<p>Faster and Stronger Signal Wireless Without Wires</p>
<p>WICHITA, Kan. --10/05/06-- More than double the wireless range and<br />
signal strength available to MacBook users - without any wires! You<br />
don't have to open the MacBook case to run a cable from the internal<br />
AirPort card. Connect does the wireless boosting unlike any other<br />
product available. The Connect is available from QuickerTek and its<br />
dealers for $199.95 USD.</p>
<p>The Connect product boosts the signal between the internal AirPort<br />
card and the AirPort and AirPort Extreme Base Station or other 802.11<br />
wireless access point from vendors such as Belkin, dLink, Linksys and<br />
others. This signal boosting then doubles the wireless range of the<br />
MacBook - and maintain fast and satisfying network speeds.</p>
<p>The MacBook Connect can be setup using any web browser and since<br />
there's no wires, you don't need an engineer to install it. Of course<br />
it can't violate your AppleCare warranty since you're not mucking<br />
around inside the case. MacBook Connect is powered from either a USB<br />
connection or AC adapter and can be attached to the MacBook case or<br />
simply rest it on the desk. Connect users access wireless networks no<br />
differently than using a standard MacBook. Connect also works with<br />
any Mac OS X operating system.</p>
<p>Generating five times the standard wireless range of the stock<br />
MacBook is made possible with a 200 milliwatt repeater. RF power is<br />
the rating for wireless products and a stock MacBook has less than 50<br />
milliwatts. Improving the RF rating from 30 to 200 milliwatts is what<br />
delivers extra wireless range and speed. You can even move your<br />
Connect from the MacBook to any other WiFi-ready computer - Mac or<br />
Windows - and it will work similarly.</p>
<p>QuickerTek's MacBook Connect combines a more powerful 2dBi external<br />
antenna with a design that does not require opening the MacBook case.<br />
Later, when you want even more power, you can add one of QuickerTek's<br />
higher power antennas.</p>
<p>An Apple AirPort Express and MacBook Connect appear to operate<br />
similarly, however they are very different in capability and<br />
performance. AirPort Express has a smaller data buffer which limits<br />
wireless performance. AirPort Express can only be powered from AC<br />
adapter which severely limits mobility. MacBook Connect accepts a<br />
variety of external antennas through the included antenna connector,<br />
unlike the AirPort Express where there's no access to the RF<br />
connector. The Connect generates four to five times more RF output<br />
and has a more sensitive receiver than the AirPort Express so that<br />
users get greater range, doesn't require alot of extra steps to<br />
change networks and it works on all 802.11b/g wireless networks, Mac<br />
or Windows.</p>
<p>Like most QuickerTek products, MacBook Connect is backed with a<br />
one-year warranty on parts and labor. Additional product information<br />
is found at (<a href="http://www.quickertek.com/PBConnect.php" title="http://www.quickertek.com/PBConnect.php">http://www.quickertek.com/PBConnect.php</a>).</p>
<p>QuickerTek has been a recognized leading innovator of antennas and RF<br />
products for Apple Power Macintosh G4, G5 as well as Intel models;<br />
iMac PPC and Intel; PowerBook; iBook and MacBook computers.<br />
