Why does the Wi-Fire™ attain stronger connections and higher speeds?
Most Wi-Fi adapters and access points utilize Adaptive Rate Selection (ADS), which means that the stronger the signal, the faster the connection. In a setting with high interference or at great range, less Wi-Fi data (packets) reach your computer successfully and must be resent. This slows down your connection from a peak speed of 54 Mbps down to as low as 1Mbps. Because the Wi-Fire™ is highly sensitive, focuses on only the most coherent signals and is able to take advantage of low signal strengths, it can reduce the number of lost packets even at great distances or in areas of high interference. This allows the Wi-Fire™ to maintain high connection speeds where other adapters would be extremely slow. For example, if you are connecting at 8Mbps with a standard WLAN USB adapter, you might easily attain 48Mbps or 54Mbs with the Wi-Fire™!
