M2K Wireless providing Wireless Broadband Internet connectivity
with Simplicity, Security, Reliability and great Support
are at the core of M2K Wireless success. This robust network
is made for speed with a Leased Line connection at every
location. Our network now supports the IEEE 802.1x security
standard with WiFi Protected Access (WPA). This provides
robust encryption of data transfer over the air between
devices connected via WPA.
The benefits of a service that works to ensure a smooth
connection to your world and seamless integration with your
existing Internet tools. What you won't see is a change
in the speed or service when you use it in different locations.

Cost
Wireless gear costs somewhat more than the equivalent wired
Ethernet products. At full retail prices, wireless adapters
and access points may cost three or four times as much as
Ethernet cable adapters and hubs/switches, respectively.
802.11b products have dropped in price considerably with
the release of 802.11g, and obviously, bargain sales can
be found if shoppers are persistent.
Reliability
Wireless LANs suffer a few more reliability problems than
wired LANs, though perhaps not enough to be a significant
concern. 802.11b and 802.11g wireless signals are subject
to interference from other home appliances including microwave
ovens, cordless telephones. With careful installation, the
likelihood of interference can be minimized. Get the same
high quality service in every location, giving you the peace
of mind that no matter where you go, you'll experience the
world class benefits of M2K.
Performance
Wireless LANs using 802.11b support a maximum theoretical
bandwidth of 11 Mbps, roughly the same as that of old, traditional
Ethernet. 802.11a and 802.11g WLANs support 54 Mbps, that
is approximately one-half the bandwidth of Fast Ethernet.
Furthermore, Wi-Fi performance is distance sensitive, meaning
that maximum performance will degrade on computers farther
away from the access point or other communication endpoint.
As more wireless devices utilize the WLAN more heavily,
performance degrades even further. With our custom network
design will give you the advancetage to earn a full performance
of wireless technology than ever.
Security
In theory, wireless LANs are less secure than wired LANs,
because wireless communication signals travel through the
air and can easily be intercepted. To prove their point,
some engineers have promoted the practice of war driving
that involves traveling through a residential area with
Wi-Fi equipment scanning the airwaves for unprotected WLANs.
On balance, though, the weaknesses of wireless security
are more theoretical than practical. WLANs protect their
data through the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption
standard that makes wireless communications reasonably as
safe as wired ones in homes. With the latest software provided
by M2K, the data between your device and the access point
is encrypted, further reducing the risk that your session
may be observed.
