What is required for installation of Broadband Internet service?
MachMedia's trained technicians install a small antenna (about the size of a shoe box) at your home or office that leads to one wall outlet/jack terminating inside the building.

Our technicians can generally complete your service installation anywhere from 3-10 business days after you sign up, depending on their work schedule. Installation time usually takes no longer than a couple of hours.

What is wireless broadband and how does it work?
MachMedia utilizes fixed wireless technology which transmits data via wireless radio frequencies between our wireless access point located on a tall structure in the community, and a small antenna attached to a wireless radio installed at your home or office. This technology, which uses no phone lines, provides Internet access that can be up to 138 times faster than conventional dial-up services. The service coverage area is generally several miles around each tower, and service requires line of sight to the tower.

How fast is MachMedia's wireless Broadband Internet service?
Currently, MachMedia offers download (receiving) connection speeds between 1000 kbps (1.0 Mbps) and 12000 kbps (12.0 Mbps). That’s well over 100-times faster than standard dial-up service of 56 kbps and up to 46-times faster than your typical 256 kbps DSL connection! Upload (sending) speed is offered up to 1500 kbps.
