Wireless Internet Services

Satellite Connections. Satellite Internet Services uses a low-Earth satellite to transmit computer data directly to and from satellite dish owned by an individual.The dish is connected to the PC via a satellite internet modem. It offers 1000 to 1500 Kbps downstream speed but only 35-128 Kbps upstream speed. The connection is good for regular surfing and downloading but not ideal for gaming because of its natural latency delay which occur as data is routed from your computer to a satellite that orbits high above the earth. Satellite transmission and reception can be blocked by bad weather conditions like rain, snow making it less reliable than wired connections.


WiMAX Connection. Also known as wide area Wi-Fi is an Ethernet-compatible network technology with a range of 30 miles and data transmission rates of 70 Mbps. Radio frequency signals are broadcasted by a station over large areas covering cities and outlying areas.
A high speed Internet connection may be connected to a hub and/or a router to multiply its services to several computers forming a local area network.
Internet Access with Mobile Devices. PDAs, notebook, tablets and smart cellphones can connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi and cellular phone services. Wi-Fi connectivity is made possible with wireless routers creating hotspots such as those found in public locations like restaurants, coffee shops, parks, schools, and libraries.
