QuickerTek today announced a more rugged case for the popular Quicky Mac wireless booster. The company says customer feedback told them that if there was any improvement to be made, it was to make the product more road-worthy. The Quicky case is now tougher, using the latest manufacturing methods to construct a case that will deliver years of active mobile use without sacrificing wireless performance. Quicky users get up to ten times the wireless range of a stock iBook or MacBook.

QuickerTek today announced expanded compatibility of its Quicky USB Transceiver with USB-equipped Apple desktop computers. Quicky temporarily clips to the top of Apple LCD screens, and the company says it delivers up to ten times more RF (wireless) power than a stock Power Mac desktop. Quicky works with all 802.11/b/g and new WiFi equipment including Apple AirPort and AirPort Extreme, and is compatible with USB and AirPort-equipped PowerBooks, MacBook Pro, MacBooks, iMacs and iBooks. Pricing has been set at US$225.

QuickerTek has debuted what it says is the first Transceiver/Antenna for wireless networking that only requires a USB port. The Quicky (US$225) boosts wireless range and signal strength at least twice the standard range of the 12-, 15- and 17-inch Apple PowerBooks. “The Quicky is a small product that easily clips (temporarily) to the PowerBook case top and features a small antenna. The Quicky is a unique combination of the power of a Transceiver product and an antenna.
