SPEED INTERNET - Which Access Method
is suited to your property?
- Which Access Method is best for your residents?
- Is there one source for all my properties?
What
ever Access Method is deployed it must at least offer the following features:
- Unlimited Always On, High Speed Internet Access.
- Does not interfere
with telephone capacity or use.
- Feature and price competitive with Pacific
Bell.
- Email Accounts
- Personal Web page
- On-line gaming, shopping and
video on demand services.
- Voice over IP alternatives for local phone bypass.
- 24 hour service turn-on.
ACCESS METHODS
- COAX CABLE (Television Infrastructure)
Install Interconnect Router Termination Devices and Internet connection at Head
End, access to upstream and downstream frequencies allows a data network to be
deployed using the existing coaxial infrastructure from a central location on
the property to the coax wall jacks within each unit. A cable data modem is used
at the subscriber terminal to translate the data for the computer. This configuration
allows 34 Mbps downstream and 10 Mbps upstream within the on-premises network.
Up to 16 devises can be operated behind each cable data modem.
- DSL
(Telephone Infrastructure) From a central location
on the property, a single pair of telephone wire is used from the Main Distribution
Frame (MDF). This segment is terminated and cross-connected to the Intermediate
Distribution Frame of each building at a patch panel, picking up one unused pair
of wire to the wiring closet of each apartment, and to one or multiple jacks within
the unit. Digital Subscriber Line technology is utilized which allows speeds up
to 7 Mbps (down stream) across the on-premise network. A Digital Subscriber line
Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is located on-premise, eliminating the distance and
performance limitations inherent with DSL offered by Local Exchange Carriers.
(DSL and phones share the same line at the same time.)
- WIRELESS
MDF (Telephone Infrastructure) For properties where
hard-wire networking on the Main Distribution Frame is prohibited, wireless devices
are mounted to each building, cross-connecting to the Intermediate Distribution
Frame at the cross-connection point. The technology is 5.8 GHz frequency in a
point-to-multipoint configuration. This configuration supports data transmission
of 25 Mbps for each "cell" utilized on the property and operates within
the U-NII frequency band.
- WIRELESS IDF (No
Wires) For properties where hard-wire networking on
internal wiring is prohibited, wireless devises are mounted to each building,
providing a point-to-multipoint connection to individual wireless clients. The
technology is 2.4 MHz and provides a secure shared 11 to 22 Mbps per building.
Access units or "receivers" are utilized by each subscriber to translate
the signal to an Ethernet protocol. Computers and receivers can be used anywhere
within the unit, including wireless connectivity for laptops, which can roam within
900 feet distance from each wireless sending unit.
