[NBLUG/talk] Wireless ?

[Christopher Wagner]

Is your concern specifically the cellular *phone* itself?  If so, you can
get cellular modems that do not require a cell *phone* to connect.  They are
data only and aren't too exorbitantly priced.

Otherwise, I think Ricochet got bought by someone who's putting up towers
and stuff, but they're not outside the SF Metro area I think..  The other
option would be to do some kind of satellite data service, but that gets
ridiculously difficult to set-up and quite expensive, and most difficult to
move from place to place.

Really I think your best option is a cellular modem.  It's basically a
PCMCIA card that will connect to the cellular network.  AT&T and Verizon
have the best coverage areas, I think AT&T is a little more cellular modem
friendly, from what I hear.

Hopefully this helps.

Anyone have a good suggestion regarding some type of wireless access without
using a cell phone? I need my sales people to be able to connect to the
Internet pretty much wherever they are at.
