the push of a button.
  
• Compatibility with other HomePlug AV products from NETGEAR, as well as HomePlug AV-certified products from other vendors.

Backed by a one-year warranty and 24/7 technical support from NETGEAR, the Powerline 200 AV Adapter Kit (XAVB2001) and the Powerline 200 AV+ Adapter Kit (XAVB2501) will be available worldwide via leading retailers, direct marketers, e-commerce sites, and value-added resellers.

NETGEAR Introduces New Wireless Routers to Connect to High-Speed 3G/4G/WiMAX Cellular Networks, with Unparalleled Features and Proven Worldwide Performance

CES Innovations Award-Winning Router is First to Integrate 802.11n Wireless, ADSL2+ and 3G/4G/WiMAX for Dual WAN Capability with Failover Protection

LAS VEGAS — January 6, 2010 — NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a worldwide provider of technologically innovative, branded networking solutions, today announced two full-featured new routers for connecting to 3G/4G/WiMAX cellular networks. The 3G/4G Mobile Broadband Wireless-N Router (MBRN3000) combines 802.11n wireless with connectivity to a high-speed cellular network via an external 3G/4G/WiMAX^TM modem. The second router is the Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition (DGN2200M), which not only combines 802.11n wireless and support for 3G/4G/WiMAX cellular connectivity, but includes a built-in ADSL2+ modem as well, making it the industry’s first Wireless-N router to enable a DSL connection along with a 3G/4G/WiMAX failover option. As evidence of its industry-leading features, the NETGEAR Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition (DGN2200M) is an honoree in the Home Networking category of the Consumer Electronics Show Innovations 2010 Design and Engineering Awards, the industry’s highest accolade. NETGEAR will introduce its new products at two press events today in conjunction with the opening of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. See today’s press release, “NETGEAR Introduces New Solutions at Consumer Electronics Show To Enable Any Media on Any Screen, Anywhere at Anytime” at http://www.netgear.com/About/PressReleases/en-US/2010/20100105a.aspx.

The award-winning Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition (DGN2200M) is the first wireless-N router in the retail market to offer a dual Wide Area Network (WAN) option for a failover 3G/4G/WiMAX Internet connection in case of DSL outage — ideal for small businesses that need a reliable backup Internet connection with zero downtime. Competing routers do not offer failover; are regionally focused with limited mobile operators; have shorter wireless range; are limited by how many wireless devices can connect simultaneously; or are without the capabilities of a full-featured router. The Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition addresses all of these issues, and sets a new bar for features and performance combined in a single router.

Both new NETGEAR mobile broadband routers can be used as a primary Internet connection in situations where no connection to a DSL, cable, fibre, or satellite network exists. By plugging an external 3G/4G/WiMAX modem into the new NETGEAR routers, customers can quickly set up a fixed or mobile Wi-Fi® hotspot virtually anytime, anywhere, with the ability to share a single high-speed cellular subscription with multiple Wi-Fi enabled devices such as a PC, iPhone^TM , iPod Touch®, PSP®, etc. The routers are ideal for mobile professionals, emergency response teams, construction crews, satellite offices and rural locations — wherever the group needs to quickly set up an Internet connection with both wireless and cellular connectivity options, and avoid expensive access charges or searching for Wi-Fi hotpots.

“At NETGEAR, we listen to our customers to determine what new features and technologies we should integrate into our products to address their individual lifestyles and business needs. And while connecting via DSL, cable, fibre and satellite broadband are always viable options, high-speed cellular networks are growing at a phenomenal rate,” said Som Pal Choudhury, NETGEAR’s senior product line manager for advanced wireless products. “Our new routers offer customers the performance of Wireless-N with the flexibility of connections via DSL or cellular networks, along with a lengthy set of features unique to NETGEAR products catering to the home and small businesses. At NETGEAR, we strive to offer our customers more networking choices, with more differentiated features, to support their increasingly connected lifestyles and business needs.”

Proven Compatibility
Cellular network connections for routers are becoming increasing popular in many countries as backup for DSL, as the cellular networks already offer speeds close to, or even exceeding, wired options. Cellular networks also offer an alternative option in locations where there are no high-speed wired Internet connections available, or satellite connections and wired options are too expensive.

