Wichita, Kansas -- QuickerTek follows up the introduction
of its premier wireless networking system with three new wireless
systems for marine use. These marine wireless systems range
in price from $199 to $999 USD and provide networking for
one or more Macs and/or Windows computers to the most common
802.11 network equipment found in marinas
around the world.
The array of wireless packages allow QuickerTek
customers a wide range of capability to meet very specific
networking needs. Going well beyond just slapping a terrestrial
antenna to a laptop or desktop computer, QuickerTek Marine
Systems (QMS) have a high-powered Transceiver that
allows boaters to use the internet at any marina with any
number of onboard computers. The greater wireless distances
found at most marinas require up to 48 times the RF power
of offices. Obviously, common office hardware can't be trusted
to deliver adequate performance.
Wireless boaters used to endure marina network
connections that were unreliable and slow. Checking email
and web surfing was frustrating and users either spent far
too much money on a complicated wireless system or they would
lug their laptop to the marina to get a wireless
connection.
Any number of Apple Mac OS 9, Mac OS X or Windows
XP laptops and/or desktops can be networked over wireless.
QuickerTek builds a LAN on the boat for all of the onboard
computers, which then communicates over a wireless connection
to the marina wireless 802.11b and/or 802.11g access point
or Apple Base Station at up to 54mbps. QuickerTek has packaged
a complete solution, mounting hardware and software needed
to install and operate a high speed wireless network - even
from the furthest marina slip. More than just range extension,
a QuickerTek Marine System offers the technology to maintain
high speeds over these longer distances.
