Our Wireless Networking
Wireless network usage has been exploding in the cities of the world for many years. We have tested this technology and found that in the Himalayan mountains it works even better than it does in city locations. The equipment required to connect is low cost and reliable.
The wireless technology we use is the most popular in the world. It is called 802.11b/g wireless access. The latest computers have 802.11b/g wireless capability and can be configured to connect to our Wireless LAN.
If your Desktop PC or Laptop does not have 802.11b/g already built in then you need to upgrade your unit to add wireless capability.
