High Speed Wireless Internet

For the first time, high-speed wireless internet is now possible without a wireless receiver. Until now, the term “wireless internet” was a bit of an oxymoron, because even a wireless connection required a hardwired wireless receiver to broadcast. With innovations in data transfer band technology, a high-speed signal can be sent from the same digital cells that broadcast cell phone signals.

It wasn’t always this way. This is a revolution in terms of wireless connectivity, because it makes the argument for doing away with one’s existing broadband internet service. Why go through the process of configuring your DSL or cable line (two broadband services that require separate modems) when you can simply receive an internet signal through the air?

There are several different types of high speed wireless internet. The first is the oldest: GSM/GPRS. This is a type of data transfer utilized by T-Mobile that can send data to your PDA phone or smartphone at about 56 Kbps. This kind of speed is plenty for people who use their PDA phones to send and receive email. However, if you want to upgrade to wireless multimedia, you’ll have to subscribe to a service provider that uses another WiFi band.

CMDA, UTMS, EDGE and EVDO are three of the faster high-speed wireless internet bands around today. Speeds range anywhere from 75 to 700 Kbps, depending on the type of band and proximity to the cell. Which is generally regarded as the fastest and is used by Verizon, is faster than many DSL lines and even cable lines, especially when they are heavily used.
