Wireless Boosters?

Most of the amps at hyperlinktech.com are bidirectional, meaning they will 
improve the Tx power, as well the Rx sensitivity of your APs.  (Rx 
Sensitivity is one if not the most important factors for success on your 
APs.)  We have found the best combination is to copy Tropos - use a 1W 
(bidirectional) amp with a 6-8dB omni on the APs (depending on losses) to 
achieve 36EIRP.  They actually use 2 amps and 2 radios to achieve diversity, 
which helps the Rx sensitivity even more, but that runs up the bill of 
materials pretty fast.

hope this helps, ty
