Why Wireless Broadband?

The way we are using our homes, offices and schools has changed.

Internet users want access anywhere at home or in the office, without expensive and unsightly wires.   Learn how to maximize the benefits of broadband with simple, cost effective and flexible wireless solutions.   With wireless, you can share one internet connection between everyone who needs it and still enjoy a broadband speed of connection.  With a wireless LAN, you can work up to 100m (indoors) and up to 500m (outdoors) of the Wireless Access point
