Rotterdam (The Netherlands), December 2012 - As the number of Wi-Fi enabled devices sold in 2012 is expected to surpass 1.5 billion according to ABI Research, consumers want to connect more and more of these devices such as tablets, notebooks and TVs wirelessly in their home without wasting time on complicated setup and installation. Sitecom launches a new generation of routers, the X-Series 3.0, with focus on maximum user-friendliness. The new X-Series 3.0 consists of four state-of-the-art router models ranging from X3 up to X6, that can be connected to existing DSL, cable or fibre modems. The line also features four Wi-Fi adapters to upgrade devices without wireless capabilities. The routers are uniquely customized for different user needs with a distinct set of features that make it easy for the end-user to decide which model fits best. The X6 N900 is Sitecom's fastest Gigabit router so far with wireless speed of 450 Mbps on two frequencies and the ultimate high-end router for intensive users. The X5 and X4 router are ideal for users with less heavy requirements, whereas the X3 router is an entry level router, ideal for light users. All routers come pre-secured with an individual WPA2 password and feature Sitecom Cloud Security to protect users against viruses and phishing when browsing the Internet.

New looks, new experience

The new routers convince with state-of-the-art looks and a new design. Matt, shiny and textured surface finishing in white give the routers a high-end touch. The included stand allows the router to be positioned either standing up, mounted on the wall or in the classic desktop position. In combination with the lifestyle look, the versatility in positioning ensures that the router fits in with any interior design. Much attention to detail is also placed on the out of the box experience with the router being wrapped in a delicate sheet of bloating paper.

Ease-of-use

Maximum user-friendliness is the philosophy behind the X-Series 3.0. The routers are all set-up within less than 2 minutes and without the need of CDs or installation software which is ideal for users with mobile devices without CD drive such as tablets, mobile phones or netbooks. All routers feature an OPS button (One-Push-Setup) to allow users to create a secure connection with all their devices with the push of one button. The new "Get Online" package includes a multiple-language Quick Installation Guide, a booklet with all network details and information about Sitecom Cloud Security. Thanks to the auto-firmware update the user is always informed about the latest developments and can benefit from new features within minutes.
