Looks like we no longer need the Cantenna. No, these days will bring us some much better gadgets and tools and it will keep getting better and better as time goes by.
The latest release in WiFi amplification comes from QuickerTek and sounds like a fairly decent toy.
The company claims the device will allow for WiFi access from up to five times the distance you would normally work from.
So how can you get five times the normal range with this tiny little Connect? With 200 milliwatts of RF power - the rating that wireless products are measured by. A PowerBook has about 30 milliwatts of RF power stuffed inside the case. Not very impressive. Going from 30 to 200 milliwatts is what gives you that extra wireless range and speed. Impress those nerds in the airport the next time you fly when you whip out your Connect and immediately lock onto the wireless network in the terminal. You’ll give those Windows guys wireless networking envy.
Sounds pretty good to me!
