High-Speed Wireless Internet Access Now Available from FULLnet, Inc.

How does FULLnet Wireless work?

FULLnet Wireless has towers with access points (APs).
Your location must have line-of-sight visibility to o­ne of our AP towers
or it will not work. AP locations have a coverage area of approximately 8
- 10 miles in a generally circular pattern. Locations up to 30 miles away
can get wireless access with the addition of an reflector kit.

What equipment is needed?

A typical setup for a wireless Internet connection is:

Computer (Pentium or higher, 32 MB or higher, Windows 95 or newer, Macs, too) Network card Wireless Internet radio receiver Cable from your computer to the antenna at your location Directional antenna that points at o­ne of our Internet access points Mounting brackets to secure the antenna to your roof or existing tower o­n your roof.
All equipment may be leased or purchased from FULLnet, Inc.

How fast is Wireless Internet?

At an absolute maximum, depending o­n weather conditions and radio interference in your location, your connection can receive and send information at about 1.544mb per second, equal to the speed of a T1 connection.
At best you are getting 48k with your so called 56k modem the speed of
wireless can be up to 4 MB.

What's the security level of the connection?
     
The way in which wireless Internet is implemented makes it very difficult to intercept, therefore it's quite secure. The hopping
     sequence could be observed but o­nly in the case of o­ne unit transmitting as an access point without other units in proximity.
     As additional units utilize the signal, it becomes exponentially more difficult to isolate o­ne signal. A specific code is used to allow o­nly approved radio clients to associate with any given access point. Also, the wireless system "frequency hops" which further frustrates any attempts at interception. Such hopping is completely transparent to the client. This connection is a
fire walled connection. No o­ne can access your computer to harm it or view files across the Internet. This connection may not be used to run a web server or an FTP site.

Will I have to learn anything new to use this system?

If you know how to use a web browser and email software, you will find you've already learned what you need to know. With our setup, you are always o­nline, any time your computer is powered up. You click o­n your browser icon, and you are o­nline with no delay and no waiting, EVER, for a free line or a connection.

What are some benefits to having fast Internet access?
     
If you're used to the speed of standard dialup Internet access, you know the drill: click and wait. And wait. And (when there's a large image, or a lot of programming in the page you're trying to view) wait some more. With wireless Internet access, that wait is gone. You can play videos off the Web in "real time", make Internet phone calls with fluid clarity of transmission, play your favorite MP3 in real time, watch live video streams, send and receive files at breathtaking speeds. Best of all, general browsing is much more enjoyable than it ever was o­n a dialup connection!

Do I need a phone line to access the Internet?

No, a phone line is not needed. A wireless Internet connection is bi-directional, which means that your wireless setup will both receive and send data. It's a complete solution for your Internet connectivity.

Is this the same as what's called "satellite" Internet?

No, it's better! Wireless Internet is bi-directional unlike satellite solutions, where you download via the dish antenna, but you are also connected by phone line to the Internet for your uploads. Our wireless solution eliminates the need for any dedicated phone lines, thereby reducing your costs, while providing data [transfer] rates much better than possible with modems or ISDN.

Will I still need my modem?
     
No, wireless Internet connections do not require a modem.

How long does it take to install?

As soon as your location has had a site survey to determine connection viability, a date will be set for installing your unit. When a service technician is o­n site, it could take as little as an hour or much as several days. Each location and application differs in the degree of difficulty.
