What you will need.
Assuming you are in our Coverage Area, you will
need a wireless Customer Premises Equipment (We sell
our long range equipment, PLUG and Play starting at
250$ for a single computer USB antenna or 350$
for a EtherNet CAT5 Version for Routers) - For the
Very Long Distance or Stuborn Spots (Red Signal Spots),
we have a EtherANT LR antenna that is Amplified and
Will turn a red signal into a green. The cost of an
EtherANT LR is 500$. We also Rent Equipment for our
customers who cannot afford a one time buy. We will
work for you to get your broadband!
How it works.
Wireless Internet is available by the use of Microwave
technology in the 2.4 Gighz range (Available in other
ranges also). We use a Radio Server that connects
to a amplified radio antenna, and broadcast a signal
over the air with standard internet protocols. We
then need a customer side antenna to take this signal
and pick it up and then send it to your computer.
We can do this many ways, but the simplest ways are
to use the CPE equipment provided by our vendors.
Wireless will never require you to have a phoneline
as it does not operate off of one, unlike DSL which
still requires you to have a telephone for access.

Wireless Frequently Asked Questions
Q)
What is Wireless Broadband Internet?
A)
Wireless Broadband Internet is an exciting new way
to get to the internet. It delivers a super fast “always
on” connection to the internet by broadcasting radio
signals from our network antenna towers to an antenna
installed at your home or business. There is no need
to order a second line from the phone company and
the service can be installed right away.
Q)
Why should I choose Ascendance Wireless?
A)
We can deliver true digital broadband internet access
using proven microwave technology. We can instantly
deliver faster internet access to companies and individuals
who want more speed. Many installs can occur the same
day, eliminating the typical lengthy installation
wait time of DSL. Additionally, if you move you can
take the antenna with you and be up and running quickly,
as long as you reside within our network.
With
Ascendance.net Wireless there are many reasons we
should be your ISP, and that is because our #1 Concerns
are our Customers and their happiness. With our companies
focus to maintain a 99.9 percent uptime on all services,
not cutting corners, and always having customer support
available via live telephone, we have been able to
keep our costs down as well as the customers while
maintaining a great service uptime due to Great Equipment
and our Relationships with our Tier1 Backbone Providers.
Ascendance.net
is not a reseller. We own all our equipment
for our services, which is one other great reason
to choose us over other ISP’s. We are your #1 Stop
Internet Shop. Look for us to expand in your location
soon! Hey! If you need broadband, call us up! We are
more than happy to discuss options of expanding our
wireless to your area!
Q)
How fast is Wireless Internet?
A)
Wireless Internet is available in many speeds to accommodate
your specific needs. Starting at 128KBPS, you can
increase the speed up to 11MBPS. That is almost 100
times faster than many DSL circuits!
Q)
What is the price?
A)
Ascendance offers High Speed Internet Access for less
than many phone companies and competing DSL providers.
We can provide you with a High Speed Always On Internet
Connection starting as low as $29.95* a month. An
antenna is required to receive the signal. You may
purchase the equipment from us or rent the equipment
for a low monthly fee. For multiple tenants within
the same building, a single antenna can be installed
to provide service to the entire building. In some
cases, Ascendance may provide the antenna at no charge,
if enough tenants use our services.
Q)
Why should I switch from DSL and how easy is
it?
A)
Many DSL customers tell us they receive slow upload
and download speeds or even sometimes unable to get
on the Internet. This is usually the result of the
DSL providers “oversubscribing” or having too many
customers sharing their network. This is something
we don’t do. You will always enjoy a fast, accurate
and solid connection to the Internet. For existing
DSL customers, it is easy to switch. Simply let us
know you would like to subscribe to our service. We
will schedule an installer to come to your home or
office to install the antenna or you may elect to
install the antenna yourself. Either way, once the
antenna is installed you can begin using the service
right away.

and installed the same day. Give us a call to learn
more about this great new way to access the Internet
and get up and running right away.
