The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaking giant, which recently announced a wireless strategy, is also readying a PC card modem, code-named Calexico. The card will contain the first Wi-Fi chips made by Intel and is expected to appear in notebook computers early next year. Proxim's gear is already being used by likes of Mile High Online in Denver and Prairie Inet in West Des Moines, Iowa. The companies send broadband access to homes and business in their hard to reach areas, Zakin said. The Proxim product can achieve long distances because the company boosted the power inside its access points--the radios that create the network. It also added additional antennas to the access points so signals could be beamed directly to a home, rather than creating a cloud of access.

Proxim's product, priced from about $2,000 to $6,000, will include all the equipment necessary to become a small-scale network provider, The price differs depending on the quality of equipment and add-ons that a buyer may want, Each kit can serve about 250 customers, By pushing Wi-Fi networks for outdoor use, Proxim and others are apple - iphone xs max leather case - cape cod blue joining a new and growing market, A cellular technology called w-CDMA (wideband code division multiple access) sends broadband access to rural areas, including the entire island of Maui in the Hawaiian archipelago..

Usually, w-CDMA signals travel all over, bouncing off trees or buildings. The signals themselves can get so misdirected they actually interfere with each other as they find their way to a handset or cellular base station's antenna, said Jon Hambidge, senior director of marketing for IPWireless, one of the companies that uses the technology. But IPWireless recombines the signals to decrease the usual number of dropped calls or suddenly ended Web sessions, which result from the misdirected signals, Hambidge said.

Another outdoor wireless technology vying for the rural market of Wi-Fi wireless service is MMDS (Multipoint Microwave Distribution System), Sprint PCS is using the apple - iphone xs max leather case - cape cod blue technology to deliver broadband access to homes in the Houston area on a trial basis, Unlike Wi-Fi, MMDS uses licensed spectrum; the two technologies also use different types of modems from one another, The Sprint PCS trial is generating some interest in the technology among other Internet service providers, There is also proprietary equipment for the market, Wireless ISP Aerie Networks of Denver uses equipment to run a high-speed wireless Web network in some areas of the country, Its patented equipment consists of radio receivers mounted to utility poles that shower an area with Internet access..

"Cox and Comcast received the right at a future date (ultimately worth billions of dollars) to sell some or all of their At Home stock to AT&T, as well as an exit strategy from the contractual ties to At Home," the suit alleges.
