ABOUT US Michiana Wireless is privately held wireless Internet service provide or WISP for short. We provide high speed Internet access to individuals and companies. We have been in the online service provider business since 1993 and have now been providing wireless broadband services to the Michiana area since 2002. Technology - We utilize state of the art Microwave technology to deliver our high-speed data services. The technology is very reliable and is able to provide the equivalent if not superior performance and reliability to traditional wired solutions. We have the scalability and flexibility that does not exist with our wired competitors. As well as you will never come to work and find your T1 line is down because a crazy backhoe driver has severed the neighborhoods line trunk. Our complete backbone is 100% wireless all the way back to our NOC (Network Operations Center), which hooks, into a redundant fiber ring.
You’re Telco? When you receive services from a Telco, typically a T1 or some other land line service you have a local loop fee. This fee is basically a charge for the ‘wire’ to carry your data on. You are then charged for the data that runs over the wire. They add these two items together to get your bill, which as you know is usually not cheap. We on the other hand being completely wireless, we eliminate the need for the local loop and its fee. This allows us to offer you more for your dollar. DSL & Cable? While DSL and Cable services usually offer you fast cheap service, cheap is usually what you are getting. DSL & Cable services are asymmetrical services which means you get fast downloads but your uploads are general no faster than 256K. Sending email with or without attachments, using VPN services, VOIP, Telecourses, gaming, video conferencing, etc... Are all examples of when you are using outgoing bandwidth that is NOT so fast with cable or DSL. Most all our wireless services are symmetrical, this means not only are your downloads fast but your just as fast when utilizing applications using outgoing bandwidth. Being able to send data fast is typically more important to a business than getting data fast. It is also becoming more common for people to use the cell phone more and more and would like to get rid of the land line. With wireless you can! We do not use a telephone line to deliver your service. Satellite Internet? The cost of satellite equipment and installation is higher than wireless. Due to the long haul of the satellite link transmission delay or latency will be high. High latency makes a satellite link virtually unusable for anything other than low volume email or simple web surfing. Uploads on satellite links typically don’t get any faster than 80k. VPN sessions do not function well at all over satellite. Either way if you are using a DSL or Cable for your business you are using a residential type service for commercial purposes. The residential SLA (Service Level Agreement) for most cable and Telco providers has clauses that could make you wait up to a week for repair services. Our commercial services are true commercial services and are treated as such with top priority to resolve any issue with connectivity immediately. Network Monitoring - We monitor our entire network backbone as well as each individual customer’s connection to our infrastructure 24 hours a day 365 days a year. This allows us to keep things up and operational and to proactively attack any potential problems before or as they may happen. Competitive Pricing - Almost all of our speeds are
as we mentioned symmetrical (Uploads and Downloads are the same). Even
our limited Asymmetrical packages has upload speeds almost 3 times faster
than cable and DSL. Our pricing is bottom line monthly
pricing, no local loop fees, no other hidden fees or franchise taxes,
etc… |