The new NETGEAR mobile broadband routers are compatible, scalable and rigorously tested with top cellular carrier networks worldwide. Because mobile networks are unique to every country, both new NETGEAR routers have been proven with over 50 3G/4G/WiMAX USB modems from different manufacturers, across a number of top tier cellular networks worldwide. This gives flexibility to end customers to switch from one cellular provider to another at any time.

A Unique Combination of Features
The new NETGEAR mobile broadband routers share many unique features not previously bundled into a single device, including:

• Auto-detection capabilities for customers to select their country and the cellular service provider name for a hassle-free, plug-and-play setup.
  
• Live Parental Controls and content filtering for homes and small businesses, to make the network safer, more reliable and productive. Powered by OpenDNS®, this centralised rich web filtering solution protects any device on the network, including smartphones, PCs, gaming consoles or any Internet-enabled device from a single web-based interface — and absolutely free to NETGEAR customers.
  
• Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through and Denial of Service protection.
  
• Guest networks (multiple SSID) capability to enable customers to set up multiple wireless networks within a home or small business. This is especially useful for setting up a dedicated network for guests to give them access to the Internet, but not other resources and files on the network.
  
• Automatic Quality of Service (QoS) for reliable video, voice and gaming.
  
• A broadband usage metre to ensure accurate measurement of download Internet traffic (via DSL and/or cellular networks) with customised alerts when close to the monthly bandwidth threshold, to help avoid excess usage charges.
  
• Push ‘N’ Connect with industry standard Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) for securely connecting devices at the touch of a button.
• On/off switches for both power and Wi-Fi to help customers conserve energy.
  
• A compact sleek casing with LED indicators that can be viewed at any 180-degree angle, which can be positioned horizontally, vertically or even wall-mounted.
  
• Optional car power charger and a battery pack for complete mobile usage.

Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition (DGN2200M)
The CES Innovations Award-winning Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem (DGN2200M) is an 802.11n wireless router with dual Internet access options: to a DSL network via a built-in ADSL2+ modem and to a high-speed cellular network via an external 3G/4G/WiMAX USB modem. It is the first wireless-N router in the retail market to offer customers an automatic DSL-to-3G/4G/WiMAX cellular failover feature in case of a DSL outage, critical for businesses. During an outage, its integrated DSL modem temporarily routes Internet traffic to the secondary cellular broadband network via the external 3G/4G/WiMAX modem. When the backup cellular option is not in use, the router can be used to share a USB storage device thanks to the integration of NETGEAR ReadyShare®, which provides fast and easy access for any computer in the network to access a single external USB storage device. The Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition has been rigorously tested and proven for compatibility with top DSL and cellular carrier networks worldwide.

The Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition (DGN2200M) will be available for a MSRP in the U.S. of $179. Australia and New Zealand availability and RRPs are to be confirmed. Photos and other information are at http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/WirelessNRoutersandGateways/DGN2200M.aspx.

3G/4G Mobile Broadband Wireless-N Router (MBRN3000)
The 3G/4G Mobile Broadband Wireless-N Router (MBRN3000) for consumers and small businesses unites 802.11n wireless and access to cellular networks via an external 3G/4G/WiMAX USB modem. It offers features that are nearly identical to those of the award-winning Wireless-N Router with DSL Modem (DGN2200M), but does not have an integrated DSL modem. It is designed for those customers who need only a WAN connection to a high-speed cellular network. It has been proven for compatibility with a broad range of cellular carrier networks worldwide. The 3G/4G Mobile Broadband Wireless-N Router (MBRN3000) will be available from March 2010 in Australia and New Zealand for RRP AUD$249 and NZD $299. Photos and other information are at http://www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/3GMobileBroadband/MBRN3000.aspx.

Backed by a one-year warranty and 24/7 technical support, the new NETGEAR routers will be available worldwide via leading retailers, direct marketers, e-commerce sites, and value-added resellers. A universal car power adapter is available separately. A list of compatible 3G/4G/WiMAX USB modems and mobile service providers is found at http://www.NETGEAR.com/3G.
