TeraStar EtherAnt

TeraStar EtherAnt is a powerful 802.11b FCC certified unit that offers the lowest entry price for a point-to-multipoint (P-MP) outdoor wireless equipment. It is designed for the residential market as a cost-optimized solution, and is the client side of a wireless P-MP network. This all-in-one unit includes an embedded 18 dBi antenna and a 2.4 GHz radio. Because of its outstanding feature set and affordable price, the EtherAnt provides the best value in the outdoor wireless industry. The EtherAnt works with any 802.11b compatible Access Point, and features true plug-and-play installation allowing for rapid deployments.

Easy to Install

With the EtherAnt you don't have to worry about complicated client installations, no more worrying about driver conflicts with various OS, and, best of all, you don't have to open up your PC! Simply plug the EtherAnt directly into the client computer's Ethernet adapter and you are ready to go! Also, because the radio is in the antenna, there is no coax cable loss. Up to 300 feet of Ethernet cable (ordered separately) between the DC injector and the antenna can be used with no signal loss. Just plug the outdoor Ethernet cable into the Cat 5 DC Injector, and then into the PC or Router, and you're done. Since it is FCC certified for nonprofessional installation, it is legal for the customer to do self-installation.
