From omwireless at list.omsoft.com Thu Mar 10 17:52:08 2011 From: omwireless at list.omsoft.com (Announcements for Omsoft Wireless customers) Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 17:52:08 -0800 Subject: [Omwireless] Wireless Services Update Message-ID: <4D798048.4070500@omsoft.com> Hi Omsoft Wireless users, We're making steady progress bringing faster bandwidth services to your neighborhoods. Our new tower connection, has had some electrical issues which have occupied our attention over the last month. That is finally getting ironed out and we are getting 50 Mbps to that tower, which we are trying to deliver to you! In order to fully utilize the faster speeds we need to reduce our Customer to AP ratio, and make sure clients have the faster, newer generation 802.11g or n radio hardware. About 25% of our customers are using the 802.11b radio standard, and those radios need to be replaced to get everyone on the faster standard. We will send particular details to those customers carrying the older radios for upgrade options. We are also breaking the network down into smaller cells, for fewer clients per AP, that will provide more performance for the clients on those cells, and make it easier to get all newer radios on the cell. We have already deployed one of these smaller cells onto the tower, but have been delayed by our current electrical work. We will continue these operations throughout the spring to bring the faster service to all clients. Thanks for using our network, as always, we appreciate your business. -- Rob Nickerson CEO Om Networks UCD Class of 96 C: 530-848-3865
