The rural
job site is not service by conventional high-speed internet
services such as DSL or Cable, but is covered by
Texas Broadband
Internet, one of Central Texas largest Wireless ISPs.
Defacto
Wireless Distribution installed an AirMatrix Home CPE and an
AirMatrix Mesh radio at the job site. This network was then
linked to a Texas Broadband tower approximately 10 miles away.
The
airhome-ext CPE was used to connect to Texas Broadband’s
network while the
AirMatrix Mesh node served as the Access Point
for the job site. Defacto Wireless Distribution also supplied a
Packet8 Voice over Internet Phone.
The
AirMatrix Mesh network provided approximately 18 acres of laptop
coverage, with speeds up to 1.5 Mbps. Throughout the filming of
the series, the mesh network passed over 1.5 gb of traffic to
include VoIP (Voice over Internet), Fax data, Internet and Print
Server traffic.
AirMatrix Mesh radios supplied by Defacto Wireless Distribution
are also currently being used to deliver free public WiFi in the
Brenham downtown area. Both Defacto Wireless Distribution LLC
and Texas Broadband are locally based in Brenham, Texas. |
