What is High Speed, Fixed Wireless Networking?

Utilizing an antenna and radio kit at each of two or more sites to communicate by use of specific radio frequencies. Similar to satellite, but more efficient, less expensive, and much more secure. How? We use a point to point system, placing the antennas so that they face each other exactly and only communicate with each other. These antennas are then connected to your computer system using a standard data/power cable. This allows you to send your data to the other site using the radio frequencies. If you need very fast and efficient Internet access, it is done in the same manner. A radio is placed at your site and aimed towards Advanced Wireless Solutions Internet, where the Internet access is broadcast.

Why Wireless?

With wireless technology there is no need to run miles of cable to connect sites. This brings down the cost significantly, because not only is there no cost for laying cable, there is also no cost of maintaining cabling, which can be a highly expensive prospect. Loss of connection because a cable that has been cut damaged wastes money for repair, as well as loses valuable communication time. This cost is completely eradicated by the use of wireless technology. And because there is no cabling to slow it down, the broadcasting of data/Internet is much, much faster and more efficient for your company. Additionally, the cost of an additional or dedicated phone line is eliminated, and busy signals or interference won't prevent you from getting on the Internet when you need to.

Who Needs Wireless?

Anyone who uses the Internet, or needs to network buildings nearby or miles away. Anyone who needs to transfer data, needs voice contact, or even would like a more cost efficient security system. Our antennas can transmit any or all of these services for a much better price than standard Telcos that have to utilize cabling for transmission.

How Secure is Wireless?

Wireless communications began with military battlefield applications and security has been paramount since it's first implementation. Wireless data transmissions have the smallest chance to be picked up by anyone, and then, virtually cannot be understood, due to two security measures we utilize:

Spread Spectrum transmissions are simultaneous transmissions on a number of frequencies. A third party receiving signals from a single frequency would receive nothing but garbled information. Frequency hopping uses arithmetic algorithms to send small pieces of information at a time, rotating through a selection of frequencies. Anyone listening in on this type of signal would hear patterns of beeps, and again garbled information.

How Reliable is Wireless?

We make use of the best equipment for our purpose in the industry. Wireless transmissions are not disrupted by weather conditions, mobile/cellular phone transmissions, AM/FM radio, or satellite T.V. There is no cable to be broken or damaged, thereby interrupting the service and while cable inherently slows the speed of data transfer, the speed of the wireless solution is not inhibited at all. There are no busy signals or static noise impeding utilization of wireless communications.

What Kind of Equipment Do You Have to Install?

We will place an antenna on the roof of your building with a small radio box on the same pole, The positioning of the radio and antenna is done precisely according to a geographic survey of the locations of the sites involved. A data/power cable is run down from the roof to your computer system through a hub.

How Long Does it Take to Install the Equipment and be UP, & Running?

The standard install time is 3 to 4 days from the contract date for single site Internet connections. If you need more than 1 site or are going to network multiple sites the install time will vary depending upon the complexity of the network to be created and the availability of any highly specialized equipment that might be needed.
