WHAT IS WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS ?
| What is "Wireless Internet Access" ? |
|---|
| What equipment is needed ? |
|---|
Computer ( Apple, Unix-Type or Windows 95 or higher, 32 megs of RAM, 100 MHZ or higher ) with an Ethernet port to connect the wireless equipment or a Router/Switch
Network/Ethernet Cable
Antenna ( points at one of our internet access points )
Antenna Mounting Brackets ( Used for securing your antenna to a roofline or existing tower )
| How Fast is a Wireless Connection ? |
|---|
A wireless internet connection's speed depends weather conditions, tower line of sight in your area, and software using the network on your computer ( which could be a virus or SpyWare). Your connection can receive information at about 3000k per second over the speed of a T1 connection, many times faster than a conventional 56k modem connection.
| What does the equipment look like ? |
|---|
The technology of this equipment changes quickly as you can imagine
Antennas:
Range in sizes from an 8" square panel to a 24" grilled directional unit. They are all lightweight and are no more difficult to install than a digital satellite dish.
Cables:
Our outdoor wireless equipment has Ethernet network cabling connected to it which is a very small diameter. This places the radio at the antenna, little to no loss of signal through other cabling and requires no software drivers to be loaded on your computer.
| Do I need a phone line ? |
|---|
NO! a phone line is not needed. The Wireless Internet connection is Bi-directional. Meaning your unit will send and receive information, making it a complete solution for internet connectivity. If you have a second phone line you can actually save money and get a faster speed connection by going wireless and canceling your second phone line.
