QuickerTek unveils 'Quicky' iMac transceiver

QuickerTek today introduced a new Quicky USB Transceiver for wireless iMac networking, offering up to 10 times the wireless performance of any USB iMac with 500 milliwatts of RF signal power. "Other wireless networking enhancements require the disassembly of the computer to attach to the AirPort card or other connection inside," said QuickerTek. "Quicky easily attaches to the USB port only - and can even be powered from USB." The latest revision of the device includes four LEDs for transmit, receive, power, and link activity. A new external case design distinguishes the new Quicky USB Transceiver from other models, and the accessory includes a 5dBi antenna that users can position up and out of the confines of the iMac case to improve wireless performance. The Quicky requires no skills to set up or use, according to QuickerTek, and works with all 802.11/b/g WiFi equipment including Apple AirPort and AirPort Extreme. QuickerTek's Quicky USB Transceiver is priced at $230.
