Buffalo's High Gain Adapter Gets to Grips with "Hot Spots" Like No Other
13/06/2007
13 June 2007 – Buffalo Technology is today launching its Wireless-G High Gain Omni Directional USB 2.0 Adapter (WLI-U2-SG54HG). Designed for consumers and business travellers seeking improved wireless Internet signal, the device attaches to the back of any laptop screen or any flat surface with its suction pads, offering a convenient way to achieve high-speed connectivity on the move.
The Wireless-G Omni Directional Adapter can connect to a laptop with an available USB port via its USB 2.0/1.1 interface. It features a built-in multi-directional high gain antenna, providing consumers with better coverage in wireless hot spots than the standard 802.11g wireless network and also features Buffalo’s AOSS™ (One-Touch Secure System) technology, which allows easy, one-touch wireless security installation.
“Wireless hot spots are now being set up all across the UK, from airports and train stations to restaurants, making it easier than ever before for users on the move to connect to the web,” comments Gerardine Lynch, Product Marketing Manager at Buffalo Technology. “However despite this capability, weak signals from built-in wireless adapters and distances from access points are causing users to experience problems with reception, which can be highly frustrating. The Buffalo Wireless-G High Gain Omni Directional Adapter, has been designed to keep pace with wireless advancements by providing users with an easy and convenient way to get better coverage immediately.”
The device can reach distances up to twice as far as Buffalo’s existing adapter and being on the 802.11g network, hot spot users will be able to experience data rates of up to 54 Mbps. In addition to AOSS, the device incorporates advanced security features such as WPA2, WPA-PSK with AES/TKIP and 128/64-bit WEP.
Backed by a limited two-year warranty, the Wireless-G High Gain USB 2.0 Adapter (WLI-U2-SG54HG) will be available immediately at an estimated street price (ex VAT) of £24.00. Suppliers include Misco, Broadband Buyer, Insight and Dabs.com.
