Xecunet has provided wireless service since 1999. Wi-Fi 802.11 (Wi-Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity) offers high-speed connections up to 11 megabytes per second — without wires. It works the same way a cordless phone does, transmitting a signal from a base station to a receiving device, and is available without a license from the FCC. Wi-FI signals operate in the 2.4 and 5Ghz radio bands and are designed to transmit data at broadband speeds. The speed of the connection you receive is governed by several factors including the number of users accessing a single point, the distance the device is from the access point, any obstructions that might block the signal and the speed of the line that connects to the access point. Wi-Fi signals do not transmit as well through metal or concrete buildings, but work reasonably well through many other types of walls and glass.
Xecunet wireless service saves you the cost of monthly telephone line charges. You pay only for the equipment and Internet service. A wireless connection gives you the ultimate in flexibility and convenience. Many notebook computers and handheld PDA devices now come equipped with built-in Wi-Fi antennas and software. Because data is transmitted over radio bands, it's best to use a wireless connection for basic Internet use only and avoid transmitting high-security information with this technology or use encryption software to create a Virtual Private Network.
Wi-Fi is available in select areas.
