Zeta Broadband

Zeta Broadband, LLC. is a wireless internet service provider. The company specializes in servicing rural and remote areas. The company uses wireless radio frequencies (RF) to deliver broadband speed to your home. The company's goal is to deliver an enjoyable internet experience for those who would have otherwise been left unserviced by other broadb... and providers. So how do you differ from a Satellite ISP? Just to clarify, the company is NOT a satellite provider. The company deal with terrestrial wireless, meaning the company's points of presence are scattered throughout the Sacramento and surrounding areas much like your cell phone service. The company is limited to Line of Sight, which means in most cases you'll need a clear unobstructed view to one of the company's towers. Trees and other obstructions will cause problems with connectivity and speed. In some areas the company do offer "Near Line of Sight" service, which, works better at penetrating trees and other obstacles. Because we're a terrestrial based service, the radio frequencies don't need to travel as far as they would in a satellite environment. Thus, resulting in much lower latency. Typical latency reported off of Satellite providers range from 1000ms-3000ms, on the company's network average latency ranges from 20-80ms. What does a typical installation look like? The company's typical installation consists of mounting a "J-Arm" to the eave of your home. On the "J-Arm" the company mount the company's antenna which is a panel about 12 x 12 x 2. From the antenna the company run CAT5E cable to the room specified. Interior attic pulls are not included in the standard installation. These are available for an additional $85/hr.Read More
