This questions gets asked a lot!  The technology we use for delivering high quality services to your household is NOT the same type of wireless you can buy from Best Buy, Staples, Walmart, etc.  We use carrier grade wireless technology which is engineered for the maximum amount of up-time and can automatically adapt itself to accommodate for weather or other changing environmental aspects.  This is not like a cell phone with spotty coverage, this is not like a cheap wireless router from Best Buy, this is not your dad’s old wireless....take a look at our testimonies!

To get your services up and running you do NOT have to buy anything from us.  You will need a few items:  a computer, and if you want to be wireless in your home you need to get a wireless router for your household or buy one from us.  Please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

NO.  WIFI is just a general term used to classify or certify products that belong to a group of devices that can be used for local wireless connections (these would be your wireless routers from Best Buy, Staples, etc).  We use carrier grade wireless technology to get the services to your household.  A Hot Spot is just a location in which someone has taken a cheap WIFI device and set it up for people to connect to (you see this in coffee shops).

WiMax is a 4G wireless technology! WiMax is a carrier grade technology which is fast, reliable, and always on! WiMax technology provides customers with the best internet service possible!

Stated above, WiMax is a carrier grade technology that maintains high speed broadband connections.  Because this signal is encrypted for security and offers such high bandwidth abilities, a subscriber unit is needed to decrypt the signal from our towers.  If you would like to use your laptop, you can purchase a wireless router from DataMax Wireless or any any local retailer (DataMax  recommends Netgear wireless equipment).

Not at all! WiMax runs on our new-generation subscriber units.  No phone or cable TV lines are necessary,  our Qualified Technicians will come to your residence or business to install the subscriber unit for you.

Our DataMax Wireless or Wecom, Inc. technicians would be glad to assist you with any issues regarding the installation or moving of your WiMax Subscriber Unit, and any service disruptions.  Business service plans receive an SLA (service level agreement) and 24/7/365 monitoring.

We monitor statistics on all of our mission-critical communications links.  Our monitoring system is prominently displayed in our Network Operations Center and sends alerts to all of our technicians when traffic or signal trends change.  By receiving this information, we can proactively stabilize your link before a possible outage occurs.  It also gives us the ability to have extremely fast support response times and make sure your business receives the maximum up time!

Our Subscriber Units have a single ethernet cable coming from the back of the unit into your home or business.  This cable can then plug into your wired or wireless router to provide internet access to all of your computers.  If you have a single hardwired computer, the Subscriber Unit can connect directly to it.  Please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

No, there are no NAT limitations between our internet drain and your subscriber unit.  Any configurations or port forwarding will need to be set in your router.  Please note that hosting commercial services such as websites on residential packages is strictly prohibited and against your Terms of Service.  Commercial services may only exist on business packages.
