Imagine a 24 hour connection to the Internet 365 days of the year WITHOUT ANY TELEPHONE BILLS. Now that can be a reality. We are able to offer you a permanent connection to the Internet from 64K bits to 3M bits via our wireless LAN, instantly reducing your telephone bill.
This technology can also be deployed anywhere to link your networks together.
Why You Need a RadioLAN
In many places it is impossible, or not desirable to use physical cabling for a local area network.
- If the company premises are in a house of cultural interest or a museum, maybe you are not allowed to drill holes in the walls.
- If the company has two premises separated by a road, it is not possible to lay a network across it. On temporary premises, like for example building sites, it may be difficult to establish a permanent network. If the network is to be extended to mobile units, like forklifts in a warehouse, cranes in a harbour, service cars at an airport etc., permanent cabling is impossible.
- Many businesses run on a low budget and have to limit all costs. At the same time they have to keep up with the pace of technology and connect all offices to a network and to the Internet. Having to pay the telecommunications authority for leased lines between the offices, would quickly tip the budget over.
- Wireless networks are now standardised and the prices are falling. In some cases it would be possible to avoid all cabling and choose a wireless solution from the beginning.
- On premises where the workstations are moved time after time, cabling may become impractical, for example in large supermarkets, where temporary POS terminals are set up and moved at regular intervals, in exhibition halls etc.
In these cases, a wireless network may be the solution. The users, at their workstations, will not know if they are connected to the network by cable or if the network is distributed via radio.
altoHiway uses equipment from BreezeCOM to implement this service. The RadioLAN works on the scientific band (2.4 GHz) and requires no licence to operate.
One of the major benefits of this technology is the flexibility it offers over a Leased Line connection:
- Lower cost.
- Instant upgrade to higher bandwidth (at no additional set-up cost).
- Ability to share a connection with others to reduce cost.
- Multiple point connections on the same line.
- There are two types of connection to the altoHiway Radio LAN, these are DEDICATED and SHARED.
A dedicated connection allows you access to the Internet on a dedicated bandwidth of 1Mbps to 3Mbps.
A Shared connection allows you access to a bandwidth up to 64Kbps at a fraction of the cost of a leased line.
