WDSL

Overview

Wireless World brings customers fast Internet via fixed wireless service.

Hybrid Cable ModemWDSL leaps past the last mile stranglehold from the local telephone company with leading edge wireless technology. WDSL high speed Internet service is delivered to users via radio spectrum - utilizing fixed wireless technologies such as MMDS.

VITELCO has had a permanent monopoly on the copper wire running to homes and businesses. Only wireless alternatives will open competition, spark new services and break the monopoly's hold on local customers.

With WDSL, Wireless World is perfectly positioned to deliver broadband to the masses and help close the digital divide between the broadband 'haves' and 'have nots'. Wireless World may be able to reach customers in our local market quicker than the competition and reach more of them in a cost-efficient manner.

WDSL Data TransferThe main advantage of WDSL is its very fast Internet connection. It's up to 50 times faster than a standard dial-up modem, serving up web pages as fast as a user can type an address or click a link. Because the connection is always on, users don't have to dial into a modem pool. They also don’t have to share their telephone lines with their computers or pay for a second phone line. WDSL is targeted at small enterprises, small office/home offices, telecommuters, remote site corporate offices or residential customers seeking a high-speed Internet connection.

Instead of phone lines or cable, Wireless World transmits the broadband signals to users via a small digital transceiver mounted to the roof or side of the house. The device is only about 11 inches by 11 inches by 2 inches deep. It's much smaller and less visible than a Direct TV satellite dish. Installation takes only a few hours and the basic monthly charge includes full Internet provider services, such as e-mail and customer service.

Antenna Mounted on RooftopWireless World may be quicker to market than wired broadband providers because fixed wireless, unlike phone lines and cable access, doesn't require digging up city streets to install new cable or replace outdated, legacy copper loops. Building a high-speed, fixed wireless network consists of simply installing a transmission tower and deploying wireless modems at the customer's premises. Wireless transmitters can be mounted on towers or on existing tall structures.

Each transmitter reaches customers in a 35-mile radius, so every home and business with a line of sight to the transmitter should be able to get broadband access. By circumventing the local TELCO's infrastructure, Wireless World can offer broadband in areas that can't get high-speed service through phone lines or cable wire line connections. If a customer can't see one cell site, there will be a good chance he will be able to see an alternate cell tower.
