How it Works
 Pixius Communications provides high speed Internet service via a state-of-the-art wireless broadband system, extendSM. Unlike DSL or cable modem we do not depend on the availability of legacy telephone or cable TV infrastructure. Unlike satellite our performance does not suffer from the delay associated with a 23,000-mile path up and down. Pixius wireless is superior to cellular 3G wireless as well. With 3G cellular you may receive download speeds of 400-700 Kbps and upload speeds of 60-80 Kbps. Actual speed and coverage may vary and in rural areas speeds are often significantly lower than what is advertised.
A small radio mounted at the customer's location connects directly to one of our base stations located within 10 miles. The base stations are in turn connected to a high speed DS3 connection to the Internet. The air-link between the customer and the base station is a proprietary system that uses authentication and encryption to protect against rogue users and attackers.
 The customer antenna connects to a broadband router via a standard CAT 5 ethernet cable. A surge suppressor and grounding is included to protect the customer's equipment from lightning or static discharges. An AC adapter powers the antenna over the CAT 5 cable.
 The router is an administrative demarcation point that allows customers to build their home network independently. Pixius Communications believes that home networking is an area of tremendous innovation that we wish to enhance. Customers do not pay extra for multiple computers.
