17-inch MacBook Pro Users Up To Double Wireless Performance with new
Transceiver from QuickerTek
WICHITA, Kan. –08/14/06– MacBook Pro 17-inch users can now enjoy up
to a 100% improvement in wireless signal strength and distance using
the new MacBook Pro 17 Transceiver from QuickerTek, Inc. This new
Transceiver is fully compatible with all common 802.11b/g wireless
networking hardware including Apple AirPort and AirPort Express Base
Stations. The MacBook Pro 17 Transceiver is available from QuickerTek
dealers for a suggested retail price of $200 USD.
A Transceiver only appeals to those who need between 50% and 100%
better wireless performance and want to use their 17-inch MacBook Pro
up to twice as far away from the AirPort Base Station or other
wireless access point. Not only is the range improved, but also you
can expect the see full signal strength and throughput. This new
Transceiver offers 500 miiliwatts of RF power which is ten times the
power found in most laptops.
The 17-inch MacBook Pro remains very easy to use when outfitted with
the Transceiver. There are no drivers or other changes to the normal
wireless connection procedure. The internal antenna and Bluetooth
still work – in other words you’re not required to reconfigure or
disconnect anything to enjoy the dramatically better wireless
performance. The antenna end of the Transceiver easily clips onto the
top of the case without velcro and won’t mar the finish or alter the
case in any way.
You also can connect to any popular wireless networking hardware
including access points from LinkSys, Belkin, dLink and of course,
Apple AirPort and AirPort Extreme Base Stations. That means just
about any 802.11b or 802.11g networks are within the wireless power
of your new Transceiver.
The MacBook Pro 17 Transceiver attaches internally and a fine cable
extends out of the case to the external antenna. This cable exits
through the AirPort Express port on your 17-inch MacBook Pro.
Like most QuickerTek products, the 17-inch MacBook Pro Transceiver
backed with a one-year warranty on parts and labor. Additional
