Minus the wire!
Manchester,
NH-
January 1st, 2009 After
going through a historic ice storm the week of December 15th, 2008
that, at it's peak, had over 430,000 residences and businesses without
power, Spectra Access wireless infrastructure remained 100% intact. A
common question that Spectra Access receives is what effect does
weather have on wireless signals? This storm was an excellent example
of the benefits wireless systems provide over land line connections.
While many last mile copper and fiber connections were down, Spectra
Access continued to provide services to its customers with no
interruption.
Spectra Access’ philosophy of deploying a
completely wireless infrastructure from the customer to our base
stations and then between each base stations was key in maintaining
100% integrity through out the ice storm. “Customers always ask us
about the effects weather has on our wireless signals. As always, we
tell them that the impact of quality on radio frequencies due to
rain/snow is insignificant and has no practical impact on the link
reliability” Ron Dumont CEO of Spectra Access said and went on further
to say “This historical ice storm has proven that our wireless last
mile connectivity solution is not only a viable alternative solution to
land lines but a better solution!
