Do you need a wireless amplifier but can't get one?
That's because the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Part 15 regulations dictate the use of RF power amplifiers in the United States. Individual RF power amplifiers are not offered for general sale within the United States and must be part of a wireless system previously certified by the FCC.
Customers in the US that are inquiring about purchasing individual amplifiers must first be prequalified to see if they meet certain requirements. Those who qualify are typically Federal Government agencies, Department of Defense (DOD) and FCC licensed operators. This is obviously not ideal for the typical home or commercial business user.
So how can you get one?
L-com carries FCC-certified amplifier kits. These kits are complete 2.4 GHz wireless systems that feature a wireless USB adapter, rubber duck antenna and amplifier. Since FCC ID numbers have been granted to these kits, prequalification is not required in order for them to be sold.
L-com carries three types of FCC-certified WiFi boosters: standard, economy grade, and PoE compliant. Available with amplifiers ranging from 100 mW to 1 Watt, they provide exactly the boost your signal needs.
