Internet and Computer System

(1) The Back Bone to Internet

We use wireless radio waves to deliver high bandwidth and buzz productivity because such technology is reliable and is the only economical solution in Bali for 24-hour un-interrupted internet connection. Our microwave radio links utilise the 2.4Ghz radio spectrum and offer a reliable throughput speeds of 256 kbps within the WLAN. The "line of sight" between our café and our internet service provider is only less than 1 km, an optimal range to reduce interferences and extra relay point. Our antenna is placed on a high point above the café and connecting to its sister antenna at our ISP. We own this pair of antennas which operate as an important communication hub of a totally dedicated link.
