Chino, CA – July 15th, 2013 — Amped Wireless, the leading manufacturer of  award-winning high power, long-range wireless communication products for the  home and office, announced today the launch of the ACA1 High Power 500mW Dual  Band AC Wi-Fi USB Adapter. The ACA1 is the first long range 802.11ac adapter on  the market that is compatible with Mac laptops and desktops, in addition to Windows computers. The ACA1 works with  all Wi-Fi networks and has been optimized for use with the recently launched  Amped Wireless RTA15 High Power 700mW Dual Band AC Wi-Fi Router.

The ACA1  is the only 802.11ac adapter available with high gain dual band antennas and  amplifiers to maximize performance. The ACA1 features two high gain dual band  antennas and four total amplifiers for up to 500mW of power. In contrast,  standard Wi-Fi adapters provide up to 100mW of power and are not capable of  providing extended range. The ACA1 provides up to three times the range of  standard Wi-Fi adapters and is backwards compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n  networks. It connects using USB 3.0 for  the fastest possible transfer speeds.

"Operating in the 5GHz band, 802.11ac devices  suffer from the poor range inherent with the 5GHz band," said Amped Wireless  CEO, Jason Owen. "With the ACA1, users can extend their 802.11ac connections to  download HD videos and transfer data files throughout their homes, backyards  and offices. The ACA1 allows Mac and  Windows users to freely use their computers and enjoy the full benefits that  come with 802.11ac speeds."

All Amped Wireless products include Wi-Fi Analytic Tool Apps that provide advanced  software application for Android and Windows devices in order to assist in  analyzing and optimizing Wi-Fi networks for maximum speed and coverage. All  Amped Wireless products are also backed by industry  leading, U.S.-based, in-house technical support provided by Amped Concierges.

The ACA1 has a retail price of $89.99.  It is available for pre-order from the Amped  Wireless store today and ships July 22nd. It will be available at major brick  & mortar retailers and online retailers in late-July. The RTA15 High Power  700mW Dual Band AC Wi-Fi Router ships 7/16 with a retail price of $189.99.  For more information and purchasing, visit: www.ampedwireless.com/products/aca1.html or www.ampedwireless.com/products/rta15.html
