Technology - How Does It Work?

Wireless Broadband Internet Access service is very similar to DSL or Cable Modem, but delivered to the home or business via high-speed wireless technology. WeCare will provide the “Last Mile” of access from the subscriber’s location to the internet. However, DSL or Cable Modem access speeds can be limited by the user’s distance from a central office or can be substantially slowed when shared with increased numbers of users. In contrast, the technology used by WeCare utilizes a point-to-point connection and therefore is not slowed by distance or by more users accessing the network. WeCare manages each user’s bandwidth individually, thus providing a consistently rich internet experience.

WeCare’s solution utilizes next generation technology in the FCC approved 2.4 and 5.8 GHz unlicensed wireless frequencies. The network architecture utilizes the advanced 802.16 media access control for improved service levels and security. The use of this technology ensures that only authorized users can access the network and provides an increased level of privacy minimizing unauthorized access to data. The service offers access speeds that range from 384 Kbps to 4.5 Mbps with manageable and committed data transfer rates per subscriber.

The Subscriber Unit antenna (right) is the approximate size of a Kleenex box. This rugged outdoor unit is mounted to rooftops utilizing various options. A coaxial cable provides both power and connectivity to the Subscriber Unit antenna from the in-building terminal equipment. The terminal equipment connects to the user’s PC, router or Wi-Fi equipment via a standard RJ45 Ethernet connection
