Back-Up Coding Deployed

The main topic being asked by ItsYourNet's Affiliate members surrounds the decision made by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and the US Department of Homeland Security blocking access and use of certain frequencies, of which the Wi-Fi service platform had been designed around.

Well, their decision was made public in late April, news that we did not want to hear; several high-level signal frequencies have now been blocked from use by Television stations, US Military Communications, as well as the Wi-Fi and WiMax industries.

Nonetheless, the news is not all bad - Mr. Brown (the Wi-Fi CEO) had not taken a moment's rest in deployment of the back-up coding and programming that had been prepared for use with other signal frequencies.

On May 16th Mr. Brown once again began testing of the Wi-Fi signal strength in the State of Arizona using the back-up code, and, in a nut shell, the Wi-Fi project is still a go.

However, the distance the Wi-Fi signal can reach is less than the 40 miles achieved last year. A solid signal was achieved and maintained up to a distance of 26 miles in the new tests.

Certainly not as impressive as what was achieved with the original frequencies, but ultimately, enough to keep the seven (7) Investment Bankers (who have collectively brought the $13-Billion+ investment capital to the table) happy and save the project for us all.

Next is the mountainous terrain testing, and, if a solid signal is obtained in the range of 16 to 20 miles, we are still a go.

As much as I would like to provide one, we have not yet been given a date for the mountainous terrain retesting to commence, but we will update you as soon as we receive word.

Nonetheless, Mr. Brown is confident that the 16 to 20 mile target will easily be able to be reached, and further explained that we would have in fact already been live with the service if the FCC and US Government had not thrown a cog in the wheel over the frequency debate. This means we should see the Wi-Fi service go live near immediately after the mountainous terrain tests are complete.

We will provide you with further updates as soon as they come in.
