Linksys introducing three products based on a draft of the IEEE 802.11n standard. The still-emerging standard is designed to deliver at least 100Mbit/sec of real throughput. That's more than most wired Ethernet connections and with its improved range is enough to send multiple high-definition video streams throughout a typical home, according to Cisco Systems Inc.'s Linksys division.

The WRT300N Wireless-N Broadband Router and WPC300N Wireless-N Notebook Adapter are available online immediately from BestBuy.com and coming to other retailers soon. The router has an estimated street price of $149.99 and the PC Card is expected to sell for $119.99, double or more the prices of standard consumer 802.11g gear, which has a theoretical top speed of 54Mbit/sec. The products are just the first of a series of offerings to be based on the draft 802.11n standard, according to Cisco-Linksys LLC.
