Amped Wireless REC10 Extender Review

Amped Wireless is a company built on over-delivery.. They create hardware that is better than the “average” wireless products out there. The REC10 Compact Wireless Extender is no exception. We all have those areas in our home or office which for some reason have a much tougher time connecting to the primary Wi-Fi Network. These are generally referred to as “dead zones” and they stink.

Amped Wireless REC10 ExtenderAmped Wireless has several repeaters, but one of the best features of the REC10 is it’s small form factor. You can plug this into an outlet and still use the other socket. It’s small and packs not one, but two wifi transmitters, allowing it to increase your wifi network range by up to 6500 feet.

A product can tout its features, but with me, for a long time now, I have to see it work in action. So, I got one of these bad-boys to demo with and plugged it in inside the house on the opposite site of the home.

South Florida Technology Summit

The South Florida Technology Summit took place at our Miami Headquarters this week. It featured over 40 technology exhibitors, including some of the top brands in the industry. The latest products, and newest technologies. It was such an epic event, there was food, drinks, technology, techies and tons of prizes. It was such a great experience and I am already a bit too excited for next year, so far it has been the biggest Tech Convention in Miami! Even The Lab  Miami was there and they hosted a Start-up demo night, where local start-ups were able to showcase their latest project, pitch it to the crowd and some even got investors interested in their big projects. See you next year Miami!

E-Waste: Toxins in Everyday Technology

3480302

Have you ever upgraded any of your technology? Chances are you have, because as technology advances faster than we can catch up, we tend to replace our “obsolete” older technology and replace it with faster, better, and more powerful items that give us the tools that we need. So what happens to this old tech? Do you throw it away? or do you Recycle it? I guess you can have many answers, but the worst place for this Tech to end up , is in a landfill. You see When your old tech ends up in landfills, it eventually begins to  leak and it begins to contaminate its immediate environment.  Over time, the toxic chemicals of a landfill’s e-waste can seep into the ground (it can even possibly enter the water supply) or escape into the atmosphere, affecting the health of nearby communities and our earths atmosphere.
