Introducing the New Super Cantenna

Yesterday, I was trying to find the best way for my mom to get a wireless signal on her back patio. I stumbled on the new “Super Cantenna”. I don’t think it’s the best thing for her, but I was very intrigued.

The Super Cantenna replaces an existing antenna on your wireless router providing a 30° directional signal as opposed to a 360° omni-directional signal. The result is a longer focused signal that reaches a greater distance.

You can also connect it directly to a laptop using a special PCMCIA card or a USB adapter. This would allow you to connect to wireless networks that you were unable to connect to before. I don’t know about you, but this gives me a great idea.

New Features
• Longer 3-foot cable: For added convenience, this low-loss cable will help you position your Super Cantenna even better.
• Dual tripod/pistol grip: This rugged stand keeps your Super Cantenna more stable than ever before. With rubberized non-slip legs.
• Universal mounting socket: Fits standard camera tripods or other mounting hardware such as outdoor speaker mounts.
• Weather-resistant coating: More scratch and ding resistant. And a new color!

Why is your Super Cantenna better than a Pringles can?
Our engineers have optimized can dimensions, shielding, and polarization for maximum signal strength and distance. We use only high-quality and lab-tested materials to manufacture the outer shell and inner parts. Unfortunately, ours doesn’t come with potato chips…

If you’re interested in testing the new Super Cantenna, you can pick one up for $39.99 on their website.

    I think when I get some free time I’m going to build a cantenna.
