Our signal will penetrate the walls of most buildings. It will not pass through live trees, but is unaffected by plastic trees. The general rule of thumb is that the radio signal will pass through anything that doesn't contain water or metal. See similar questions...

Short answer, No. However, your speed may decrease by up to 50% during torrential downpours of 6" per hour or more. Luckily, this type of rain is very rare in our coverage areas. Wireless links are not affected by fog, smog, snow or non-torrential rain. See similar questions...

Trees and foliage will interfere with these frequencies more than most people realize. Keep this in mind if doing installations in the wintertime, or you will be surprised when springtime rolls around ! Been there, done that! Trees and foliage contain moisture, so they absorb microwaves. Plus, they break up the Fresnel Zone, causing multi-path interference. See similar questions...

Buildings with a stucco exterior generally contain a metal wire mesh material which has been known to affect the wireless signal inside of homes. For this reason, a wireless modem is highly recommended in order to receive maximum signal strength and bandwidth rates. Copyright © 2006-2007 US Internet Corp.

There are known issues with interference, including (but not limited to) amateur radios, existing microwave towers or antennas, and other 2.4 or 5.8 Ghz wireless devices. If you have a 2.4 Ghz cordless phone, you will need to locate it at least 10 feet away from your computer, antenna cable, and/or antenna. See similar questions...

The BlackBerry handheld communicates using radio frequency just like a cellular phone. Coverage is affected by anything that interferes with radio waves. For example, you might find that the radio signal is stronger outside a building compared to inside. See similar questions...

No. The technology used by Phoenix Internet operates at very low power levels, similar to a cell phone, and much less than the amount that is emitted by your microwave oven. Also, radio frequency power drops dramatically as you move away from the power source. Typically, our antennas would not be placed where any person would be able to stand right in front of it for any significant period of time. See similar questions...

Yes, both will diminish the signal. For that reason you will need a clear line-of-sight to one of our access points. Yes and no. Large amounts of rain or snow may diminish the signal, but wet weather also evens the air temperature. This reduces problems with interference issues such as fade drift, thereby increasing your speeds. At most you may see a 10% reduction in speed during a heavy rain or snow storm.

Answer: No. But it can wirelessly extend the range of a WDS network that is being hosted by an AirPort Extreme Base Station or another AirPort Express. See similar questions...

No. Increasing the number of users does not affect the speed. While sharing high-speed between multiple computers does not affect speed, some activities that require large amounts of bandwidth (i.e., streaming video or a large graphics transfer) may cause some delays. See similar questions...

Answer: No, though you can turn the transmission strength down to a minimum setting. To prevent unauthorized access, you can turn on wireless security features. Answer: No, but this feature is available to Education customers as an AirPort Extreme Base Station model. See similar questions...

a) Performance of any wireless device can be affected by interference from other devices like cordless phones, microwave oven, and neighbouring networks. Please change your wireless channel to 1~13 (except 1, 6 and 11) to see if the signal improves. See similar questions...

You may want to consider changing your router to channel 1, 6, 11. Channel 6 is the most commonly used channel for 2.4 Ghz devices (including cordless phones, wireless keyboards and mice). In most cases you will get the maximum range on channel 1. Make sure that the router in question is positioned in the highest point available. For example, if the building is two stories high, you need to place the router on the second floor - not the first floor. See similar questions...

The wireless signal of the Access Point usually can cover a radius coverage of 50m in the closed environment. (i.e. the space is separated by floor-to-ceiling brick walls) Wireless signal is good within 25m. Beyond 25m, wireless signal strength will become weaker and data rate will drop. Actual performance may be varied depending on the radio conditions at the locations where the Access Points are installed. See similar questions...

The Mobilescape terminal can perform an offline transaction. The receipt is still printed and the transaction is stored in the terminal. Later, when the Mobilescape re-enters a coverage area, it will automatically transmit any stored transactions. Back Top See similar questions...

Cellular/PCS wireless is also available from AT&T, Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. Nextel has declined the opportunity to participate. Currently there are several kiosks which offer travelers internet connections, in addition to the standard dial service offered by the phone company via the RJ-11 jacks in the pay phones.

Wireless Internet access is -- as its name implies -- access to the internet without wires. Instead of using a phone line or HFC (hybrid fibre coaxial) cable to hook onto the internet, one of the many popular wireless technologies are used. The wireless ethernet technology, known as IEEE 802.11 is traditionally used in wireless networking devices like Apple's Airport and the Lucent/Orinoco WaveLAN series. These devices use non-directional antennas, and offer a range of about 50 to 150 meters. See similar questions...
