Amerion High-Speed Wireless Features
- The first high-speed network available on a widespread basis complimented by the most extensive dial-up network in North America.
- No cable has to be laid or modifications made to existing copper wires.
- Provides throughput speeds up to 11 Mbps -- anywhere from 10 to 20 times faster than DSL or cable modems.
- Most subscribers not only receive a signal but also serve as a repeater in the network, thereby strengthening the signal for other users.
- The installation process is simple. Installation takes minutes, not weeks where one must wait to have DSL installed.
- Wireless broadband uses electromagnetic airwaves (radio or infrared) to communicate information from one point to another without relying on any physical connection.
- A transmitter/receiver (transceiver) device, called an access point, connects to the wired network from a fixed location using standard cabling.
- End-users access the network through the wireless network, which are implemented as PC cards in notebook or palmtop computers, or as cards in desktop computers.
- Amerion has designed its network to operate in portions of the radio spectrum -- the 2.4 GHz unlicensed spectrum -- where the FCC does not require the end-user to purchase a license to use the airwaves. Utilization of unlicensed spectrum allows Amerion to set up network infrastructure quickly and at a fraction of the cost of licensed bands.
- Applications work the same as they do on wired networks.
- Wireless networking products incorporate a variety of diagnostic tools to address issues associated with the wireless elements of the system; however, products are designed so that most users rarely need these tools.
- Because wireless technology has roots in military applications, security has long been a design criterion for wireless devices. Amerion has built security provisions into its wireless network, making them more secure than most wired networks. It is extremely difficult for unintended receivers (eavesdroppers) to listen in on wireless network traffic. Complex encryption techniques make it impossible for all but the most sophisticated to gain unauthorized access to network traffic. In general, individual nodes must be security-enabled before they are allowed to participate in network traffic.
- Wireless networks can be designed to be extremely simple or quite complex. Wireless networks can support large numbers of end-users and/or large physical areas by adding access points to boost or extend coverage.
- The output power of wireless network systems is very low, much less than that of a hand-held cellular phone. Since radio waves fade rapidly over distance, very little exposure to RF energy is provided to those in the area of a wireless network system. Wireless networks must meet stringent government and industry regulations for safety. No adverse health affects have ever been attributed to wireless networks.
