New Directional AirPort Wireless Networking Antennas--Give 3-5X standard Wireless Range

QuickerTek 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 according to QuickerTek. These antennas offer excellent value at only $80 for the 12dbi model and $100 for the 14dbi version.

One simply plugs this new Corner Antenna into the AirPort card or port and continues 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. The Corner Antennas work with Macintosh OS X and Apple AirPort networks as well as any other 802.11b through 802.11g wireless network systems. [Bill Fox]
