September 12, 2005, Wichita, Kansas --- Imagine sitting three or four blocks outside the office and still getting into the AirPort wireless network there, with signal strength to spare. That's the kind of power that these new Transceivers offer Apple PowerBoook and iBook users. It is powerful, but also very easy to use, requiring no extra software or extra steps. This 500mW/27dBm high power comes at a relatively low cost of only $200 USD.
This small Transceiver is not much larger than a antenna, clips onto the PowerBook or iBook case and is easy to travel with and easy to pop on and use, where ever mobile Mac users go. It connects to the 'Book through the AirPort card, already installed on the Mac - just like an antenna. It's ideal when trying to get a full-speed connection at large public areas such as airports, college dorms, expansive offices, hotels, outdooor commons, and can't seem to connect at any tolerably fast speed.
It comes with a power converter when working near a power outlet, and can also be powered from a FireWire port on the computer. Specifically, these Transceivers work with the following Apple computers:
Part # Mac model
27 XVR IB 12-inch & 14-inch iBooks
27 XVR Ti 15-inch titanium PowerBook
27 XVR AI 15-inch aluminum PowerBook 1.33GHz and earlier
27 XVR AIP 15-inch aluminum PowerBook 1.5GHz & 1.67GHz
27 XVR AI 17-inch aluminum PowerBook all models
All models have a 2 pound shipping weight.
Rick Estes, president QuickerTek, Inc. stated, "Our new Transceiver for the PowerBook and iBook user is just a wireless powerhouse. You can sit down almost anywhere and not only get a signal, but get a fast connection - that's where the rubber meets the road. A few products can pick up a weak and unusable wireless signal, but making a high speed connection is the real challenge, and this new Transceiver has that and more," he continued.
Hapy Mayer of Small Dog Electronics said, "This new Transceiver makes long distance AirPort wireless networking a breeze. A QuickerTek PowerBook or iBook Transceiver and your computer makes a powerful mobile combination. We have them in stock and our customers are going to love them," he exclaimed.
