PETALING JAYA, Sept 29 ?Malaysian Airline System Bhd (MAS) has no plans broadband comparison swap the Airbus A380 for smaller wide-body aircraft such as A330 or A350.
We dont have any conversation with Airbus saying that we dont want the A380. There is no foundation to the report,?chief executive officer/managing director, Datuk Tengku Azmil Zahruddin, told reporters after the signing of support agreement for jutawan internet engines with CFM International here today.
According to the recent Standard & Poor report, MAS has broached the idea of swapping the A380 for smaller wide-body aircraft to avoid up to US$300 million (RM1.05 billion) in penalty if it were to cancel the order.
A Yagi Antenna is a strong wireless antenna (802.11 protocol and Cnet Broadband Test tuned for 2.4 ghz). The Yagi antenna was invented in 1926 by Shintaro Uda of Japan. The Yagi antenna was first widely applied during WWII on allied aircraft radar.
Yagi pay as you go broadband antennas are particularly interesting for 3 major reasons:
1- They are especially tuned to get the strongest signal possible from WiFi 2.4ghz bandwidth.
2- They are designed to be installed with a WiFi router so one can connect to far away signals and then repeat this signal throughout your home or office.
3- Special weather resistant coatings ensure long service.
Combine the Yagi antenna with a basic low cost router loaded with free opensource firmware and the router transforms into a $600 professional full featured router.
Some of the more interesting features are as follows:
1-You can use your firmware enhanced router as a repeater, so you can retransmit the output of the yagi antenna throughout your home or, send your personal WiFi Connection to a distant location.
2- You can install a number of routers throughout a diverse area, and then link them together to form a WiFi umbrella throughout a large area.
3- The router firmware allows you to tweak the emission strength of the router by a factor of 8!
In July 2008, the sales of laptop computers broadband cable the sales of traditional computers. All modern laptops have built-in WiFi adapters, but these adapters are not designed to utilize distant WiFi signals. A Yagi antenna coupled with a firmware enhanced router effectively becomes a 'Wifi repeater'. With Wifi access now coming from a remote location, the homeowner can save over $500 a year in internet connection fees.
