14 DAY TRIAL // Ubiquiti just announced the launch of a new wireless computer hardware device that is aimed at providing a viable and affordable replacement for today's wireless networking solutions. Available commercially under the XtremeRange 7 name, the new Ubiquiti product is using the patented technology from the same company called Frequency Freedom that allows a device greater range and transmission accuracy.
The Ubiquiti XtremeRange 7 wireless card was specially designed in order to allow its users to connect to other devices over long distances and it is well suited for broadband wireless connectivity and other such applications as it compatible with the 700MHz mobile WiFi standard. This device integrates a compact radio module and it is connectible with a host computer system over a 32 bits wide mini-PCI Type IIIA standard port while featuring a high power output of 600mW as well as an extended operational temperature range.
For the best possible field results the Ubiquiti XtremeRange 7 wireless card is also equipped with a noise cancellation unit and an innovative receiver design that uses the Atheros AR5414 wireless data transmission with an 802.11 MAC/BB compatible interface.
According to the news site dailywireless, Ubiquiti XtremeRange 7 is compatible with most widely available Linux drivers and operating systems and it uses a number of innovative technologies like scalable channel bandwidths of 5/10/20/40 MHz, advanced QoS and 256-bit AES security. The manufacturing company also claims that this new wireless device can transmit and receive data over distances of 50km while also achieving data rates in excess on 50Mb per second.
''We believe the XR7 with its excellent range capabilities, superior throughput, and widely available driver support can be an effective and versatile building block for architecting 700MHz fixed and mobile broadband networks,'' said Robert J. Pera, President at Ubiquiti Networks.
