Bigfoot Networks today added wireless adapters to its "Killer" product portfolio

The Killer Wireless-N 1102 and 1103 are dual-band two and three-stream wireless adapters in half-size mini-PCIe format.

Bigfoot claims that the adapters have "up to five times better latency than leading competitors" and "enhanced rate-over-range performance". They also say the adapters automatically classify and prioritize online game, HD video and high quality audio traffic.

Both adapters support Windows 7 32 and 64 bit OSes only and only the 1102 is Wi-Fi certified.

Bigfoot said the new adapters will be introduced this month inside gaming and media notebook PCs from "leading vendors" including AVADirect, CYBERPOWER, iBUYPOWER, Maingear, ORIGIN PC, Sager, The V-Machine, Velocity Micro and others.

SmallNetBuilder has asked Bigfoot to provide notebooks with the 1102 and 1103 adapters so that the claims can be tested.
