Linksys High-Gain Antennas

Linksys High-Gain Antennas 07/08/2004 08:44 AM

Linksys has announced a new line of high-gain antennas to be used with some of its more popular Wireless-B (802.11b) and Wireless-G (802.11g) wireless networking products. And get this -- no drivers needed. I know! Unfortunately, for all the talk of what connectors go with what products, they neglect to mention what dBi rating (signal gain) the antennas have. For $60 a pop, plus another $30 if you get the fancy stand, my guess is your can probably pick up something just as powerful or more from somebody like Fab Corp, although you'd be missing out on the matching blue and black Linksys plastic. (Thanks, Josh!)

Update: As Ian Anderson pointed out to me, it says its 7 dBi right on the damn image. I blame the liberal media.

Shrinking Antennas

Shrinking Antennas 06/09/2004 11:57 PM
Sometimes you need someone who isn't an expert in a field to come up with a breakthrough in the technology. A technician in a university lab realized that he couldn't keep up his ham radio hobby at his girlfriend's (now wife's) house, because the antenna he needed was too big. So, he began messing around with different ideas on new antenna design - admitting that he basically knew nothing whatsoever about antennas. After trying a number of different experiments over the years, he eventually zeroed in on one possible solution, and believes he's created an antenna system that shrinks the antenna size without losing its efficiency. While some are still skeptical, and much more testing needs to be done, this might be yet another case of an "amateur" inventor forced to come up with something new out of necessity.

Fine Print 07/23/2004 11:39 AM
FCC rule allows end-users to change out antennas on their Wi-Fi and other gear legally if the manufacturer has performed the right tests and the antennas conform to certain guidelines: Jim Thompson alerted me to FCC rule 04-165 issued July 12, 2004, which has some substantial changes for devices that use unlicensed spectrum, most significantly Wi-Fi. The rules affect devices that operate under Part 2 and Part 15 rules, and we're most concerned with Part 15, which governs 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and several bands in 5 GHz. The most notable general applicable of this rule change is in section 2, which starts with point 18: "Replacement Antennas for Unlicensed Devices." Until now, the FCC has required that any antenna to be used with a device operating under Part 15 rules had to be tested and certified as part of a system. There was no mix and match proviso. Further, the FCC required unique connectors for each manufacturer, and required new connectors to be designed as the existing ones became commonplace. "Wait," you may ask--"I can go to HyperLink Technologies or other companies and buy antennas with the right connectors and attach them to my Wi-Fi gateway. If it's illegal, how can I buy this gear?" Simple. It's legal to sell antennas; it's illegal to use them. It's the same logic that guides the sale of bongs and switchblade kits. It's opposite to the logic that underlies the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The antenna/switchblade law essentially says that the seller isn't responsible for all the uses to which a purchaser may put a product. The purchaser is obliged to know local and federal rules and conform to them. Thus, attach the antenna, and you're a pirate. Assemble the switchblade, and you're a criminal. Forget that there have been approximately zero prosecutions for the use of these antennas on home or business systems. But no one wants to be in de facto violation of a law, especially businesses that may considering building out Wi-Fi as part of their operations. The lawyers might look askance, and the companies might have to pay enormously higher fees to purchase legal antennas--if they're available. Those fees help cover the companies' cost in certifying the antennas as part of a system, but also represent their lock-in market for legal use. The FCC rule doesn't suddenly make all antennas legal for all systems. Instead, they have chosen...

D-Link Antennas: DWL-M60AT and ANT-0400

D-Link Antennas: DWL-M60AT and ANT-0400 07/09/2004 01:27 PM

Hot on the heels of those Linksys High-gain Antennas we mentioned yesterday are a pair of external, stand-alone units from D-Link, a 4 dBi omni-directional antenna called the ANT-0400 and a 6 dBi directional model called the DWL-M60AT, priced at $30 and $40, respectively. Both models have native SMA connections (for attaching them to your D-Link devices), but include SMA-to-TNC conversion adapters.

Find out how these antennas keep you legal, and how I'm sort of stupid, after the jump.

Linksys WPC for $57

Linksys WPC for $57 01/10/2004 04:32 PM
Amazon.com is offering the Linksys WPC54G for $66.49 with a $10 rebate direct from Linksys; Dell has it for even less: I don't like to highlight deals, but this is quite a bargain. The Linksys WPC54G is one of the bestselling cards for 802.11g under Windows -- and Mac. (That's right: if you're a Mac user with Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later and AirPort 3.1 or later, you can insert this Linksys card to get 802.11g even if you can't handle AirPort Extreme.) Follow the graphical link at right and add the card to your Amazon.com shopping basket to see the price. There's a link to a downloadable $10 rebate coupon. You can even use Amazon's super saver shipping and pay $0 for delivery in the U.S. I checked out Dell's price on this, and they list the card at $63.95, but my account is a Home account, and they gave me 10 percent off for no good reason and free shipping because it was over $49. I'm not sure if everyone will see the same price, but the net is $57.56 without having to send in a rebate form. You can compare prices for more stores for this item at Shopper.com....
