Amped Wireless has introduced two new high-power Wi-Fi directional USB adapters that deliver Wi-Fi access: the UA1000 High Power Wireless-N 500mW Directional USB Adapter and the UA2000 High Power Wireless-N Directional Dual Band Adapter

Through the use of high gain directional antennas, high power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers and the latest Wi-Fi technology, these two new products provide Mac and PC users with high speed Wi-Fi access and superior range, according to Jason Owen, president and CEO at Amped Wireless.
