MattFS218 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I was wondering if anyone knew of a Thai ISP that offers wireless line of sight /fixed antenna high speed internet connections. I am trying to hookup a hi-speed line out at one of the industrial complexes on the Eastern Seaboard but am too far for ADSL and IPStar is slow. Any ideas?

monty Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 No such thing in Thailand... The three options for broadband in Thailand are cable (Bkk only), adsl or sattelite (iptv or ipstar) IPSTAR is both expensive and seems slow when surfing because of the latency you have with every satelite system..

Chiang Mai city center also has cable up to 2 Mbit (TRUE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefoxx Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 There are microwave communications in Thailand, but no ISP will offer it directly. You'd probably have to use a communications provider, and it will be very expensive. Doesn't the complex offer some sort of internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajal Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 from what i read in adslthailand's forum, WIMAX is highly restrected in thailand... only tot has tried it...and that too will be used for rural areas where phone line isint there. the equipment cost is very high... btw wimax is a new technology using IEEE 802.16. under line of sight condiditions max distance is 75 Km and maximum bandwidth is 26 mbps... maybe wait 2 yrs and wimax would become popular in thailand.... no more cluter of cables for the net....just take yr notebook...drive accross the town....use the net during traffic jams.... govt should allow wimax...that way we wont crib about the traffic....;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Jean Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 (edited) Matt, You might consider using FSO (Free Space Optics). This is a system with a receiver/transmitter at both sides. You will have no trouble with regulations because it is not using any radio frequencies.

sajal Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 (edited) nice technology...but too expensive http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=SONAbeam but for this to work he needs to have an adsl connection somewhere and then hook up this line of sight equipment... if he has a friend or sumone ready for this setup, id suggest some hi powered WIFI antenna....they can get the range upto several kilometers...

Zoom who offer it dont tie you into any contract just pay the monthly cancel at the end of a month. They also offer a buy back on your 'modem' if you want. Only problem with Zoom is there is a low data cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
