The SPEEDLAN Up Converter is a remote mounted, bi-directional
frequency translator and amplifier that enables any SPEEDLAN
2.4 GHz radio to operate in the 5.8 GHz band. The converter
is completely transparent to the user. In normal operation,
the converter "up-converts" the 2.4 GHz radio to the 5.8 GHz
band (during transmit), and "down converts" 5.8 GHz to 2.4
GHz on receive. No user adjustment, configuration or provisioning
is required. The converter may be used to replace an existing
SPEEDLAN amplifier (also requires a new antenna and DC injector),
and will provide relief from the congestion the 2.4 GHz band.
The same coaxial cable may be used between the DC injector
and converter as is used with current SPEEDLAN amplifiers.
