Apple Time Capsule Gets Up to Five Times the Wireless Range

156
QuickerTek Inc. has applied it's proven technology to the new Apple Time Capsule. The Extreme Dualy is designed for both the 500GB and 1TB models of the Time Capsule wireless backup devices, and extends the wireless range up to five fimes the stock range.

This increased range is also significant for those users who need to push wireless through walls, floors and other common wireless signal obstacles. Increased RF wireless power is important because each common wall and/or floor between the computer and the Time Capsule reduces wireless signal strength by 25%.

The increased wireless performance of the Dualy Extreme comes from twin 500 milliWatt Transceivers (or 1 Watt Transceivers) coupled to two antennas that create two combined signals paths for up to five times more wireless range.

Two options are available: one featuring 500 milliWatt of RF power (two 500 mW Transceivers) and another option with 1 Watt of RF power (two 1 Watt Transceivers). QuickerTek can install the Dualy Extreme on the customer's 500GB or 1TB Time Capsule for those customers who don't want to perform the upgrade themselves.

Dualy Extreme is ideal for wireless networks at work, home, school, hotels, coffee shops - anywhere signal strength and speed are hampered by distance and common office and home wireless obstacles. The upgraded Time Capsule operates at the full 2.4GHz range using the multiple antenna, high-spped MIMO capability.

Two 500 milliWatt or 1 Watt Transceivers inside Dualy Extreme reach out to computers capable of any of the most common forms of 802.11 wireless networking hardware including 'b', 'g' and 'n', manufactured by a wide variety of vendors.

Each Transceiver has a 3dBi antenna to provide the speed necessary for high speed 802.11n wireless that runs in the higher 2.4GHz wireless range. Dualy Extreme may be upgraded with even more powerful antennas for even greater distance and wireless speeds. A more powerful also provides additional wireless power to penetrate walls and floors that reduce wireless effectiveness. Antennas are attached via 2-foot cables to get the antennas up and away from desktop wireless impediments.
