Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Hawking Hi-Gain 8dBi Directional USB Wireless-G Dish
Adapter. This Hi-Gain Wireless-G USB Dish Adapter utilizes the latest in wireless
technology to extend the reach of your wireless laptop or desktop PC. The
integration of Hawking’s innovative Hi-Gain 8dBi Directional Dish Antenna makes the
HWU8DD a very powerful wireless adapter capable of obtaining wireless distances up
to 4 times that of normal Wireless-G adapters. The HWU8DD is also very versatile
thanks to its USB 2.0 interface making it compatible with both laptops and desktops.
This adapter supports the highest security standards to maintain a secure wireless
connection within your wireless network. Along with the standard 64, 128, 256-bit
WEP encryption, the HWU8DD also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) which
combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. WPA
enables client authentication and key verification, ensuring that your wireless
environment is controlled and secured. This adapter has a built-in AES engine which
ensures the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information and is
the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for WiFi security.
The Hawking HWU8DD is a High Performance, Hi-Gain WiFi adapter that expands
the possibilities of your wireless network connections.
