Frequently
Asked Questions
What is WiMax
Broadband?
WiMax Broadband
is a revolutionary wireless broadband service that provides high-speed, cost-efficient
Internet access. It uses low-frequency, licensed microwaves, which allows
businesses to save significant connectivity costs and bypass the “last mileâ€
congestion of hardwire connections. WiMax Broadband offers the most secure
and reliable broadband service at the absolute best value.
How
does the technology work?
It begins
with the Connex USA Internet backbone, which is an ATM OC-12 licensed redundant
ring utilizing point-to-point microwave technology. Our Broadband WiMax Access
(BWA) network connects to this backbone and uses through-the-air technology to deliver
data rates from 1.54 Mbps to 45 Mbps. By using point-to-multipoint technology,
we bypass the congestion of a hardwire connection and supply a fast and secure data
transfer.
What
makes WiMax Broadband different from other wireless broadband services?
Unlike other
providers, our technology uses low-frequency microwaves that are not licensed by
the government, which not only saves your business connectivity costs, but also
provides it with a more reliable and secure method of data transfer. Moreover,
the utilization of these lower frequencies actually allows data to travel farther
and to be resistant to interference.
How
secure is the WiMax Broadband service?
This technology
uses AES encrypted, military-type security, which the National Security Agency (NSA)
has determined to be the most secure and up-to-date block cipher ever. Used
by the United States Government to protect the most classified material, the technology
of WiMax Broadband offers your business’s data the most advanced security.
How
easy is the installation?

Broadband, installation is simple. Our technology is easily installed in your
