Orange County Business are Un-Plugging
the Internet on a daily basis.
But, they're not going Offline; they're going Wireless with Global
Pacific Wireless Internet. And, it's Fast, Secure and Affordable. Why and
how are they un-plugging?
The
"Why" is to save
money every month, by cutting the Phone Company
(Telco) middleman out of the loop. Since most business need a high-speed
connection to the Internet, a standard modem connection is too slow and
expensive when they have to pay those per-minute business phone bills on
top of ISP fees for each user. Traditionally, the only other alternatives
were to get a Frame Relay (shared high-speed connection) or Dedicated Private
Line (non-shared high-speed connection). Both of these options can cost
several thousand dollars every month, since you have to pay the Internet
Service Provider (ISP) several hundred dollars for the high speed connection
to the internet, and then they also have to pay the Phone Company (Telco)
a "local loop" charge to connect the business to the ISP, which
can sometimes cost more than the ISP access fee . With Global Pacific's
Wireless Business Access, those Telco Loop Charges are history.
The "How" is done with
the help of Global's Internet radios to receive
a 24-hour high-speed connection from our transmitter radios strategically
placed throughout Orange County. With Global's Internet Radio Network, any
business can eliminate the monthly Telco charges and still have a highly
secured connection thanks to Spread Spectrum Technology (SST) and Frequency
Sequence Hopping (FSH). This Frequency Hopping technique was developed by
the military over 20 years ago, to prevent unauthorized reception of their
radio waves. By switching the frequency every 400 milli-seconds (4 times
per second), even if an unauthorized user accidentally found your frequency,
it would change so fast that they could not catch it again without knowing
your exact frequency-hopping pattern. Your hopping pattern is confidential,
so your connection is secure.
What speed connection can Global's
Wireless Internet Access give you? Speeds range
from 256 KbPS (Kilobits Per Second) up to 3 MbPS (Megabits Per Second).
Ten-Megabit radios are being tested now, and should be available in the
near future.
You've read how Global Pacific's Wireless Internet for business compares to Frame Relay and Dedicated Private Lines, but how do
we compare to other connectivity options, like DSL and Cable Modems?
Well, with DSL (Digital Subscriber Lines) first you have
to be within 3 wire miles of an authorized Telco Central Office. Since the
Telco Central Offices are not on every corner, this eliminates most business
prospects for DSL. You also have to be in a building that doesn't have too
many phone lines since there is a high incidence of interference or leakage.
If your phone line has ever been cut, there is also a good chance that DSL
will not work in your situation. It's been estimated that only a small percentage
of businesses that are within range even qualifies for a clean DSL connection.
What about Cable Modems? Cable modems are not available to most businesses, since they
are aimed at the consumer market and not the business market that Global
Pacific is focused on. Cable modems are also not very practical for business
networks because they don't allow sub-addressing, which is required for
Local Area Networks. There are also security and speed concerns, since so
many households will be sharing that Cable modem connection to the Internet,
you could slow down to regular dialup modem speeds.
The only requirements
for a Wireless connection to the Internet from
Global Pacific is that your building be "visible" to one of our
many strategically located transmitters in Orange County. We'll come to
your office building and perform a FREE Site Survey to verify "visibility"
and radio reception range. Once visibility has been verified, we'll schedule
the receiving antenna installation so you can get Un-Plugged and Connected
at the same time! There are also a variety of Wireless radios to fit most
any network configuration to suit your specific needs.
Global Pacific's Wireless
connection, not only gives you a 24-hour Internet
connection, you can also use it to expand your Local Area Network (LAN)
without having to re-wire your offices. A Wireless PCMCIA card can even
convert any portable computer with a Type II slot into a Wireless LAN workstation
that can roam within the LAN.
