While
originally developed for in-building use, the potential
of WLAN technology for bridging LANs of different buildings
in a cost efficient manner was quickly identified -
with WLAN technology the need to dig or pay leased-line
charges is circumvented.
WLAN
or Fixed Wireless is a proven technology building on
decades of radio evolution. The popularity of this technology
has lead to a dramatic fall in prices and the emergence
of highly competitive purpose built proprietary second
generation wireless broadband solutions.

Wireless
Broadband technology is based on similar principles
to television and radio communications. An Amocom
base station provides Internet connections to
customers using the airwaves. To connect it is
necessary for a customer to have a subscriber
unit installed on their premises. The subscriber
unit is discreet in size and needs to be located
so that it is within Line of Sight of an Amocom
Net base station. An ethernet cable is run from
the subscriber unit delivering the Network termination
Point to the PC/Router located in the customers
building. Amocom Net provides a Network Termination
Point and 1 network IP address to each customer.

A
spare socket is required beside the PC or router, which
powers the subscriber unit using a Power over Ethernet
adapter. Amocom Net has selected and constructed purpose
built proprietary technologies that deliver a scalable
solution that will ensure secure, reliable, uninterrupted
service as our network grows.
