Wi-Max Wireless Internet Service

Wi-Max does not require physical wires (copper or fiber) to your home. And does not require you to have local phone service
There is a small flat antenna panel (7” x 7”x 1.5”) that attaches to your home or a pole in your yard. An ethernet cable then runs from the antenna into your home and is connected to, what we call, a powerbrick which is A/C powered from your home. Your router then plugs into the power brick.

Wi-Max also requires a ‘base station’ that is attached to one of our communications towers and is connected to the Internet via redundant fiber optic network. The base station communicates with the antenna on your house and provides access to the internet.

But like all wireless technologies it only goes so far and requires line of sight to our communications tower. As a result, we offer a free site survey to determine if Wi-Max will work in your location.

Wi-Max Wireless – Equipment and Installation

Wi-Max is a proprietary technology developed by Telrad and requires Telrad equipment at your home. The first piece of equipment is a flat square antenna measuring 7”x 7” x 1.5”. This is attached to your home, or other suitable structure, facing one of our communication towers.

An ethernet cable is then connected to the antenna and the other end is run into your house and connected to what we call a ‘power brick’. The ‘power brick’ requires access to an electrical outlet and is the device that your home router is connected to. But like all wireless technologies it only goes so far and requires line of sight to our communication towers. As a result we offer a free site survey to determine if Wi-Max will work for you.
