Speed and Convenience
In response to an increased user base our WiFi system, Cat Mountain WiFi, now has a shared download capacity of 6.0 Mbps. Typical speeds are over 50 times that of dial up, and it doesn’t use a phone line. You can use the Internet and make phone calls at the same time. We still have capacity for more users. For those of you new to WiFi, you may find more information at www.tucsonestates.net.
Cost
To receive the WiFi signal, you will probably need an external WiFi antenna. The fee for an external WiFi antenna and all equipment to connect it to your computer depends upon the type of installation required. The installation is by Triad Wireless with payment directly to Triad.
A standard install with a 5’ mast and 4” wall brackets is $179.95 plus applicable taxes.
An extended install with a 10’ mast and 6 or 12” wall brackets is $199.95 plus applicable taxes.
An inner wall or underground install is $289.95 plus applicable taxes. Note if you do the under house work run a pull line from the inside location to the outside wall before Triad arrives, the standard or extended install price will apply (call Computer Club member for more information.)..
