SMC Products now available from OzTechnologies

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

I am proud to announce SMC products are now available from OzTechnologies.com. Check out the range here.

SMC have been around for as long as I can remember but with limited exposure in Australia since the days of the incredibly popular 7004ABR, which at the time offered an almost unheard of feature set for an amazingly low price. SMC continue that tradition today with some great niche products as well as more popular feature sets at very competitive prices.

Check out the OzCableguy review database for feature summaries of the current routers and ADSL modems.

To be announced yet is the 2710Vn incorporating 802.11n wireless and VoIP hardware.

The 2710n will also be available with 5 & 7 dbi antenna upgrades as well as a combo with an N61 802.11n USB adapter.

Once officially released, this link will show prices and availability at OzTechnologies. (If still not released you’ll just see a message saying “Sorry, we found no text in our product details to match your search”)

Vigor2110 non-wireless router. RRP $229.95
Vigor2110n 802.11n wireless router. RRP $319.95
I’d also expect a 2110Vn model with VoIP and 802.11n wireless but there’s no word about that one at this stage.

The wireless models will also be available with the same antenna upgrades and N61 combos as the 2710 series.
 This link will show prices and availability at OzTechnologies as soon as they’re available.
