JACKSONVILLE, Florida, Dec 19, 2003 -- ParkerVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRKR), announced today the availability for sale of its ParkerVision™ Wireless USB Network Adapter, which is powered by D2D™ patented technology.
The ParkerVision USB Adapter 1500USB offers greater flexibility to connect desktop or laptop PC's to a wireless network. The ParkerVision USB Adapter delivers superior distance, connectivity, and coverage performance when compared to any other product on the market today. The 1500USB offers the same industry-leading one-mile-distance performance as the ParkerVision 1500WLAN card. The ParkerVision USB Adapter is guaranteed to improve the performance of any existing WLAN network.
Chairman and CEO, Jeffrey L. Parker stated, "The USB Adapter is the second product that will be introduced under the ParkerVision™ family of products. The limitations that consumers often experience with other products is that they don't obtain enough distance, coverage, or connectivity to allow the true mobility that they should expect from wireless. ParkerVision's ParkerVision family of products, which are powered by D2D, allows users the freedom to work without having to adapt to the limitations of other wireless products. Users will eliminate dead zones and extend their distance coverage with the 1500USB even with legacy Access Points."
