Frequently Asked Questions

- Q: What technology are you using?
- A: The world's best. We didn't skimp. We're using the fastest, most reliable commercial grade equipment available. It's engineered for rural broadband deployments and it has been tested to provide the best opportunity to overcome the trees and roving hills that are the biggest obstacles to broadband wireless. It can only overcome so much, but the equipment being used WILL give you the best chance of receiving a signal at your home. In fact, you can check out our coverage maps here.
- Q: How does it work?
- A: An antenna (about 8" square in most cases) is mounted on the eave or roof of your home or other nearby structure. The antenna is aimed at one of our towers. A cable is run into your home and connected to your computer or wireless router. The antenna communicates with the tower using a secure connection.
