| Giving Laptops the Advantages of the Dish |
The pole antennas on WiFi wireless broadband routers, laptops and adapters are omnidirectional; they radiate and receive signals from all directions. That gives you freedom of movement, but limited range with weakened reception.Dish antennas, which are highly directional, narrowly beam the signals they transmit and pick up signals mainly from the direction they're aimed. Hawking Technology has applied that principle to Wi-Fi (802.11a and 802.11g) wireless networks, with the Hi-Gain U.S.B. Wireless-G Dish Adapter, or HWU8DD for short. The adapter will have a suggested price of $89. An array of five light-emitting diodes shows incoming and outgoing signal strength so you know when it's properly aimed, and a U.S.B. 2.0 connection provides a high-speed link to your computer.
