TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 24 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Dbii Networks, a leading
designer of high-performance wireless broadband communication systems,
announces the availability of the new PRO Series miniPCI radios with built-in
lightning protection.
    Our innovative patent pending architecture integrates the protection for
the Radio Frequency (RF) antenna port and the Power over Ethernet (POE) port
on the miniPCI radio. In the current market, the best built-in protection
available for miniPCI radios has been limited to mere Electro-Static Discharge
(ESD) protection of the RF port. Such ESD protection is of limited use in the
harsh outdoor environment as it does not protect against high energy carrying
surges such as induced lightning. The PRO Series radios present for the first
time miniPCI radios with built-in protection against such high surge events.
The F50 PRO and F20 PRO are radio modules supporting 32-bit mini-PCI Type IIIA
featuring high output power of 500mW, built-in heatsink, and one of the best
sensitivity among the radios on the market. The F50 and F20 PRO are fully
compatible with variety of host boards and publicly available software
platforms currently on the market.
    "Dbii has made product innovation a priority, especially by adopting and
setting higher standards across the industry. While other miniPCI radios in
the market incorporate just ESD protection, the PRO-series protects against
surges involving high currents. This will help speed the pace of protection
that other manufacturers are sure to adopt in their products. The bottom line
is, our cards will last longer, are cheaper to deploy than the competition,
and drastically reduces overall equipment cost as well as the deployment time
for the customer," said Lawrence Yen Business Development Manager of Dbii
Networks.
    The F50 PRO (802.11a) and F20 PRO (802.11b/g) are both FCC & CE certified
and are shipping now. Limited samples are available upon request. The F50 PRO
is also certified to be used at 4.9GHz in the U.S.
