MediaG3's IW4G, a New Generation of WIMAX
The 4G customer experience is similar to that provided by Wi-Fi, but without the short-range limitations of a traditional Internet hot spot. The companies are all using a wireless 4G technology that differs from Wi-Fi called WiMAX, which provides service areas measured in miles, not feet.
Further, IW4G gives you average mobile download speeds of 3 to 6 mbps with bursts over 10 mbps.*
As the Internet integrates deeper into daily life, the opportunities to stay connected and be productive are enhanced by IW4G in numerous ways:
-- A busy parent who wants full Internet connectivity for kids studying
or playing games in the back of the family minivan;
-- A college student or retiree looking for one affordable Internet
service provider to meet their needs at home, on campus and on-the-go;
-- A mobile professional who is unsatisfied with the speeds and
limitations of 3G modem cards or the need to seek out Wi-Fi hotspots;
-- A commuter interested in working or accessing entertainment sites like
Hulu or Pandora on the way home.
For these and many other customers, IW4G's simple and innovative pricing provides ultimate flexibility. IW4G's mobile and residential plans can be purchased by the day or by the month, and with several no service contract options available. Home Internet service plans start at $25 per month, while mobile Internet plans start at $35 per month, or customers can purchase a convenient day pass for $10. Additional savings are available for customers by purchasing a combination of services that could include home-and-mobile or mobile-and-mobile Internet plans starting at $50 for both, or by signing up for a two-year service agreement. The dual-mode 4G/3G plan is available for just $70 per month with a two-year service agreement.
