WIRELESS INTERNET ANTENNA Worthless is going deep to realize that Internet has become an integral element of present day-to-day life. While using Internet everybody must have found a bit of nervousness at the time when one cannot properly establish a connection, or loses the connection in-between. It becomes irritating when a whole day is about to end, and we could not have checked our e-mails, news on net, or interesting
web sites.
The time has arrived and you can access the
WORLD WIDE WEB without the use of any cables or wires. This is a new magic now possible through the system of Wireless Internet. People all over the world are now using this wireless device for all purposes. What is necessitated is a
radio antenna with a small satellite dish. The wireless Internet is so easily accessible with the superhighway information that you need not wait for the re-connection. If there is the computer turned on, and you are on the net, there will be continuous access. Wireless Internet enables you with more flexibility because you are not confined to any time or place, and can go on line from anywhere any moment. The use of wireless Internet access has greatly modified the world of Internet, which is a major technological break-though at present. There is detailed information available on Wireless Internet- the access, services, providers etc., which has an affiliation with Configuring Wireless Networks.
The access of wireless Internet is a form of high speed or Broadband Internet access that manipulates the radio frequency instead of cable or phone lines. With this there will be no slow downloads, disconnections, or signals of unavailability.
The service of wireless Internet is basically a new technology, which grants connection speeds up to 1.5 Megabits per second or even more than that. This is as fast as a standard speeds T-1 line and up to 50 times faster than the 28.8 Kbps modem. There is lot of ISP’s providing cost effective solutions with a high speed for Internet access via wireless without the use of any phone lines.
Now, the question arises what equipment will be needed for all this. A user will require a receiver radio, adapter, pigtail, and the antenna. This wireless Internet connection speed grants the user to connect at speeds anywhere from 128kbps up to 6.544mbps, as equal to the speed of a 4T1 connections. A typical antenna is 12" tall x 3.5" wide, which weighs less than 1 pound. There also lies an issue concerning a permission of HOA approval to fit this antenna on your building, home, or office. A Telecommunication Act section 207 of 1996 prohibits restrictions on the use of Over-the-Air Reception Devices from government concerning cities or counties, or non-government concerning landlords or homeowner associations entities. This pertains to antennas less than 1 meter in diameter as well as less than 12 feet above the roofline. For any guidelines regarding the placement of the antenna you may contact your homeowners association or landlord.
Wireless Broadband Internet is affordable with high speed. There are towers located in your city, which beam a wireless
signal to an antenna mounted at the roof or on the side of your home. Wireless Internet provides high speed service via a state-of-the-art wireless broadband system. Differing from the DSL, there is no dependency of legacy telephone or cable TV infrastructure. Differing from the satellite with a 23,000-mile path up and down, there is no delay of the performance.
For a typical installation, you need a small 3” x 11” antenna mounted on the roof that connects directly to one of the base stations located within a stipulated area. The base stations are on the other hand connected to a high-speed Ethernet-over-fiber connection to the Internet. The air-link involving the customer and the base station is a proprietary system that asks for authentication and encryption to protect against rogue users, attackers, etc. While a customer antenna connects to a broadband router or directly to a PC via a standard CAT 5 Ethernet cable. An AC adapter turns on the antenna over the CAT 5 cable. The Dial-up system operates at 56Kbps, while this service operates from 128Kbps to 1,500Kbps as per the service plan subscribed, which is a performance improvement of 5 to 25 times dial-up. Unlike DSL or Cable Modem, this service will not depend on telephone or cable TV infrastructure. This enables the service to get to many neighborhoods where DSL and Cable Modem are unable or unwilling to go.
Wireless broadband with antenna sometimes gets confused with Satellite because they both happen to be forms of wireless communication. The difference is that the antenna uses a terrestrial microwave system with short-range wireless links that are no more than 2-3 miles away. While the Satellite links have a large propagation delay in order to the roughly 23,000-mile distance to geosynchronous satellites. Regardless of bandwidth speed, this latency entails a big performance penalty on two-way interactive applications. Therefore, Satellite could be considered as a last resort for Internet service.
It has been an issue recently about the security issues of Wireless LAN technology known as 802.11b or Wi-Fi. If the customer uses the default settings with most Wi-Fi products, an outsider can easily get onto the network. To be more secure, you need to change a few settings. Moreover, the weather effects on Microwave radio signals differ based on the frequency and the distance the signal travels. The signal degradation due to snow, heavy rain, or fog is insignificant.
There is no health or safety concerns with this antenna. The technology operates at a level of very low power, which is similar to a cell phone. Also, as you move away from the power source, the radio frequency power drops significantly. Obviously, the antennas will not be placed where any one could stand right in front of it for a long time.
