Setting the Stage for Total Wireless Access
Cat.: Wireless Innovations25. May 2010
If you ask wireless internet users what they are looking for most, you’ll probably find one answer continuing to pop up: great service in all places from one provider. It sounds simple, but it has been by no means easy to get such service from an internet provider.
What would it take for total wireless access to happen? First of all, there would have to be the network which can get it all done, especially on the mobile front. Wired networks obviously can’t, since there are going to be places which are almost out of bounds where people will need to use the internet on the road. The latest wireless networks cannot cover entire states yet, but they can cover entire metropolitan areas with high speed internet.
Of course, that would cover access on the road, but it would have to get up to the speed that home users can access all the time. Slow mobile networks are not appealing at all. The network that can get 5 MB speeds on the road is something to get excited about for wireless users.
The flip side to getting top speed in wireless internet on the road means you could get access to the same network at home. At this point, things could really become simplified. You’ll have the high speed access on the road; you’ll have high speed internet at home as strong as anything you’ve had with wired connections; and you’ll have it from the same company.
Last but not least, you will need to have the price somewhere in the range of reasonability. Everyone knows that high speed internet is possible in a variety of ways on the road, but the affordability factor has always been a major issue with tech developments. Getting the best of both worlds at an affordable price is total wireless access to get excited about.
