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.

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.

Anything in the path between you and the base station can block the signal. Especially trees and buildings. If you have a clear, optical, line of sight it will almost certainly work.

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.

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.

The general equipment requirement is a "wireless bridge" (a radio transceiver) and a small outdoor antenna. The wireless bridge is enclosed in a white box that must be mounted close to the antenna on your roof. The typical antenna is a small curved grid, slighty less in size than a television dish and roof-mounted in about the same way. Home accounts must have an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) in their computer.

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.

A Tusco.Net Wireless customer must be equipped with a wireless radio, ethernet card and a computer. The wireless radio must be compatible with our equipment.

The radio frequencies used by EPC and RFID are assigned by governments around the world to help ensure that no interference occurs.

Yes. Any device operating on a 2.4 GHz frequency can cause interference. Such devices include Bluetooth and some cordless telephones. Yes. Using the wireless network is one of the many things that will affect your battery's performance. Other factors include the age of the battery, type of battery or laptop, the applications running and the screen brightness. You should look at the power conservation options available on your laptop and plan your use accordingly.

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.

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.

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.

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 exactly what it sounds like. CaribServe.NET connects you to the Internet via a high-speed wireless radio modem, all without the need or usage of phone lines. Thus, there is no need to worry about slow downloads, busy signals, or disconnections anymore, with wireless internet your computer is always on the internet.

Your computer must have a wireless network card installed. Computer manufacturers typically indicate this by saying their equipment is WiFi enabled, or that they support 802.11b or 802.11g wireless networks. On a Macintosh computer this is often referred to as an airport card.

This is a technology for connecting to the internet that uses low power microwave radio signals instead of wires. This technology lets us provide hi-speed service to areas where wired services (DSL & cable) are not available.
