Why
use Wireless Link instead of regular dial-up connections?
Wireless
Link enables business travelers to use their laptops
to read and send e-mails, browse the web or access
securely their company networks and resources
at similar speeds as in normal office networks.
Wireless Link users can move freely around the
office, hotel, conference centre or any other
location covered by the service and stay constantly
connected. They can even roam between Wireless
Link Powered locations across the globe without
ever having to worry about the network cables
or changing the network configuration on their
laptops.
There
are no minute-based connection fees and the connection
is on all the time, so there is no need to pay
for expensive mobile or long distance calls.

What
is the difference between standards of 802.11b and
802.11a? There
are many broadband wireless technologies in use
today. The most popular are 802.11b and 802.11a.
Wireless Link supports 802.11b currently, and
will continue to incorporate 802.11a technologies
as it becomes widely available.
802.11b
(Wi-Fi) and 802.11a (WiFi5) products are not compatible
with each other. The main differences are that
802.11b operates in the 2.4Ghz frequency range
and has a maximum speed of 11 Mbps. 802.11a operates
in the 5Ghz range and has a maximum speed of 54
Mbps. However the speed degrades quickly over
distance with 802.11a. The vast majority of products
currently in operation use the 802.11b standard.
