QuickerTek recently announced that they’re replacing their Stub antenna with a new 8Dbi directional antenna that extends the wireless range for all Titanium PowerBook and PowerBook G3 Pismo owners. The new antenna is available now for US$55.
“This is the perfect product for those installations where only a directional antenna can optimize wireless performance,” said QuickerTek president Rick Estes. The 8Dbi aligns with the AirPort Base Station’s antenna and allows you to fine tune your wireless network. QuickerTek estimates that it extends the range of AirPort and third party Wi-Fi cards by up to three times.
The new antenna works with Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X and is compatible with both the original AirPort and the new AirPort Extreme. It comes with all the necessary cables and installation instructions, as well as a software CD that measures your wireless network’s performance before and after the installation.
