Well, now we have another alternative for high speed Internet access that will especially interest business users. The service will provide business and residential customers with the equivalent of T1 access to the Internet. Operating at speeds between 1Mb and 3Mb per second, a wireless connection is considerable faster than either a DSL or cable connection. The system operates by broadcasting a signal from a central antenna site and each customer receives the signal via their own antenna. It is also possible to serve multiple offices via one antenna in a building already wired with Ethernet cabling.
Security is accomplished using a firewall device external to the customers computer or network.
Also consider that when DSL is available the accessibility could be limited to 2.5 miles from the switching office in downtown Houlton. With wireless connectivity you get high speed access with excellent security and there are no telephone lines required and no 6 to 8 week waiting periods. MFX will also service indoor and outdoor private wireless networks. All rights reserved.
