Increase Wireless Range 5X


New Directional Wireless Antenna Gives 3-5X Wireless Range

QuickerTek has announced four new directional wireless networking Corner Antennas for Power Mac G5 and G4 desktop computers. With 12dbi and 14dbi RF power, users can easily experience three to five times the wireless range over the stock Power Mac desktop. These antennas are one of the best values at only $80 USD for the 12dbi model and $100 USD for the 14dbi version.

Users simply plug this new Corner Antenna into the AirPort card or port and continue to use AirPort networks, just as before. No software, alterations or other technical changes are necessary to receive this impressive wireless boost. The "corner" aspect of this product is the way in which it mounts to the wall - in the corner. A corner mount directs the wireless signal toward the AirPort Base Station or access point, providing the flexibility needed in some network layouts.

Corner Antennas work with Macintosh OS X and Apple AirPort networks as well as any other 802.11b through 802.11g wireless network systems. Part Number CA12-G4; 12dbi model for Power Mac G4; $80 Part Number CA14-G4; 14dbi model for Power Mac G4; $100 Part Number CA12-G5; 12dbi model for Power Mac G5; $80 Part Number CA14-G5; 14dbi model for Power Mac G5; $100 All of these Corners Antennas have a shipping weight of 5 pounds.

"The Corner Antennas are a natural progression of our wireless Macintosh product line. We have the most flexibility to solve virtually any wireless networking problem our Mac customers will run across. These Corner Antennas can also be added to our high-powered 27dbm Tranceivers to blast the range out past a mile. We have been using these antennas on our in-house systems and for any office or soho use they are great," said Rick Estes, president, QuickerTek, Inc.
