What is Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi is short for wireless fidelity. Wireless networks are an ideal, no-hassle, no-wires alternative for networking computers and Internet appliances in your home or business. They install easily, expand quickly and reduce the cost of setting up a wired network.

Where is Jimmy's Wi-Fi Coverage?

Jimmy provides service to customers within 10 miles of downtown Main Street Libertyville. Jimmy has detailed aerial coverage with signal strength and link quality measurements.
10,000 foot level of Wi-Fi coverage area

Why does Jimmy do this?

Jimmy has experienced firsthand the frustrations with slow home dialup computers, costly cable providers, high equipment cost satellite and inconsistent location based DSL Internet service. Our price per bandwidth ratio is the lowest among the other providers because we use Cisco-Linksys Wi-Fi certified equipment to reduce the cost associated with Internet service distribution. The lower cost of distribution means that we can pass on those savings to our customers.

How do I get service?
Jimmy follows a standard process to complete the installation with minimal disruptions. The process can take from 1 to 10 days for deployment. Phone (847) 208-2647 or email Jimmy to setup your free design consultation and site survey.

Wireless Internet Protocol

Wireless Internet Protocols are the suite of wireless protocols after Wireless Application Protocol 2.0 (WAP). It includes XHTML Basic, Nokia's XHTML Mobile Profile, and future developments of WAP by the Open Mobile Alliance.
Wireless Internet Protocols are able to deliver XHTML pages to appropriate wireless devices without the need for HTTP to WAP proxies.
Using Wireless Internet Protocols, web pages can be rendered differently in web browsers and on handhelds without the need for two different versions of the same page.

About Wireless Internet

The wireless Internet is defined by access to the Internet on any wireless or mobile device. The wireless Internet encapsulates a variety of wireless Internet access alternatives including wide-area networks (WANs), wireless local area networks (WLANs), and wireless personal area networks (PANs).

Wide area networks - WANs
Wide-area networks (WANs) are essentially the cellular networks maintained by major carriers, including in the U.S. Verizon Wireless, Sprint PCS, and Cingular Wireless. Wireless internet access over wide-area networks is still slow and is conducted mostly through what are currently known as 2G or 2.5G wireless networks. Data speeds are slow (averages run between 20 and 60 Kbps), but coverage is nearly ubiquitous. 3G, the next generation of wireless wide-area networks, promise greater data speeds (up to 384 Kbps) with the same level of nearly ubiquitous coverage as current wireless networks.

Wireless local area networks - WLANs
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) are smaller-scale wireless networks with a typical radius of several hundred feet. The most prevalent form of Wireless Local Area Network technology is called WiFi, which includes a host of standards including 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. Wireless Internet via WiFi offers blazing fast data speeds (11Mbps at the low end with 802.11b and 54 Mbps at the high end for 802.11a and 802.11g). While WiFi technology does not offer the degree of ubiquity as wide area networks, the WLAN's data speeds and relatively cheap costs have spurred it ahead in the popular market as a wireless internet solution.Hotspots & HotzonesHotspots are specific locations in which a WiFi access point provides public wireless broadband service through a wireless local area network (WLAN). Hotspots usually have a short range of access, limited to one or two access points. Hotspots are often located in heavily populated venues, such as coffee shops, airports, hotels, train stations, libraries, and convention centers.Hotzones are hotspots with a wider level of coverage, such as the downtown area of a major city. Unlike hotspots, hotzones are not limited to one or two access points and often use wider-area WiFi solutions, such as those from Vivato or BelAir Networks. Many hotzones are subsidized by the municipalities where they are located, meaning that access can be either free or cheaper than commercial hotspots.

Personal area networks - PANs
Personal area networks (PANs) are short-range wireless networks that connect wireless devices to one another. The most dominant form of Personal Area Network technology is Bluetooth, which links wireless devices at very short distances. Bluetooth allows for fast data speeds (between 1Mbps and 2Mbps), but is designed only for peer-to-peer data transfer. A new emerging form of PAN technology, called ZigBee, offers slower data speeds (250Kbps) than Bluetooth, but is both cheaper than Bluetooth and requires far less energy to power.
