Mercury Z all-encompassing wireless solutions include thorough site survey studies, RF studies (with path profile & terrain analysis), and pre-deployment staging and provisioning, all of which make for a time- and cost-efficient deployment.
For many rural communities broadband access is neither reliable nor fast enough to take advantage of all the resources the Internet affords. As a result, rural businesses and governments are left to deal with outdated modes of conducting operations, less-than-optimal communication, and an economic disadvantage in this era of global business. Without the ability to communicate quickly, rural medical facilities and area officials may be less prepared for emergent situations. In addition, local school districts may not be able to offer students the latest educational services.
By partnering with Mercury Z, service providers can level the economic playing field and enhance rural communication with a fast, secure, and affordable wireless broadband offering.
Wireless broadband by Mercury Z provides the full power of the Internet to underserved rural markets without the lengthy, costly construction that a terrestrial infrastructure would require. Rural wireless infrastructures can be scaled to virtually any size while still meeting all the crucial requirements of a secure wireless network. Finally, Mercury Z takes advantage of a vast best-of-breed product selection and sound industry relationships to produce a rural broadband solution that is both high quality and cost effective. Our product recommendations offer capacities up to 5Gbps and protocol support in Internet Protocol, WiMAX, STM-1, and T1/E1.
With wireless broadband in place, rural areas will have the resources necessary to attract new business, sustain existing businesses, decrease the need to commute, and reduce environmental impact.
- Broadband customers simply plug into a single unit to enjoy the benefits of broadband.
- In some cases, one unit can replace the modem, WiFi, router, and phone line boxes.
- Mercury Z works with local businesses and municipalities to identify usable existing structures—such as water towers, buildings, and cell towers—to cut construction time and cost.
- Without the high costs of terrestrial line, wireless solutions mean a faster payback.
- Wireless technology cuts down on the need for high-emission construction machinery and destruction of the local ecosystem.
How do we do it?
A WiMAX antenna transmits and receives, providing service within the rural area. For better coverage, some areas are even covered by multiple cell sites. The result is a wireless web that makes broadband Internet available and portable within coverage areas.
Ethernet or network cables quickly become a thing of the past. Instead, wherever there’s Mercury Z there‘s a private WiFi hotspot.
