Wireless setup requirement:

In order  to have wireless internet connection, you need the following hardware besides the PC.
        1. Wireless adaptor and its software driver. You may use either Internal or external unit.
        2. One Antenna, either one of those shown in the following pictures.
        3. Antenna cable that is needed to connect between antenna and wireless adaptor. We recommend to keep 
            the total length of the cable as short as possible to keep the loss of signal strength to minimal, or you have 
            to use higher graded low loss cable.
        4. Jumper cable. It is recommended to use a flexible jumper cable between wireless adaptor and antenna
            cable to avoid applying pressure on  the connector at the back of the adaptor card.. 
        5. Lightning arrestor. 
        6. On-site installation of antenna.

PC Requirements

• Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP or Unix
• Minimum 800MHz with 128MB RAM 
• Wireless adaptor card (Internal card for single user) or PCMCIA wireless adaptor or external Wireless Unit (for LAN connection)

Macintosh Requirements

• Network Interface Card
• External Wireless Unit

Antenna:
Depends on the distance between the receiver and network cell site, different antenna is required in order to obtain proper strength of signal for reliable network connection. We recommend to use the following parabolic grid antenna which has 13 dbi to 24i db gain. Higher gain antenna is recommended if the distance is larger between the transmitter site and the receiving site, or there are some obstruction (like trees) in between. Ideal condition would be 100% line of sight without any obstruction in the path between receiver and transmitter.

Jumper cable:
This is needed between the wireless adaptor and the antenna cable. It is more flexible and provides enough strain relief to avoid the damage to the connectors.

Lightning arrestor:
This is a MUST item, to protect your equipment from static discharge.

Antenna Cable:
As the operating frequency is at 2.4Ghz, you have to use the low loss cable or else your transmitter would not perform properly. Click here for more details.
