 How does it work?
 |
| Examples of antennas and mounts. |
|
|
Using wireless radio equipment, an antenna is installed on your property,
communicating to one of our wireless repeaters to which the antenna has
line-of-sight. The signal is then sent from the antenna,
to
the
wireless
radio.
Broadband internet is distributed from there to your computer.
What is the range?
We have successfully tested up to
50km away from our repeaters. IMPORTANT: This
depends on Line-of-Site: no trees, hedges or buildings are to block the
view of where the antenna is to be mounted.
What equipment do I
need?
The following is a description of the equipment required to
install in order to connect with our Wireless network. For any questions regarding
installation, site feasibility, etc, please contact us.
We can do a Site Check to ensure you will receive a signal from us, or to
discuss with you how we can help if line-of-sight is not possible.
Equipment
is
provided
and

Antenna
The size of the Antenna depends on signal strength. The antenna is positioned on
your property, often the roof, to have direct line of site with our network.
See images below for examples of how the antenna is mounted.
Wireless
Radio
The
radio connects to our long-range network and distributes the internet locally to your computer.
It requires power (240V).
Network
Cable
A
network cable is connected directly between the antenna and the
network
card
in
your
computer.
The
cable
can
be
up
to
30 meters in length.
Network
Card
You
will
need
a
network
card
in
your
computer.
We
can
supply
for
an
extra
$20.00.
