General
Broadband Internet Access essentially provides vastly increased
efficiencies in all aspects of Internet usage resulting in, for
example increased productivity in daily routines, Online Banking,
sending and receiving emails, or just simply accessing information
on the Web.
When using Linknet Wireless Broadband these tasks can be completed
in a fraction of the time it would take using a normal dial-up
connection.
Linknet Wireless Broadband is a high quality low latency terrestrial
Broadband Connection essential for emerging interactive applications
such as VOIP Telephone services and on-line gaming. These services
are provided by our wholly owned and operated Telecommunications
backhaul and Access point infrastructure extending from Lismore
NSW into adjoining areas.
Backhaul Infrastructure.
Our Backhaul infrastructure extending from our upstream provider
at Lismore consists of two High Capacity Redline Microwave Links with
inbuilt fail-over routing redundancy. Because
the backhaul capacity from our upstream provider is owned and
operated by us there is no additional provisioning of network
equipment to introduce larger bandwidth capacity into our Broadband
Network. This allows for immediate provisioning of additional
bandwidth with increasing customer demand ensuring Quality of
Service assurances are met.
Access Point
and Customer Premises Equipment Infrastructure.
Superior Performance
Our Motorola Canopy Wireless Broadband Infrastructure provides
exceptional quality broadband services to distances of 40km with
aggregate throughput on each access point up to 7.5Mb/sec.
Put simply the Motorola equipment delivers superior performance
using a modulation scheme that improves the quality of data delivery
and mitigates interference from other systems. The system’s
wireless signals are highly effective in penetrating obstacles
and avoiding obstructions, making it efficient in rural locations.
Exceptional Security
The platform also offers security with over-the-air DES (Data
Encryption Standard) encryption and is also available with AES
(Advanced Encryption Standard) capabilities, which provide 128-bit
encryption, to ensure secure data delivery and exceptional reliability.
With AES, it would take approximately 149 trillion years—that’s
older than the earth itself—to crack a code.
Incredible Speed
The Canopy platform’s upload and download speeds are as
fast as or faster than virtually every other service available
today. The point-to-multipoint Canopy system offers speeds from
512 Kbps to 14 Mbps (aggregate data rates) and the point-point
backhaul system delivers from 10Mbps to 300 Mbps. Of course, upload
and download speeds are affected by several factors so actual
speeds may vary, but the potential to offer an incredible broadband
experience is inherent in the Canopy system.
Low latency - essential for emerging
applications.
The Motorola Canopy Infrastructure provides a very low latency
connection from the Customers Connection to the Internet.
Latency is the time it takes for Internet data packets to traverse
the Internet via your connection to the host server you are accessing.
Examples of host servers can be in the case of viewing internet
content, a web server, downloading a file, an ftp server and so
on.
Latency will occur mainly two reasons being; the physical distance
between network components or; restrictions or bottlenecks in
network capacity of access servers or bandwidth saturation of
physical links.
In the case of non- terrestrial delivery ie satellite services,
permanent latency in the range of 500ms to 1000ms (1second) is
introduced resulting in transmission delays from the satellite
receiver to the satellite transponder back to the earth receiving
station to the internet are introduced.
Emerging interactive Internet applications essentially require
low latency connections to the Internet to operate efficiently.
To take full advantage of these applications such as making and
receiving telephone calls, gaming etc latencies of less than 50ms
to major internet infrastructure is required.
For this reason we recommend that when considering various options
for the provision of broadband services to your premises that
you consider this and choose the option of a Satellite Broadband
service as an absolute last resort.
If in doubt we recommend you seek impartial advise from DCITA
as to the best technology alternatives available in your area.

Access Points
- For a connection to Linknet Wireless Broadband, your premises needs to be, either within line of sight and less than
25km from of one of our Access Points or, subject to signal field
strength measurements at your premises, not within Line of Sight
and less than 2km from one of our 900Mhz Access Points.
- The number of access points is being expanded constantly. Check
back here for updates to access point locations.
Wireless broadband is currently
available within a radius (dependent upon direct Line of Sight)
of up to 25km from Goonellabah and Coorabell and 18km from our Mullumbimby,
Ocean Shores, Montecollum, & Byron Bay, Access Points.
The map below shows the current access points and their aproximate
range. Please note that coverage will be affected by terrain and
trees and is indicative only.
