D-Link Corporation has released its much-awaited DWA-F18 VR Air Bridge, a wireless dongle made especially for Meta Quest 2 in a partnership which is exclusive with Meta.
The DWA-F18 VR Air Bridge provides high-performance wireless links between Meta Quest 2 and PCs/laptops, eliminating cable clutter to provide enhanced and safer VR gaming experiences.
CJ Chang, CEO of D-Link Corporation said “While connecting Meta Quest 2 through a PC/laptop will significantly boost performance and graphic quality, most gamers are connected via the home Wi-Fi router or a dedicated gaming router. Many home Wi-Fi router connections can be unstable and are likely affected by other connected home Wi-Fi devices. Gaming routers can be significantly higher in cost, more time consuming to set up, and definitely not tuned for optimized Meta Quest 2 connectivity.”
The powerful Wi-Fi 6 firmware from D-Link and the exclusive VR algorithms from Meta is integrated into the DWA-F18 VR Air Bridge to provide low-latency wireless communication and increased Wi-Fi effectiveness. In addition, the DWA-F18 has a small footprint, easy setup, and WPA3 Wi-Fi security to give users a safer, unfettered, and completely immersive VR experience in the Metaverse.
“After joining the Metaverse Standards Forum in July, we aim to be a pioneer in Metaverse development. This exclusive partnership with Meta not only validates our innovation, but also affirms that D-Link is the ideal partner to combine technology, security, and quality. In anticipation of growing Metaverse trends, D-Link will continue to develop user-friendly and cost-effective Metaverse products and services to optimize consumer VR experiences,” said CJ Chang.
Those who want the product can get it soon. According to the company, DWA-F18 VR Air Bridge will be made available in North America soon.
