Wire Blast

Remember the ease of ducking into wireless hot spots to check your e-mail, bank account, or news?  While finding wireless zones is easier than ever, more and more restaurants and cafes are making you pay for the wireless you use.  By the end of the month, you’ve shelled out almost $100 in wireless hot spot fees.  However, you’d rather have the convenience of logging on from anywhere in the city versus not paying for the service.  Fortunately, CLEAR 4G wireless provides a consistent web connection all over the city for $40 a month.

With this service, you’ll be able to complete online training programs for work at your local coffeehouse and video chat your parents living in Minneapolis.  You won’t be restricted to an Internet cable hook-up and you’ll never have to pay at wireless hot spots again.  The entire city will be a virtual playground where you’ll experience fewer dead zones and weak signal areas.  Furthermore, you can experience mobile broadband speeds that are just as fast as what you have in your home.

Let’s take a minute to ponder all the ways that wireless technology can be helpful. Let’s start with the most basic form of wireless that most of us make use of: a cordless telephone. Yeah it’s wireless, but it’s not really anything that special anymore, right? They’ve been around for ages and are limited to sending what you say through the air to the receiver in the next room. Technology should be able to produce something more powerful than that by now.

Wireless routers raised the ante for a while because they allowed you to share your internet connection with all nearby supported devices, including computers with wireless network adapters. Because of all the things the internet can do, this was a pretty big advance for its time. But once again, these have also been around for a while and are also limited to sending information to the next room. (more…)

Wireless hotspots have long been advertised as being the most convenient form of internet access for modern, professional men and women.  After all, they supposedly offer the promise of mobility and cut out all that hassle of having to deal with cables—what could be more convenient, right?  In reality, traditional hotspots are not quite what they’ve been made out to be and wireless internet users have got far better options on the table to consider…such as a hotspot that goes where they go!

Using hotspots that are scattered throughout your city as some sort of patchwork, piecemeal mobile communications solution is just not practicable in the least.  First of all, your mobile device may not be compatible with the various kinds of mobile standards being used by different wireless networks which will prevent you from even connecting; then, the speeds available on many such wireless networks may often be truly dismal, not even breaking the barrier between Kbps and Mbps.  Between frequent interruptions in the service and slow downloads/uploads, it’s not difficult to see why this panorama isn’t very convincing.

Part of the joy of actually having a computer that can connect to wireless internet is knowing where the best networks happen to be in your town. Sure, there are those typical locations–various chain stores like Starbucks, maybe your office or the local library. But for people with computers, there is something a whole lot more enjoyable in not sharing a space with dozens of other users clicking away on their laptops. Because wireless internet networks that are small often see a serious drain in signal once more than a couple of users are online, you definitely are always on the lookout for a location with a free Wi-Fi network, but without the ten or 20 people who have their computers and look like they aren’t going to be going anywhere for awhile.

There have been a lot of problems over the years getting reliable wireless internet connections.  The issues on the road have been well-documented, but there continues to be inferior wireless connections set up in homes.

What every wireless internet customer is looking for is basically what you get out of a WiFi hotspot: high speed service without interruption, all over the room or area covered.  Obviously, this signal strength is provided by a modem which is established in a certain location.

Is any provider offering these modems for customers to take with them on the road?  The best wireless home connections have worked in the same way as the hotspots set up in cafes and other public places, but tossing a modem into your bag and talking it to the road is the ideal scenario for a wireless user.  CLEAR 4G wireless internet has come out with a version of this modem that has recently gotten a lot of attention in the field.
