HOW WIRELESS WORKS

Here is an overview of how our wireless system works. If you've ever wondered how you can be connected to the internet, send and receive e-mails and much more without some physical wire between you and the world, the following will shed some light and hopefully answer some of your questions.

Radio waves start from the Radio Transmitter. A collection of electronic components wired together create an electromagnetic signal. Data is added to this signal and together they travel up a piece of cable to the antenna. The antenna radiates the signal in free space. If you stand on a bridge and drop a rock into a pond, you'll see ripples spreading out equally in all directions. Now picture the rock, the instant it hits the water, as an antenna transmitting. That is a physical description of radio waves leaving an antenna. The reverse is true for an antenna intercepting waves from another antenna. The radio signal is unaffected by rain, snow or fog. It is one of those things that we cannot see or feel but we can create and measure.

Whether you are sending or requesting information, the speed between your location and Last Mile Wireless stay the same. (that is, 300 000 000 metres per second) Try comparing that to say, a piece of Coax Cable or even a piece of copper wire like a Phone line. By the way, all Coax cable and wire are measured against the "speed of light" and are merely a percentage of that. Speed of light of course being the fastest thing ever known to mankind. For example certain Coax Cables might have a VOP (velocity of propagation) meaning the speed at which information travels along the wire of 87%.....you get the point.

Last Mile Wireless Internet (LMWI) provides a high-speed wireless service that uses the microwave band of Frequencies. LMWI currently deploys the signal from several different locations to residence and businesses in Greater Fort Erie, Port Colborne, Wainfleet, Welland, Niagara Falls, Thorold, and surrounding area. Customers connect to this network using wireless radio modem hardware supplied by us. The signal is supported by a fiber backbone (high-speed fiber optics that connects to the internet superhighway). Most homes and businesses are connected using the outdoor Line-of-Site and non-line-of-site radio modem. We are very proud of our ability to research and have manufactured quality equipment that is both powerful and problem free...a step above all other wireless providers in the area.

POINT TO POINT

Imagine having your own Local Area network. You are sitting in your office "A" at location "1". You want to quickly access that file in office "B" at location "2". Last Mile Wireless Point to Point system can allow you to bridge those two locations at a fraction of the cost of Fibre or other Microwave links.

We use patented technology point-to-point radios in an unclustered frequency range thereby giving you peace of mind. We don't stop here in the Niagara region either. Find out how you can use one internet connection for multiple sites. Have one internet connection and share it with your other locations through a radio link. Our 11 or 54 mbps radios are a snap to deploy and they perform flawlessly. Contact us for references and find out of the many businesses that are benefiting from the Last Mile Solution.

POINT TO MULTIPOINT

Last Mile Wireless Fixed Point-to-Multipoint system (P-MP) consists of a broadband wireless base station in several areas within the Niagara Falls to Fort Erie region and offers a powerful answer to clients seeking reliable High-Speed Internet connectivity.

Our Smart Polling base stations is carrier grade and can deliver very high throughput data to businesses and residents seeking to communicate through the information super highway. Our system can reliably communicate several miles, line of sight not being an issue.

Our antennas are custumized to each clients unique situations (distance, line of sight etc.). Free site surveys are performed by our technicians prior to installation to establish the right amount of gain for the antenna used at each location.
