QuickerTek Announces 1 Watt Transceiver for Apple AirPort Wireless Installations

May 16, 2005

May 16, 2005, Wichita, Kansas --- QuickerTek announced today the 1 Watt Transceiver for Apple AirPort users in Point to Point and MultiPoint wireless systems. This product extends wireless systems with outdoor mounted antennas, allowing wireless connections from building to building, when used with directional antennas. This Transceiver product is at the core of many Point-to-Point wireless systems. The 1Watt Transceiver is available from stock for $400.

This high powered Transceiver maximizes the wireless power available to Apple AirPort users under Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X as well as the latest 10.4.x "Tiger". It operates on all 2.4GHz, Wi-Fi systems and supports both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless networks. This Transceiver is designed especially for Apple users and works on all the AirPort enabled Mac desktops including G5 and Mac Mini - like our 500 mW Transceivers. Apple wireless products have RF output of only 30mW limiting range to well under 100 feet, while this new Transceiver outputs 1 Watt (1000mW) and easily overcomes coax cable and remote antenna signal transmission losses across far greater distances.

"Since the introduction of our 27dBm Transceivers, customers have asked about extending wireless range from feet out past a mile," said Rick Estes, president, QuickerTek. "This 1 Watt Transceiver puts the stationary wireless installation within reach of those customers that really need this extended range technology," Estes continued. "If you need more power, distance across outdoor areas, Extreme and Snow Base Station compatibility connecting G5, G4 and Mac Minis, then the 1Watt Transceiver is your best option," Estes said.

The kit comes with mounting brackets, adapter cable, low loss coax, wall mounted power supply and utility software CD. The Transceiver does not require any installation software.

QuickerTek is a recognized leading innovator of antennas and RF products for Apple desktop and portable computers. QuickerTek products can be purchased at Mac dealers such as Small Dog Electronics, TechnoWarehouse, PowerBook Medic, Mac-Pro, Di-No Computers, LA Computers and many others.
