Sail Away with HauteSpot WiFi

Wireless Internet Access is HAUTE! HauteSpot Networks, a Broadband Over Wireless equipment provider, specializing in extended range 802.11, today announced the availability of a complete, simple to use WiFi kit for boaters, truckers, RV owners and vehicle fleet operators.



The HauteRoute NL-2511MP5-KIT includes a high performance PCMCIA 802.11b network adapter board, a 5dBi gain magnetic mounted antenna, and all the cabling and software required to access 802.11b networks at incredible ranges...even while moving!

When used in conjunction with extended range base station equipment such as the HauteRoute HR-2611DX 802.11b Access Point, HR-3054DX 802.11b/g Access Point or the HR-5354DX 802.11a/b/g Access Point, and appropriate outdoor antennas, users can expect line of sight and near line of sight performance ranges measured in miles rather than feet.


The HauteRoute NL-2511MP5-KIT incorporates a variety of compelling and unique technologies into one solution including:

High gain radio equipment – The NL-2511 CB Plus Ext2 card, included in the KIT has some of the most compelling performance specifications available in an 802.11b board. Up to 23dBm/200mW power output and up to -96dB receive sensitivity, combined with support for automatic rate scaling, power output control, and 128 bit WEP in software.

High gain telemetry – The EA-MP5 multipolarized omni directional antenna which is included in the KIT has radio signal transmitting and receiving characteristics which are unparalleled. Multipolarized technology propagates a radio signal in many planes, allowing the radio signals to reflect and refract off of objects. This results in outstanding obstruction penetration. When normal 802.11 devices fail to receive or send an adequate signal, the EA-MP5 comes through with a resounding 5 by 5!

The included magnetic mounting base and 12 feet of low loss lead in cable allows the antenna to be mounted easily, and without holes, on any steel surface.

The NL-2511MP5-KIT may be purchased through the HauteSpot Networks on-line store at http://www.hautespot.net/store/proddetail.asp?prod=NL%2D2511MP5%2DKIT&cat=25
or through EBay at http://stores.ebay.com/HauteSpot-Networks .

Customers can estimate the distance limitations when using the NL-2511MP5-KIT by visiting the HauteSpot Networks Wireless Distance Calculator web page at http://www.hautespot.net/support/wirelesspath.asp This handy tool allows customers to specify the types of equipment that they plan to use and calculate the radio signal quality that is theoretically possible with their chosen configuration.

HauteSpot Networks is also encouraging marina owners, RV park owners, Truck stop owners, and vehicle fleet operators to install extended range outdoor access point equipment at their locations to support mobile users.
