What is Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi is Wireless Internet, broadcast on 802.11 band on 2.4 or 5.8 GHz frequency. There are FOUR types of Wi-Fi that you will hear about 802.11 a/b/g/n. What is the difference?

802.11 A is broadcast on a 5.8 GHz and is used primarily for “Wireless Backhaul” – meaning basically a long Ethernet cable connection – except done wirelessly. A is not used for end users to connect to. A is used to have multiple “ISP locations” – in other words if you have a broadband connection (DSL, Cable, Satellite, T1 or greater) and you need to have another ISP connection on your property, but don’t want to pay for TWO ISP connections, you can use 5.8 GHz to create a “Wireless Backhaul” from point A to point B on the property. (No trench digging).

802.11B Is broadcast on 2.4 GHz and is used by the end user to connect with their laptops PDA’s etc to the internet – in other words 2.4 is the frequency 99% of today’s laptops and other wireless devices use. (PCMCI Cards in Laptops are on 2.4 GHz). B will provide you with an 11 Megabit through-put at close range to the “Access Point” (AP) and less through put the further you go away from the “Access Point”.

802.11G Is the same as B, but will give you 54 Megabit through-put at close range and less through put as you go further away from the AP.

802.11 N is the new 802.11 frequency that you see retailers now pushing – this can give you up to 225 Megabit through-put at close range and less through put as you go further away from the AP.

JW Global Wi-Fi provides it’s customers with long range Wireless Internet equipment, specifically manufactured to produce the best long range outdoor and indoor results. Our equipment is not what you find on the shelf at your local electronics store – these off the shelf products are made primarily to provide an “in house” Wi-Fi network, they are not made for outside, nor do they have the power capabilities that our equipment has. Even if you attach higher gain antennas – that would be like putting a garden house over a straw :-) .

All of our equipment can be programmed as either an AP (Access Point), Client Device, Bridge or even Repeater. It is important to note, that your average laptop with it’s built in PCMCI Wireless Card can send a signal in open space anywhere from 400ft to 2000ft. Why is this important? Remember the internet is a two-way street, it’s not just sending a signal out there, the end user equipment must be able to go back to the AP – the good news here, is that you can plug our equipment into either a Laptop, Desktop or even a Wireless router programmed as a Client Device and have the capability to pick up a Wi-Fi signal 10-20 miles away from one of our AP’s. See drawing below:

JW Global Wi-Fi has to offer unlimited technical support to all it’s customers with no additional monthly fee. We pride ourselves in our customer care and our goal is to provide the very best equipment, offering a complete Wireless solution. We work with you to recommend the equipment you will need for your Wireless project , please feel free to send us your project requirements with the number of end users, distances, vegetation, terrain and buildings; from where your ISP is on the property to where you need Wi-Fi coverage complete with distances in feet.
