WiMax Solutions

OpenAccess' WiMax is the solution when fiber-optic service is unavailable! WiMax is also the perfect compliment for commercial properties, and Multi Tenant buildings using fiber. For example, if your property isn't provisioned with fully redundant fiber-optic cabling, WiMax can be used as a redundant system. Even a wayward backhoe hitting your fiber-optic circuit won't take out your telecommunications capabilities with WiMax!

OpenAccess' experience working with 802.16d microwave technologies, the pre-cursor to WiMax, dates to 2003. WiMax is superior to WiFi in terms of reliability, speeds and throughput. A typical WiFi connection experiences 'jitters' and 'latency' as it loads up, but WiMax performs smoothly up to maximum available speeds. This difference in performance means that WiMax is suitable for real time applications such as VOIP.

While WiFi only reaches from 2 to 60 mbps, WiMax operates at speeds of 20 to 480 mbps, bringing it near the performance of fiber-optic service at a much more competitive price. Coverage reaches up to 10 miles.

Like all OpenAccess' Tier One products, our WiMax service includes a service level agreement, fully symmetric bandwidth with static IP addressing and 24x7 priority support.
