SMC's High Power Wi-Fi Adapter Offers 4X Transmit Power

SMC Networks introduced the first product in a new series of “EliteConnect High Power” wireless networking products: an 802.11b High Power Wireless PC Card. with up to 200 milliWatts (mW) of transmit power — nearly four times the power of standard PC cards and twice the power offered by any other PC card on the market. SMC said its new Wi-Fi adapter has an operating range of up to 2,700 feet — almost three times greater than standard 802.11b wireless clients. It can also overcome significant indoor multipath distortion to provide improvements in networking quality and throughput. The range can be increased even further by attaching an optional high-gain antenna to one of the two available MMCX connectors. The card is priced at $139.
