Startup's Cardboard Antenna Boosts WiFi

flatnna.jpg Here's something for all those Fon Foneros and muni-WiFi networkers out there: a small flat antenna, basically a piece of coated cardboard, that claims to double the range of WLANs. It's from a UK company called Tritium.

The Flatenna has been designed by engineers and tested by community wireless broadband users. The Flatenna was created by the need to connect over larger distances for very low cost. The Flatenna is styled to look good in your living room, office or on your window ledge.... The Flatenna itself is legal and does not contravene EU regulations, however the user must ensure that output from the system as a whole is within local limits. It's highly effective at extending the range of wireless networks, cutting down interference and controlling the reception area.
