Wireless Internet Access

So your looking for Wireless Internet Access.  Your in luck.  Today there are a multitude of ways to have Internet Access from anywhere in the world.  Broadband Internet is no longer just available to a desktop computer or workstation. In a nutshell, here are your options - EVDO, WIFI, Satellite and soon Wimax.

The most popular of these broadband wireless services is called EVDO. Today, all of your nationwide cellular carriers such as Verizon Wireless, Nextel, Sprint, Cingular and T--Mobile offer high speed, broadband wireless internet access. This is the way to go today.  Most plans start around $49.99 per month, with the average around $59.99.

This is what you need ;

  • For Just in Home Wireless Internet Access - use 802.11 WiFi
  • For Internet in most of America - Subscribe to EVDO
  • Travel the 4 Corners of the World - Satellite

EVDO (Evolution Data Optimization - Revision A)

EVDO is broadband wireless internet service. In the same way WiFi became a household word years ago, the newer, more powerful EVDO Service offers to further liberate the way you do "business" once again. EVDO works most everywhere your cell phone does. Unlike satellite internet, the equipment you need for EVDO is portable and fits in your pocket. Adding to your mobility, EVDO has about a 15mile range from every Verizon or Sprint Cell Phone Tower vs. WiFi, which has about a 50foot range from a "Starbucks" or home office. EVDO is the perfect solution for anyone who travels across the US and would like Internet Access anywhere.  If your a business, you cant live without it.

EVDO consistently delivers about 700 - 800kbps. BUT in many instances you can achieve peak bursts of 2meg per second on the downlink.  EVDO RevA  (Sprint is by the leader) is guaranteed to be 2000k+ on the downlink and almost 700K on the uplink.  This is faster than most home DSL connections. 

Our Recommendation:  Sprint-Nextel as Best Broadband Wireless Provider.  They offer Unlimited Data, (unlike Verizon who claims they offer unlimited data until you read the small print and find there are a bunch of exceptions), a Great Rate of less than $60 per month, Free EVDO Cards and they have already blown past Verizon in rolling out EVDO Rev A. - the next generation.  They also have better coverage than Verizon.

WiFi ( 802.11 )

Wifi is a localized technology.  If you need wireless internet access only within your home or office then this is prefect for you.  Once you leave your home or office, you will not be connected to the internet unless you find a "Hot Spot".  A "Hot Spot" is a place where you can receive WiFi (802.11) signal and hook up to the internet thru another person's local network.  An example would be Starbucks.  Many places offer WiFi access but the majority of these places charge as much as $9.95 per day for you to connect.  If you will be leaving your local WiFi connection often - you would be financially better off to enroll in an EVDO service instead.  WIFi is not as secure as EVDO - so be careful.  

Cheap Wireless Networking Equipment

802.11b and 802.11g standards use the 2.4 GHz (gigahertz) band, operating (in the United States) under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Because of this choice of frequency band, 802.11b and 802.11g equipment will suffer interference from microwave ovens, cordless telephones, Bluetooth devices, baby and security monitors, amateur radio and other appliances using this same band.

If WiFi is for you - then click here.  You can purchase a simple wireless router, hook it up to your Cable or DSL box and be off and running within 20 minutes. You will need an 802.11 connection card - many of the new notebook computers already have this built in.

Satellite

HughesNet is a provider of internet access via two-way satellite. It is very secure, very fast, very reliable, and now more affordable than ever. It is different than your satellite TV dish, which is one-way (only receives TV signals). HughesNet both receives and sends signals (download and upload). Download speeds range from 700 Kbps - 2.0 Mbps. Dial-up downloads at 28 Kbps - 56 Kbps. That's an incredibly fast difference! HughesNet is also always on and doesn't tie up your phone line. The new HughesNet Spaceway satellite, scheduled to go into orbit August 2007, will drastically increase download and upload speeds of all plans. The new satellite will enable connectivity rates from 512 Kbps to up to 16 Mbps, that's faster than Cable and DSL combined!

Satellite High Speed Internet from $29.99/month

Installation in as little as 7 days and even save $100 with Mail-In-Rebate. HughesNet® is bringing the internet to those who previously thought they were stuck with slow dial-up. Now everyone can experience the internet the way it is meant to, at lightning fast speed!
