Q. What is Xpress Technology and what does it mean?
A. This is one of the popular performance-enhancing WiFi technologies,
designedtoimprovewirelessnetworkefciencyandboostthroughput.It
ismoreefcientinmixedenvironments,anditcanworkwith802.11a/b/g
networks. When Xpress is turned on, aggregate throughput (the sum
of the individual throughput speeds of each client on the network) can
improve by up to 27% in 802.11g-only networks, and up to 75% in mixed
networks comprised of 802.11g and 802.11b standard equipment. The
technology achieves higher throughput by re-packaging data, reducing
the number of overhead control packets, so that more useful data can be
sent during a given amount of time.
