Mini_AC_Adapter_AE6000_Angle

When it comes to Wi-Fi, we want to grab as much bandwidth as we can get. But with highly intensive activities such as simultaneous HD video streaming, we seem to push transmission limits to the edge. With the latest Wi-Fi standard 802.11ac using advanced modulation techniques and compacting more data into the digital bitstream we can now leave 802.11n in the dust, reaching throughputs of up to 1.3 Gbps, up to three times faster than 802.11n.

Review: Seidio OBEX waterproof case for iPhone 5

Seidio OBEX waterproof case for iPhone 5

At first glance the Seidio OBEX waterproof case for iPhone 5 doesn’t look like much. However, if you use your precious device in an environment where it can easily be subject to things like mud, water, dust, sand or anything that could potentially destroy your prize possession then this case, as vanilla as it may seem, could literally save your backside.

Seidio OBEX is designed for protection and functionality more so than fashion.  It absorbs shock in two ways; first by the material it’s made of – a combination of Polycarbonate and Thermoplastic Polyurethane – and second, by the curvature in the build that dissipates the force of the impact across the body of the case rather than at its point of impact, softening the blow. In fact, in independent testing, it exceeds MIL-STD-810G a military standard for drop protection when dropped from 4 feet at multiple angles.  READ FULL ARTICLE AT G4TV CANADA
