Our 2 GHz Wireless is the traditional wireless service to your home. It is less costly than other options, but it is also lacks some of the quality of service features of our 5 GHz wireless such as prioritizing digital voice (VoIP) and is less smooth when streaming video. Never-the-less, it can be an excellent choice if your primary use of the Internet is web surfing, email and occassional downloads and updates.
Our 5 GHz Mesh Wireless has exceptional reliability because of its ability to seek alternate paths to the Internet through it self-healing mesh features. It also uses a protocol called TDD that insures that you will always get a time-slice, something not currently possible with 2.4 GHz wireless under adverse conditions. We currently use this system to provide digital voice to an off-site location for evening customer support and it works extremely well. We recommend this system for people needing less than 1600 Kbps and exceptional reliability.
Our 5 GHz MIMO Wireless is the newest and greatest. This service makes possible speeds that rival fiber-to-the-home connections in many large cities, provides automatic VoIP prioritization for low jetter digital voice connections, TDMA (similar to TDD) to insure you always get a time-slice during adverse conditions, and much more. We recommend this system to people needing 3000 Kbps or more. It also has higher speeds at greater ranges than other 5 GHz wireless systems making it the system of choice for rural subscribers.
All of our wireless accounts include e-mail and personal web space.
