WHAT DOES "NON-LINE-OF-SIGHT"
MEAN?
It means that two locations may be able to
communicate reliably even if they "can’t see each
other". With previously available technology two
stations might not be able to communicate even though
they were physically close together if there were trees
in between them. This is because those technologies used
"microwave" radio frequencies that are
absorbed by foliage. New technology is now available
that uses frequencies that are less absorbed – and we
have that technology available in the western reaches of
Lake Bob Sandlin (within a few miles of the 21 bridge).
Other areas will be added soon – please "stay
tuned".
In the areas that have this technology it is much
simpler to connect subscribers – many times with no
outdoor antenna, or at least with very simple,
unobtrusive, antennas mounted on the house (usually
without tall poles). Thus this technology is
"aesthetic friendly"
What all of this means is that broadband wireless
Internet under this technology is feasible in
circumstances where it has never been – perhaps your
house. Cancel that slow dial-up connection with it’s
frequent busy signals and drop-offs, eliminate that
extra phone line, and begin enjoying the Internet
experience.
