A REVOLUTION IS OCCURRING in the computing and communications industries. The development of wireless devices allow users to send and receive e-mail, browse the Web, obtain information, trade stocks, conduct banking transactions and check travel schedules — much faster than ever before. The future of wireless Internet connections in general is extraordinarily bright. Wireless technology will do for computing what wireless phones did for voice communications.

By 2004, the wireless subscriber base worldwide is expected to reach 1.4 billion users, and approximately 300 million users will be accessing the Internet from some form of wireless appliance. It is likely that many office places, homes, hospitals, universities, and public buildings will offer a wireless environment for users to access the Internet from within their facility using a palmtop or notebook computer. This omnipresent computing environment will clearly impact how we work, how we communicate and how we conduct business. With its unlimited growth potential, wireless technology is considered to be THE FUTURE OF INTERNET!

What is it?
Wireless Internet is exactly what it sounds like, getting your connection to the Internet, without the use of phone lines. Data travels over high frequency radio waves at speeds unobtainable by ISDN or even DSL. This type of connection is up to 50 times faster than an analog modem and up to 12 times faster than a dual-channel ISDN connection. Files download in seconds, as opposed to minutes or even hours, saving valuable employee time. It provides an inexpensive, high-speed alternative to the obsolete telephone network that was invented over 100 years ago, eliminating the hassles of modem dialing, busy signals and frequent disconnects. It enables small to medium sized business to provide low cost, high-speed Internet access to its employees.

Security
Network security is a vital concern in most business applications. The use of wireless LANs introduce some concerns since the net traffic is in a public space. However, the security systems afforded by wireless LANs are formidable and provide levels of security that in many ways exceed the use of wire or fiber optic cable.

The use of spread spectrum frequency hopping provides a relatively secure channel by itself. The sender and receiver must be synchronized to the same hop sequence in order to communicate at all. Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum: this approach is the technology just described. Data packets are spread over short bursts of signal at different frequencies within the wireless bandwidth. This avoids interference and requires the receiver to be synchronized with the transmitter.

Speed
LemooreNet will provide a speed of 384k downstream and above 128k upstream. It is possible, depending on how many users are currently using the service, to burst at speeds up to 1Mb. This service does not allow you to host a server of any kind.

Installation
Unlike other Internet access options, Wireless Internet can be installed within 10-14 business days of your request. Basic installation takes 2 1/2 hours, anything over 2 1/2 hours is $50 per hour. Our technicians will come to your location and perform a site survey. At this time you will be made aware of any potential problems that could arise (e.g., maturing trees). Having a good line-of-site to one of our access points will give you an extremely reliable connection.

Equipment
All necessary equipment, with the exclusion of an Ethernet Networking Card, is provided to you in the monthly service fee. All equipment remains the property of LemooreNet. IT IS THE CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE ACTIONS TO SEE THAT NO DAMAGE CAN HAPPEN TO THE EQUIPMENT. WE RECOMMEND UPS, SURGE SUPPRESSORS AS NEEDED. If equipment is damaged (INCLUDING DAMAGES CAUSED BY POWER FAILURE) or stolen, customer is responsible for an equipment replacement fee of $2,500. Upon termination of service, all equipment will be picked up by LemooreNet. You must have a working Ethernet Networking card installed in your computer prior to service installation.

Transfer of Service
If, for any reason, you have to transfer your service to a location other than the original installation location a $100 take down and $100 put up fee will be charged. This fee is due and payable before transfer of service will be performed.

All wireless accounts are subject to a two year contract. Your account must be current and in good standing for a period of 2 years beginning the date of installation or your account is in default and remaining months are due and payable immediately. It is required that power be supplied to your router and radio at all times. If for any reason you need to disconnect the power you must notify LemooreNet prior to doing so. The first time power is disconnected without notification you will receive a warning. There will be a $20 fee for any occurrence thereafter. This service does not allow you to host a server of any kind.
