Overview

Fixed Wireless broadband access is the newest stable technology for delivering Internet access. It's a mature service that has proven itself as a viable alternative to more expensive leased line services. One of the most attractive features about Fixed Wireless is its scalability. With dedicated circuits you have to add a T1 at a time to increase bandwidth. We can provide up to 5 Megabits per second of Internet or inter-site communications with a single wireless connection. There is no additional equipment to purchase to "ramp up" to achieve more bandwidth.

This is NOT satellite!

Our wireless connections are stable enough for services such as VPNs, Voice-Over-IP (VoIP) and Terminal Services. The bandwidth is symmetrical so hosting servers behind a fixed wireless connection is no problem. You get the same speed up and down.

Technical Details

Speed
Our fixed wireless services are all based on 10 megabit per second capable radios. This means your actual download speeds are generally in excess of your subscribed speed. unWired reserves the right to throttle your connection based on abusive activity as we see fit. You will always be guaranteed your subscribed speed. Our philosophy is to give our customers the fastest attainable access to the Internet. Should we see excessive activity, we may contact you to either negotiate a faster speed tier or offer throttling (bandwidth limiting) to make it fair to all parties.

Physical Connection
The connections we provide are handed off via a standard Ethernet jack. Client connections should terminate to either a gateway router or access server. The Ethernet jack will auto-negotiate from 10Mbit half duplex to 100Mbit full duplex.

Reliability
The technology used to deliver access is generally not affected by adverse weather or heat. In some extreme weather cases it's more likely that a power outage at your facility would cause access interruptions than the weather itself.

Installation / Equipment
Typical installations consist of mounting a dish similar to those used for DSS Satellite somewhere on your building. A cable is pulled from that dish to a point on your network where we can interface. The dish must be mounted in a position compatible with our towers. We generally use a non-penetrating roof mount to achieve this.

All wireless equipment remains the property of unWired Broadband. A NAT Router option is a low cost way to share Internet access throughout your office. We give you up to 5 public IP addresses, which will serve an entire office with the aid of a gateway NAT router.
