Luxul Wireless (Lindon, UT) has released the Shock- WAV™ frequency-translating amplifier (FTA) for use in secure military, defense, and homeland security applications. The FTA converts signals generated by commercial off-the-shelf 5.x wireless LAN technologies to the secured 4.4 to 4.94 GHz government band, and transmits that signal over long distances. The bi-directional FTA enables any 802.11a wireless LAN radio to operate in the government band.

The FTA is available with a 500-mW output power option and a 2-W output power option. The 500-mW version achieves throughput speeds in excess of 15 Mbps at distances over 20 miles; the 2-W version is being tested at distances to 40 miles.
