Sheridan County Business are Un-Plugging
the Internet on a daily basis. But, they're not going Offline; they're going
Wireless with ccOrb Wireless Internet. And, it's Fast, Secure and
Affordable. Why and how are they un-plugging?
The "Why" is to save money
every month, by cutting the Phone Company (Telco)
middleman out of the loop. Since most business need a high-speed
connection to the Internet, a standard modem connection is too slow and
expensive when they have to pay those per-minute business phone bills on
top of ISP fees for each user. Traditionally, the only other alternatives
were to get a Frame Relay (shared high-speed connection) or Dedicated
Private Line (non-shared high-speed connection). Both of these options can
cost several thousand dollars every month, since you have to pay the
Internet Service Provider (ISP) several hundred dollars for the high speed
connection to the internet, and then they also have to pay the Phone
Company (Telco) a "local loop" charge to connect the business to the ISP,
which can sometimes cost more than the ISP access fee . With ccOrb's
Wireless Business Access, those Telco Loop Charges are history.
The "How" is done with the
help of ccOrb's Internet radios to receive a
24-hour high-speed connection from our transmitter radios strategically
placed throughout Sheridan County. With ccOrb's Internet Radio Network, any
business can eliminate the monthly Telco charges and still have a highly
secured connection thanks to Spread Spectrum Technology (SST) and
Frequency Sequence Hopping (FSH). This Frequency Hopping technique was
developed by the military over 20 years ago, to prevent unauthorized
reception of their radio waves. By switching the frequency every 400
milli-seconds (4 times per second), even if an unauthorized user
accidentally found your frequency, it would change so fast that they could
not catch it again without knowing your exact frequency-hopping pattern.
Your hopping pattern is confidential, so your connection is
secure.
What speed connection can
ccOrb's Wireless Internet Access give you?
Speeds range from 256 KbPS (Kilobits Per Second) up to 11 MbPS (Megabits
Per Second).
You've read how ccOrb
Communication's Wireless Internet for business compares
to Frame Relay and Dedicated Private Lines, but how do we compare to other
connectivity options, like DSL and Cable Modems?
Well, with DSL (Digital Subscriber Lines) first you have
to be within 3 wire miles of an authorized Telco Central Office. Since the
Sheridan Telco Central Office is not authorized, this eliminates Sheridan
business prospects for DSL.
What about Cable
Modems? Cable modems are not available to most
businesses, since they are aimed at the consumer market and not the
business market that ccOrb is focused on. Cable modems are also
not very practical for business networks because they don't allow
sub-addressing, which is required for Local Area Networks. There are also
security and speed concerns, since so many households will be sharing that
Cable modem connection to the Internet, you could slow down to regular
dialup modem speeds.
The only requirements for
a Wireless connection to the Internet from ccOrb
Comminications is that your building be "visible" to one of our
strategically located transmitters in Sheridan County. We'll come to your
office building and perform a FREE Site Survey to verify "visibility" and
radio reception range. Once visibility has been verified, we'll schedule
the receiving antenna installation so you can get Un-Plugged and Connected
at the same time! There are also a variety of Wireless radios to fit most
any network configuration to suit your specific needs.
ccOrb's Wireless
connection, not only gives you a 24-hour Internet
connection, you can also use it to expand your Local Area Network (LAN)
without having to re-wire your offices. A Wireless PCMCIA card can even
convert any portable computer with a Type II slot into a Wireless LAN
workstation that can roam within the LAN.
