Is wireless reliable?


Yes. Our wireless network has been designed to provide reliable wireless data connections to the areas we service. By design, weather conditions do NOT affect our wireless data network. Reliability wise, our network does not behave like wireless cable, satellite, or wireless telephones. It is much more reliable. The technology we are using has been used by the military for over 40 years, so it is a tried, perfected and proven technology - not a fad or bleeding edge technology.

What equipment will I need?


No equipment purchase is required by you, Morewave supplies and installs all necessary equipment. One time install fee apply

If you are in a building not currently equipped with Morewave’s wireless service...

In order to provide the reliability that we guarantee, we have to provide a line-of-sight path for communications between you and one of our cell sites. Depending on your location and surrounding environment, the antenna may be able to be mounted in such a way as to make it unnoticeable from the ground. We also have several low-profile antenna options to help make an installation as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

Our Installation is a very simple straightforward process. It will take on average anywhere from one to two days, all depending on the building layout. First one of our engineers will visit your site doing a survey. On the first day the actual installation will begin an antenna will be placed on your rooftop, the antenna size can range anywhere from 14”x11.5” up to 34”x28”. If your company does not currently own the building or has previous roof rights, prior permission from the property management might be required. A RJ-8 coaxial cable will connect the antenna and the wireless radio placed in your designated server room or the main electrical room, and then a CAT5 cable with a RJ-45 connector will be run to your Local Area Network Server/Firewall.

A suitable Internet security firewall router is highly recommended for all customers on Morewave’s Network. Morewave can provide firewall service at an additional cost.

Also the very same equipment we use for providing high-speed Internet access can also be used for bridging two remote Local Area Networks (i.e. new office expansion across the street, or even a few blocks away), thus saving Telco costs.
Point–To–Point Private wireless connection

If you are in a multi-tenant building that we currently service...

From our router located in the main electrical room, a CAT5 cable with a RJ-45 connector will be run to your Local Area Network Server/Firewall.

Sounds expensive...is it worth it?


This service is designed to bring wireless off fiber high-speed, always-on Internet access to organizations for a lower price than Telco circuits (i.e. T1 and fiber connections). If you are using a resource on the Internet for work, then it will probably be worth the additional cost over dialup modems, DSL, ADSL, or Cable. This is more true if you are paying for multiple phone lines so that multiple people can have Internet access in your office.

What about lightning?


Lighting is a phenomenon that is very unpredictable. All wireless installation are well grounded to prevent static charge build-up which can lead to actual lightning strikes. In addition, a lightning arrestor is placed on the antenna cable between the antenna and Morewave equipment to prevent any static discharge from affecting your equipment. A well-installed antenna system will not be a target for lightning.

How fast is it really?


Your dialup modem connections connect at a maximum of 53 thousand bits per second. In addition, analog dialup connections are VERY inefficient and often have to resend data because of telephone line interference. In testing, we limited one of our wireless nodes to 53kbps and it was over 5 times faster than an analog 56k dialup connection. This is because the wireless is very efficient and does not have the same errors that a dialup line has.

Our wireless radios connect to our cell sites at 11 mbps, 45mbps, and 100 mbps (11,000 kbps, 45,000kbps, and 100,000kbps). The service plan you have from your ISP will determine your basic connection rate. All connections are "burstable". What this means is that if your plan calls for 256k of wireless service, you will have a minimum of 256k of bandwidth. If you also have our Morewave burst service, you may be able to get speeds of up to 5 mbps!! Burstable bandwidth means that you are not paying for a lot more speed than you need for short periods of time.

Your speed is regulated by our bandwidth manager. This means that at any time you can increase your basic transfer rate by contacting us. Your speed can be increased almost immediately without additional equipment or installation fees, or on-site visits.
