JACKSONVILLE, Florida, Dec 19, 2003 -- ParkerVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRKR), announced today the availability for sale of its ParkerVision™ 1500WR 4-port Wireless DSL/Cable Router. This is the third product to be introduced under the "ParkerVision" brand and joins the 1500WLAN card and the 1500USB adapter, all powered by D2D™ technology.
ParkerVision's ParkerVision 1500WR is the ideal solution for wireless networking users, providing wireless access to computer networks with high- speed broadband Internet connections. The 4-Port Wireless DSL/Cable Router when combined with a ParkerVision 1500WLAN card or 1500USB guarantees home and small office users wireless access in every room with no dead zones, constant data rate throughput, and unparalleled distance versus any other wireless products available on the market today.
Jeffery L. Parker, Chairman and CEO commented, "The Wireless DSL/Cable Router completes the product line that will provide the true solution for 'wireless that goes the distance™ by delivering complete connectivity of one mile in open field tests. The ParkerVision family of products allows users the freedom to work without having to adapt to the limitations commonly found in other wireless products."
Parker continued, "Environmental conditions severely limit wireless performance in all currently available plug-in and embedded products. The ParkerVision wireless solution guarantees unparalled performance in both distance and reliable connectivity, which overcomes these environmental constraints. The consumer can now have what wireless has always promised to be. The ability to go anywhere within their home and now outside to patios, backyards and pools; all with reliable connectivity, no dead zones and constant data rate throughput. Structures of all sizes will have the lowest cost per foot of Wi-Fi coverage offered by any solution. There is no longer a need for multiple access points, boosters, external antennas or repeaters to cover most homes or small offices with reliable connectivity and speed. This is achieved because of our patented transceiver circuitry that is trade-marked D2D."
The 4-Port Wireless DSL/Cable Router is fully compatible with all 802.11b or g compliant devices and is currently available for purchase on the company's Internet store at www.Direct2Data.com. It will soon be available at other retail outlets.
