The Pahrump Valley now has one of the
most advanced and fastest growing technologies for the exchange
of digital data. High Speed Wireless Internet Access.
Pahrump was the second community in Nevada, next to Reno,
to have this unique capability, which enhances the quality of
life, not only for the residential user, but also for
businesses providing a dynamic thrust to the economic growth of the business community. There
are many significant advantages to fixed wireless service resulting
from the cost effective use of high-speed digital access that eliminates
the dependency on the local loops from the local "Telco" and expensive
DSU/CSU equipment. No more dedicated phone lines; no more disconnects
and no more logging on. Wireless provides a true "unlimited" service
and freedom from slow and sometimes obsolete copper phone lines.
Spread Spectrum
Air-Internet.Com's first phase network uses Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology that provides a higher quality
of security and reliability, because of the difficulty to jam or
detect signals. The military has used and developed this technology
over two decades and it is now emerging as the leading edge for
commercial applications. Spread spectrum is a highly efficient way
of using radio waves to communicate, because it enables multiple
users to share radio frequencies at the same time, usually without interfering
with each other. Spread spectrum's efficient use of available bandwidth helps to
connect small rural communities, such as Pahrump, and other outlying
areas to the Internet. Today, one can access the
Internet using a spread-spectrum radio without incurring any telephone charges.
With just the cost of the radio gear and low monthly access
charge, high speed wireless internet is now highly affordable.
Because of the great success and quality of the Spread
Spectrum system, lately many new products utilizing this
system have arrived to the marketplace, such as phones and
wireless home routers. Because of this popularity there have
been many transmitters deployed throught the valley which
may cause interference with this type of technology. Before deploying Air-Internet
will perform a rf spectrum survey and decide wether or not
the location is feasable to provide the quality of service and speeds we owe our
reputation to. If deployment is not possible due to high
noise thresholds, then connectivity to the Mesh Network
(Phase 2) will be suggested. In fact today, approximately 85% of all deployments are on the
mesh network due to this fact.
Pahrump Wireless Mesh Network
Air-Internet.Com has deployed a second phase network.
This is a newer carrier class network utilizing the latest Mesh Network Technology.
The advantages of this new network are many, including the
ability for the network to self heal; the network can still
operate even when a tower site breaks down or a connection
goes bad. The new technology also has significant speed improvement
over the older spread spectrum technology which will
allow the customers to further enjoy the high multimedia
content that the internet delivers today.
What is Required?
· Wireless is a Line-of-Site radio
transmission path to one of our MANY repeater sites through
out the valley from a small antenna at your property.
· There can be no obstructions such as buildings
or trees with foliage blocking the path of the signal.
· To enjoy the high speeds of Wireless Internet access
we recommend a recently modern computer systems using Windows Vista, XP/NT or 2000.
Windows 98 will also work but may not operate as fast as necessary.
If you use a Mac a recent Mac os there are no problems.
· A professional setup, which is a hallmark
of Air-Internet.Com, is critical to the success of your service.
It is important that we sell only the highest quality parts
and above all, your antenna should be finely positioned
to obtain maximum signal strength.
Advantages
· Service can be activated in a matter of days.
· Once line of site has been established,
the connection isn't susceptible to the type of weather
related or accidental outages that can occur with wired networks especially during floods.
· The internet of today is providing more and more
media rich conent which is very large in filesize as well as the
graphic intensive sites. Everyone with a slow modem connection knows the
frustration involved in trying to view these types of sites.
So advantage 1: Speed. There are few things more frustrating then
being disconnected in the middle of downloading data, especially
if it is a large file. Enter advantage number 2: No Disconnects.
You find it very inconvenient not to be able to receive normal phone
calls while surfing or researching on the Internet and have subscribed
to a second phone line or are contemplating in doing so.
Advantage number 3: No phone lines. You probably have had Internet
Service Providers (ISP's) who have price structures on a metering
basis where you are charged so much a minute or hour. Or an ISP
who may limit your time to so many hours per month or offers what
is said to be unlimited when in actuality there were limits; are
you ready for this?? Advantage number 4: UNLIMITED. Let me define
what we mean by unlimited. We mean you are connected to the Internet
anytime your computer is turned on and it means 24 x7 if you can
handle it and for no extra charge. Oh and did I mention, No log-in's.
No sitting waiting for your computer to go through the dial-up connection
process and No busy signals.
OK, let's review: No Phone line required. Right
there you are saving money; on an average of $20.00 per month! Now with a
modem system you dial in, but now, No log-ins. You are on the World
Wide web when ever your computer is on., which means: No busy signals.
And if you don't log-in you can't experience No Disconnects you are online
24 hours a day 7 days a week which translates to UNLIMITED. Yes,
unlimited service in the true meaning of the word. And with: Speed
We are committed to speeds well in excess of ISDN's (128Kbit) capability and are constantly
doing system upgrades to try other methods of data delivery!

Each business will have
a unique requirement dependent upon the number of computers, whether
they are networked or not and the intended use of the computers
will determine the appropriate amount of bandwidth required.
Firewalls
Air-Internet.Com strongly
recommends the use of a firewall on your computer system. Most of the
recent Windows operating systems contain a built in firewall. However
