The InventionShare has announced a new invention called 5by5 Wireless that will provide high speed internet to holiday travelers in rural, remote and island settings through the application of its 5by5 Wireless 25 mile (32 km) radius hot spots.
Greg Waite, CEO of InventionShare said the company is now in discussions with a number of island jurisdictions about providing internet to a variety of travel destinations in the Caribbean, Central America, New Zealand and the Middle East.
5by5 Wireless provides a hot spot with approximately five times greater wireless internet coverage for economical internet and wireless connectivity over broad areas. Developed by a team of experienced technology entrepreneurs with many years’ experience in wireless communications, the full duplex wireless communications system is a 100% hardware solution. A single 360-degree antenna affords greater data throughput, providing wireless coverage up to 25 miles (32 km) for a total circular coverage area of 1,250 square miles or 3,200 square km from one low cost base station.
These hot spots use the UHF 300-1000 MHz frequency spectrum. For example, 48 MHz of downstream bandwidth will provide data operating speed of 216 Mbps for downloading, and 24 MHz of upstream bandwidth will provide 32 Mbps - providing the opportunity for thousands of internet users. The 5by5 Wireless circuit also can provide full duplex over all spectrum to all wireless communications devices, and is platform agnostic. While the service can deploy across all platforms, it currently uses DOCSIS 3.0, and is LTE compliant.
5by5 Wireless is able to provide an internet solution including base station and antenna installations for less than $200,000 U.S. per base station installation and CPI or BPI for less than $180 U.S., providing that a backbone is available.
Mr. Waite said that these new large area hot spots are ideal for islands with a lot of transit tourists, visiting boaters or island residents wanting affordable internet in remote areas. He stated that InventionShare is open for licensing and distribution discussions with regional and national telephone companies, ISPs, cable and tower companies who now can get into the wireless business with a low cost, elegant wireless internet solution.
