What is Wireless Internet?
Wireless Internet access is exactly what it sounds like. CaribServe.NET connects you to the Internet via a high-speed wireless radio modem, all without the need or usage of phone lines. Thus, there is no need to worry about slow downloads, busy signals, or disconnections anymore, with wireless internet your computer is always on the internet.
Wireless Internet access is — as its name implies — access to the internet without wires. Instead of using a phone line or HFC (hybrid fibre coaxial) cable to hook onto the internet, one of the many popular wireless technologies are used. The wireless ethernet technology, known as IEEE 802.11 is traditionally used in wireless networking devices like Apple’s Airport and the Lucent/Orinoco WaveLAN series. These devices use non-directional antennas, and offer a range of about 50 to 150 meters. But some very crafty people have retrofitted the technology to work over very long ranges, using directional antennas. Wireless is generally slower than a physical network, but in the absence of any physical network, or where a physical network would be difficult or expensive to install, wireless becomes an attractive option. Directional antennas offer extraordinary range, but require line-of-site between the two points, which can be a problem in very hilly areas.
Wireless Internet is a form of high speed, broadband Internet access using wireless signals to transmit Internet service to Customers’ computers at speeds far exceeding those provided by dial-up, accelerated dial-up or other high speed Internet service. Our Wireless Service transmits from local towers to a Subscriber Module (SM) that is installed at your location. The Subscriber Module is in effect similar to a standard modem in that it enables the Internet connection to your computer.
Wireless Internet is high speed, or Broadband Internet access, that uses radio frequencies instead of cables. It is always on and does not use phone lines. This means you can talk on the phone and be on the Internet at the same time. And fixed wireless is better than satellite Internet because it is much less expensive and faster. Fixed wireless does not pass through thousands of miles of sky to get to you. And to top it off, our wireless system uses a frequency that passes through trees and other obstacles, enabling us to service many homes and business without installing outdoor antennas.
