- Monet Broadband High-Speed Wireless Internet User Guide

Monet is deploying a standards-based network in the PCS band (1.9 GHz) that is optimized for

data and utilizes CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology, a 3G wireless standard developed by

QUALCOMM. Monet Broadband supports data transmission service giving users high-speed

Internet access with average speed ranging from 300 to 700 kbps.

Monet chose CDMA technology because of its clear path to high-speed, packet-based data

transmission and the ability to maximize spectrum efficiency. Monet has the advantage of

building a network optimized for packet data transmission, rather than upgrading a large

infrastructure originally built for voice. This allows the company to leapfrog current wireless voice

providers in the path to fast wireless data.

Monet’s use of a wireless PC card modem and user-provisioned service will give the company a

significant advantage over both wired and wireless solutions. The fast connection and mobility of

Monet Broadband is unique to the Internet access market.

What about privacy? The secure CDMA network is designed with digital coding that is

recognized only by the base station and unintelligible to eavesdroppers.
