At our computer repair shop in Sarasota, FL, we recently obtained the distributorship for the west coast of Florida for OMNI-WiFi's full line of WiFi hotspots. I took one of these antennas and hooked it up to our regular fios router and tested it. Here are my results:
I walked away from our building slowly until the signal was lost. I did this on a clear and chilly day, using netstumbler to check the signal strength. I was completely amazed at how far away I was and still getting great speed from the antenna. I must have been 200 yards from the shop, but there were 3 buildings in the line of sight between me and the antenna. Not only that, the antenna was mounted inside of our block building. While the other networks around us came up and disappeared, I still had a strong signal from the OMNI-WiFi antenna.
These antennas are designed for resorts, marinas, RV parks, and things like that. They are definitely not you average wifi hotspots.
I have been interested to see how many people will be willing to either get wifi up and running, or switch from their current system over to OMNI-WiFi. After talking with Phil, the designer and inventor of these antennas, I can see that these antennas are making big marks in the WiFi marketplace. I am happy to be a distributor, and happy to see a wifi hotspot that can actually deliver a great signal to multiple users at one time.
