|
What is Wireless Internet Access
?
Wireless Internet Network Access Points (Wi-Fi Hotspots)
provide high-speed internet access within a limited area to any
device equipped to communicate with the Wireless Network. For example, a Wi-Fi Hotspot could be used to provide Wireless Broadband Internet Access
within a restaurant or hotel lobby
What does Wi-Fi mean ?
Wi-Fi is short for 'Wireless Fidelity'.
In short, it refers to the technology that supports high quality, high
speed, wireless network access.
What is an Access Point ?
An 'Access Point' is the device that converts network
signals to radio waves. Data is fed to the Access Point through an
Ethernet connection. An internal radio makes a connection with another
radio installed in the client computer. The data is then transmitted
over this radio link.
How does the Wi-Fi Network
communicate with the Internet?
A Wi-Fi Network requires a dedicated, Broadband
connection to the Internet. Usually this is provided by service such as DSL
Broadband, however in some cases, a T1 or even a T3 may be used.
Do I need an existing Internet
connection to install a Wi-Fi Network?
No. SurfCity Networks will provision and install a
Broadband connection. SurfCity Networks is a leader in Broadband
Internet connectivity and has the highest customer satisfaction rating
of any regional Broadband provider.
What if I already have Broadband
Internet Access?
No Problem. SurfCity Networks can determine if your
existing Broadband Access can be used for our Wi-Fi Networks.
Can I use a Dial-up connection for
Wireless Internet Access ?
Quite simply, no.
Can I use the Broadband Internet
connection if my PC does not have Wi-Fi hardware ?
Absolutely. During the preliminary Site Survey, we can
plan any network cabling that will be required to connect to any
computers without Wi-Fi capability. Of course, adding Wi-Fi hardware to
any computer is very easy and would allow you to freely roam your
business while still maintaining Internet connectivity.
