October 31, 2005, Wichita, Kansas --- Apple iMac G5 users can now connect to wireless networks that were previously far out of range, or where connections were made but the data rate was just too slow to really use effectively. By adding ten times the normal RF power, the freedom to connect to longer distance wireless networks is a reality. Schools are delighted to be able to add iMacs at the far corners of buildings, without sacrificing signal strength or speed. At only $200 USD, the iMac G5 Transceiver is available from QuickerTek dealers.
This small QuickerTek iMac G5 Transceiver is not much larger than a antenna, clips temporarily onto the iMac case. It connects to the new AirPort card inside the iMac G5. It's ideal for full-speed connections at larger network areas such as college dorms and expansive offices, where users normally can't reliably connect and certainly not at any satisfying wireless speed.
The QuickerTek iMac G5 Transceiver offers 500 milliwatts of RF power. By comparison, iMacs tend to have average RF power of little more than 30 milliwatts. The challenge is that iMac G5s have an internal metal shield that limits the effectiveness of the built-in AirPort wireless. It's easy to see why the QuickerTek iMac G5 Transceiver can not only connect to longer distance wireless networks, but also offer full-speed, very usable connections. It's also as simple to use as the iMac itself, with no extra steps required.
Rick Estes, president of QuickerTek, Inc. stated, "Our growing Transceiver product line has been making longer distance wireless connections easier for mobile PowerBook and iBook users," Estes stated. This new Transceiver is ideal for those networks with longer distances between the iMac(s) and the network access point or AirPort Base Station. These distances severly limit the wireless connection speeds.
Like most QuickerTek products, it's backed with a one-year warranty on parts and labor. Additional product information is found at <http://www.quickertek.com/imac_g5_transceiver.php>
