Information - FAQ
Today, most Internet users have heard all about the benefits of broadband access such as DSL or Cable Modem connections. But how many Internet users have ever heard about Fixed-Wireless access as an alternative?
Although fixed-wireless access is starting to appear in more locations across the U.S. with great success, it's not getting as much of the media limelight as other broadband services.
TA Highspeed Wireless can reach users as far away as 10 miles from our access points! More access points will be announced soon. Here are the answers to some of the more common questions, if your question isn't covered here or you just want to call us for more information we can be reached at: (417)

Do I need a phone line to do uploads like satellite systems?
No. TA Highspeed Wireless uses bi-directional antennas that can send and receive without any phone lines.
What about security?
Communications between your location and our access point locations are encrypted using DES "Data Encryption Standard" The same security used by federal agencies in their wireless networks. This is not an 802.11 WI-FI network.
Does this use a satellite receiver?
TA Highspeed Wireless service is not to be confused with satellite access, like DiRECWAY www.direcway.com or lumped in with cellular phone services which are slow and require handheld devices.
TA Highspeed Wireless Internet access does not suffer from the latency or weather fade that plagues satellite based Internet delivery.
TA Highspeed Wireless Internet service is not effected by rain, fog or snow.
Fixed wireless does not require satellite systems, a cable connection, or even local phone service. By eliminating many of the expenses associated with other high-speed services, we are able to pass much of the savings on to our customers to provide an affordable yet high performance service for business and demanding residential users.
TA Highspeed Wireless uses a small microwave antenna that is attached to a radio at the customer premises. The Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) is pointed back to one of our access points. Even during rain or snow, your
TA Highspeed Wireless connection will be strong, reliable, and out of reach of falling limbs, outages, and other effects prone to wired networks.
Why Wireless?
In two words, No Wire! By removing the cabling and connections of a complex phone or cable network,
TA Highspeed Wireless offers extreme reliability as an end-to-end service without another company in the middle. This results in better performance.
How fast is installation?
Orders are often completed within days, not weeks or months as can happen with other services. With the area's most knowledgeable staff,
TA Highspeed Wireless service boasts 100% customer satisfaction. Call: (417)
