Extend your WI-FI reach
- — 04 July, 2005 07:50
Huge wireless antennas are generally reserved for enthusiasts who like to tinker with tech gear, or even businesses that have a wide range of premises within line-of-site and want convenient connectivity without messy wiring installations. While the Yagi XP may not look pretty, this competitively priced line-of-sight client antenna can beam Wi-Fi signals (802.11b) over a range of around 10km thanks to its 16 decibels of signal gain. The Yagi XP is overkill if you're looking to extend the range of your Wi-Fi network from your bedroom to your backyard, but one example of where this type of antenna can be installed includes outback properties/communities where data lines are not feasible. These types of antennas, and more-powerful variants, have also been known to beam Wi-Fi signals across bays and harbours. Elias Plastiras
