How It Works... How You Benefit...

Ptera's Internet service offers wireless point-to-multipoint service at a connectivity speed of 128 kbps up to as much as 1.2 Mbps. For those users demanding increased bandwidth above 1Mbps, we can customize the user's requirements and connectivity with a point-to-point shot from the community POP (Point of Presence).

Ptera provides the Internet service from a community POP where high bandwidth fiber optic lines run to major regional backbones. At your location, a subscriber unit is installed and wired to a router in your house or your building. Users within communicate with the router through a Network Interface Card or "NIC card" or wireless interface. The subscriber unit communicates to the POP through its antenna.

Without physical barriers between your building and the community POP, Ptera's standards-based system eliminates interference issues. The WEP encryption restricts access to only those authorized to protect your data. The wireless LAN allows many types of devices access from multiple remote locations.
Ptera's Wireless Internet Service provides a multitude of benefits, including:
  • Backup Capabilities - Stay up when you're down. If you lose your primary connectivity, you won't lose your productivity.
  • Faster Speeds - Hold on for the ride. Our speeds are likely faster than what you have today-and eliminate that unproductive "wait time."
  • Remote Access - Now that's a short commute. Offer nearby employees the same rocket speed as the office.
  • Expanded Capabilities - Not a dream, just a stream. Faster content is better content. Plus you gain added capabilities that take advantage of great bandwidth.
  • Fulfillment Guaranteed - 50% of the line speed will be guaranteed to each user. (50% CIR-committed information rate)
  • Online Uptime - 99.99 % of uptime is anticipated for each user, thanks to our server redundancy.
  • Local communications - communicating between local groups is unrestricted.
