What is Wireless Internet Service?

Wireless Internet Service provides high-speed access to the internet without reliance on a phone line.  Similar to a radio signal, data is transmitted to and from your computer using antennas.  You do not have to wait for your modem to dial up.  Just open your internet browser, and you're quickly connected.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why should I use wireless technology?

You should use this technology if you want or need reliable high speed internet access.

Is this like satellite service?

No.  Rather than communication from one antenna to another with several feet or a few miles, such as wireless internet service, satellite service bounces a signal out of the atmosphere to an orbiting satellite and then back to a central location.  With satellite service, weather can become an issue, as can the sheer distance the signal has to travel.

How fast is it?

1M upload and download.

What kind of equipment does JCWIFI provide?

	An antenna mounted outdoors for long distance communication to send the wireless signal.
	100 feet of cable to connect the antenna to the computer.

Is wireless internet service safe?

In most cases, the system's transmitter will emit less power than a cellular telephone.  Antennas are usually installed at least 12 feet above the ground.

Is it secure?

Yes, Information traveling from your computer to our first tower is encrypted using industry standard methods. Once your information arrives at our tower, the data is encrypted using secure proprietary technology; however, for added security, a customer may choose to secure the router from within
their home/office.

Can anything hamper my ability to receive service?

A line-of-site is almost always needed for the connection.  Although normal weather conditions such as rain and lightning are not an issue, obstructions such as buildings, trees or hills can affect service if an antenna isn't installed high enough.  Distance can also affect service.  Some customers can receive service from as far as nine miles away. 

How many email accounts can I have?

Up to five.

Can I get a static IP address?

Yes, for an additional fee.
