How does ClearTown Wireless Broadband work?
The network is a point-to-point network made up of a fibre or satellite backbone and ClearTown Wireless Client Premises Equipment transmitting over both short and long distances.
Which are the operating system requirements for ClearWireless?
You will require a network card. The operating systems our ClearWireless service supports include Mac OSX, Windows XP, Linux. For other operating systems, you will be required to purchase a Surecom router ($99 inc GST).
Is the Service affected by adverse weather conditions such as heavy rains or fog?
No. And to illustrate the point, the same technology is operating successfully in Colorado, USA where temperatures range from +40C to -30C with 10cm of snow. Weather is a problem for other wireless technologies operating in higher spectrum ranges (above 10Ghz).
Does ClearWireless use my telephone line?
No, ClearWireless does not use your phone line. Your telephone will be free to make and receive calls while you're surfing the net. Remember ClearWireless is a permanent connection, it means no call costs or line rental.
Is there a risk of the antenna being struck by lightning?
The antenna has as much chance of being hit in a lightning strike as a television antenna. If you are concerned, for an additional fee, a lightning arrestor can be fitted.
What sort of Encryption is used and what other security measures do you employ?
The equipment ClearWireless uses makes use of multiple layers of security including proprietary protocol, DES, and MAC address filtering and BRAID.
