| Our team has optimized every aspect of the sophisticated waveguide design and turned it into the TurboTenna 11N PRO booster antenna for wireless LAN range extension and coverage, delivering a remarkable +18dBi of gain, way beyond the built-in 2dBi factory antenna of most popular wireless routers and WiFi adapters. This translates into a greater range from several hundred feet to several miles, depending on the power of the WiFi device, the atmospheric and other propagation conditions such as trees, hills, the length of cable, etc. A mile would be a better estimate of the typical range extension, beaming at 44 degrees wide.
 Thousands of TurboTenna 11N PRO has been sold worldwide and it has quickly become a field proven directional antenna for WarDriving, Internet sharing and home/office WiFi improvement.
Integration of the TurboTenna 11N PRO with the 802.11b/g and the latest 802.11n USB2.0 WiFi adapter, Wireless Router and pcmcia card is simple. What you need is an Ultra Low-Loss matching RF cable to make the connection.
| Performance = Gain + Visibility |
The isotropic gain of an antenna is expressed in dBi. 3dBi is x2; 6dBi is x4; 9dBi is x8; 12dBi is x15.8; 15dBi is x31.6 and 18dBi is x63.2 and so on.
The aperture (visibility) of an antenna simply gets narrower as the gain becomes higher.
An optimal point strikes when performance meets visibility.
The TurboTenna 11N PRO booster is designed with an ultimate balance of gain and visibility which allows you to "see" more WiFi signals with high penetration power for hotspot access and Wardriving.
Aee also dBi versus dBm |
Wardriving refers to driving around looking for hotspots and wireless networks. WiFi enthusiasts could pick up distant unsecured signals using directional antenna such as the TurboTenna 11N PRO Booster and get on the FREE RIDE of Internet access.
Although this practice is controversial depending on the terms of contract the subscriber signed to the service, many people share the high-speed Internet connection with friends and neighbors occasionally as if they were families.
There are legitimate variations. Some home users are using the TurboTenna 11N PRO Booster to extend the high-speed Internet and LAN services to the swimming pools, gardens, or remote patios and decks on their properties.
Interference will be a problem with too many residential WiFi networks in your vicinity. Boosted signal quality not only avoids intermittent disconnection but also improves speed. It deteriorates with noises from overlapping channels, 2.4GHz cordless phones, TV wireless relay, baby monitoring devices and microwave ovens. The TurboTenna 11N PRO Booster screens such airwave pollution by beaming the sources to increase the signal-to-noise ratio.
Another cool application is for gamers using the TurboTenna 11N PRO Booster to link their game units or networked PCs for playing over the high-speed direct connection.
But range extension is not the only puPROse, professional network security auditors are using the TurboTenna 11N PRO Booster to test the outer boundaries of their companies' own wireless LAN, and to detect rogue access points in their offices.
More recently, buyers from all over the world are starting to beat the path to our door, primarily because more FREE WiFi hotspots are being built by the municipial governemnt and FREE WiFi access are bundled with the broadband and mobile services..
