for residential and commercial customers. We also provide email services. Where will the service be available? Waupaca Weyauwega
What do I need to get service?
What advantages does wireless Internet access offer? A wireless Internet connection offers speeds 20 to 200 times faster than a dial up service for similar pricing. Our service offers high speed Internet access that is always on, no need for a phone line to allow you to surf the web. We offer you the throughput of most corporate accounts within days of request, not months.
Are
there concerns about the safety of wireless?
Is
the service secure? How
quickly can you get me connected? How many customers can a tower handle? Once the wireless infrastructure is in place, it can be scaled upward to support up to 7,000 subscribers per cell and can be deployed just about anywhere.
What is the range of the service? The range of the service will vary depending upon the geographical region. Most towers will have a range from 3-7 miles in radius for remote users. We currently have customers as far as 9.5 miles away but they have installed their own towers to get the height needed. The towers will be able to connect to each other at distances up to 50 miles in some regions. What speeds will be available? The speeds will range from 100KBps to 1,024KBps of throughput. The speeds will depend on the endpoint equipment and the strength of signal from the customer to the tower. Most of our customers are receiving between 400KBps and 1,024KBps. A real plus for our service is that we support these speeds up and down. Some ISP's limit your upload speeds to usually around 128KBps.
Tell us about the service.
Our service will
proved uploads and downloads at the same blazing speed. You can expect
uploads and downloads from 20 to 200 times faster than the fastest modems.
Can’t get DSL or Cable modems? Don’t worry we are from 2 to 20 times
faster! Is the service affected by weather
conditions?
Is the service available for corporate accounts? Our service is ideal for corporate accounts. We offer dedicated Internet access at a fraction of the cost of most dedicated ISP’s. We also offer a low cost solution for connecting branch offices, “work from home” employees and traveling employees. What additional services are offered? Email is included and advertising are optional. Currently we are testing Voice over the Internet (VOIP) and will offer this for an additional monthly fee. In addition, we are examining the possibility of video conferencing. In addition, we offer volume discounts for multi tenant properties with multiple customers. How reliable is wireless? This equipment is very reliable. Broken telephone poles, car crashes, floods or utility workers won’t affect your connection. This wireless networking equipment was developed and used as a low power, high security, high frequency, military communications, and has been commercialized and legalized by Silicon Valley companies. The technology has its own standards just like your modem.
What is wireless? Wireless, an old name
for "radio," is the hot new buzzword used to describe a host of products and
standards that allow communications without the need for additional
electrical connections. Typically, the term wireless implies that
information is being carried from one place to another by electromagnetic
waves traveling through the air. These waves exhibit different properties
depending upon their frequency. For example, microwaves, on the order of
GHz, tend to bounce off walls and objects. At the opposite extreme are low
frequency waves, on the order of tens of MHz, which tend to travel through
walls and objects. It is up to the wireless systems designer to select an
operating frequency that is suitable for a particular application, thereby
taking advantage of some of these properties. What are some wireless applications? Wireless is quickly emerging into many new applications. Some of the traditional applications for wireless have been for voice communications and paging. Now wireless is being used to network computers, to allow remote monitoring and data acquisition, to provide access control and security, and many other things. And of course, wireless is an ideal solution for environments where wires simply are not possible, such as vehicles and hand-held devices. Most wireless products can be categorized by application, some of which include the following:
· Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) · Infrared (IR) ports on computers, printers, and other devices · Radio modems Ø Remote Data Acquisition: · Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's) · Radio Frequency (RF) modems
What are some of the major wireless standards? · IEEE 802.11 -- 802.11 is the IEEE standard for wireless LAN's. The goal of the IEEE 802.11 committee is to standardize wireless LAN development in the ISM band. The standard focuses on the media access control (MAC) and the physical (PHY) protocol levels. The IEEE 802.11 standard is still under development, but is anticipated to become the wireless LAN standard. The
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) allocated the Industrial,
Scientific, and Medicine (ISM) frequency bands in the 1980's. The bands
encompass the frequency ranges 902 - 928 MHz, 2400 - 2483.5 MHz, and 5725 -
5850 MHz. The advantage of the ISM bands is that they are unlicensed. As
long as a device operating in the ISM bands meets special FCC regulations,
it does not require a license. Many devices operating in the ISM bands use
spread spectrum
modulation. However, the FCC does permit narrowband modulation techniques to
be used, provided that the respective device meets stringent power
requirements. WAUPACAONLINE.NET has designed a solution utilizing both the
2400 and 5725 MHz bands.
