DSL:

• DSL uses the same copper phone lines that you are currently using for dial-up. We all know how bad our phone lines are in this area.
  
• DSL is only usable within a three mile radius (cable length) of the phone company exchange (Downtown CO). At that three mile distance, connections are very slow.
  

Cable Modems:

• Cable companies utilize their existing cable infrastructure to push digital data to home users. This technology was designed for users that are watching the same X number of TV channels. It does not scale well to a busy network environment with users all wanting to view different data.
  
• Testing in some sites has shown throughput speeds to actually drop below dial-up speed during peak hours.
  
• In addition, cable service is very limited in geographic range.
  

Satellite:

• The time it takes a signal to go into outer space, bounce off a satellite,
  then back to the ground and return is 900% slower than our wireless connection. Since TCP/IP is packet based (small packs of information per transmission), this equals truly slow Internet access.
  
• Other satellite options require a phone line for the uplink side of the connection. This also requires a local ISP connection for the phone line. In other words, you must pay for 2 accounts; satellite and dial-up.
  
• Satellite signals are highly susceptible to rain fade, with a medium rain completely cutting the signal off.
  

Phantom Wave:

• Phantom Wave Wireless DSL Internet Access provides a 256K, always-on connection, requiring no phone lines.
  
• Our system is highly scalable to accommodate a large number of users without degrading performance.
  
• All aspects of the process and connection are controllable by Argon Technologies.
  
• Weather does not affect the quality of the service.
  
• Phantom Wave can reach users in rural and outlying areas since we do not need phone or cable service. We are not limited to a 3 mile radius area per tower.
  
• Did we mention there are NO PHONE or CABLE COMPANIES involved?
  
• Phantom Wave home users are located behind a firewall and have private IP addresses for added security.
