Bringing state of the art equipment to bring you the best net
possible. We broadcast our frequencies from towers right to your
house. We in essence set up a huge wireless network to provided the
best Internet service for area's who have little to no options for
broadband service.
We use a large range of radio frequencies to achieve this. Some of
the greatest advantages of our services can be explained rather
simply. The set up of our network in a given area is much
faster then what other providers must endure. Cable companies must
run huge amounts of cable down every street. Phone companies must
add equipment every measured distance just to get the different
forms of DSL to each section of service areas.
The knowire network can simply drop a couple of P2P antenna's and a
broadcaster on a tower in an area with little to no broadband
options and be up and running in no time with very little expense or
over head. |
What
makes us different? Well lets compare.
- DSL - On the slower side
of broadband providers with heavy restrictions on upload. And in
some area's, heavy total bandwidth usage restrictions. A phone
line is required for the service and the quality of your phone
line is a direct factor in your service performance. (We know,
we sell DSL too.)
- Cable - Though cable is
considered today to be one of the best providers of broadband in
North America, there are also some down sides. Moisture in cable
lines can cause a world of hurt to your broadband service. Also,
storms may interfere with huge network of lines of cable strung
from pole to pole.
Also, due to the amount of cost cable companies spend to hang
said cable, they inherently play with numbers frequently. (Your
bill)
- Satellite - Satellite is by far the
worst
form of broadband on the market. Due to the distance traveled
from ground to orbit and back, (with equipment needed to do
such), there is about a 2 second lag on everything you do. Two
way communications are just terrible. Examples of some of these
types of two way communications would be, VPN's, conference
calling, video chat, VoIP, and gaming. Another problem with
satellite service is the cost. Start-up costs range from $500 to
$2000 dollars. And the monthly can be higher than $70 a month
for service. Though it might be over looked if packaged well
with TV service.
- Cell Phone - Cell phone companies are now
starting to offer their own form of broadband. This is using a
wireless based system that is taking great strides to also hit
areas that normally can't be hit. There are however some down
points to this service as well. Cell phone companies have some
of the highest restrictions on bandwidth. Also, the limitations
of upload are a heavy burden as well. In a lot of cases cell
phone service can come in many forms. A simple USB, or PCMCIA
device to receive signal. This requires some planning because if
you use a PCMCIA device for your laptop, in most cases that is
the only PC you will be able to use it on. The rest of the house
will have nothing. If you have more than one pc in your house,
then you may have to get some different equipment from the cell
provider. This, of coarse, will limit your portability of the cell
service to your house and increase start-up cost substantially.
And again, read your contract well! :)
In Knowire service it is difficult to keep track of the advantages
because the rate in which equipment upgrades and service improvement
increase so fast that in the time it took to explain this page of
information, a new wireless product was probably released. In saying
that, when an upgrade to our system is needed, it is a simple change
of some broadcasters. Which translates into a good days work.
The cost of customer equipment to receive our service is dropping as
technology finds better and simpler ways to do things. As a matter
of fact, there has only been one price change in wireless service
with the current companies involved with Knowire, and it has been a
20% drop is service price. Our goal is to be able to provide
broadband service to everyone at dial-up prices. |
