INTRODUCTION
All ParkerVision products are designed and manufactured by

standards and are optimized to provide maximum possible speed
and bandwidth through your Internet connection for fastest uploads
and downloads.
The distance capabilities of your wireless network equipment
directly affect your signal quality. Distance capabilities are usually
stated in terms of outdoor, open fi eld reach. However, this reach is
greatly diminished indoors by walls, doors, construction techniques
and appliances that may block the radio signal. A wireless
network adapter that tests outdoors at 200 feet could, in an indoor
environment, provide 20 feet in one direction and as little as 5 or 10
feet in another direction. Factors such as building materials, fl oor
plans and furnishings can greatly impact the signal range, quality
and rate of data transmission. The extent to which your signal is
affected varies greatly depending on your environment.
Wireless network products powered by D2D technology will provide
better performance than other products because they can achieve
open fi eld distances of up to one mile, (when a D2D enabled
adapter is used in conjunction with a D2D enabled base station).
The D2D adapter alone provides 3 to 7 times the distance of other
leading brands. This is suffi cient to reach all rooms in most homes
or small offi ces.
