At every FoxMoxie location, you are connected via our latest software, always.
Some features you will find:
- 802.11g 54Mbps High-Speed Wireless
- Native IPv6 Connectivity
- Per-Second Accounting
- Mobility
- WPA Security
- Roaming
And an overview of these features:
802.11g 54Mbps High-Speed Wireless
Most wireless Internet providers in the world currently
offer 11Mbps access, which is quite fast. Despite this, many customers
simply need a "bigger pipe".
FoxMoxie provides this needed speed, and if you have a SpeedBooster compatible wireless networking adapter, such as a Linksys GS wireless device, your connection can be even faster; Up to 35% faster than plain 802.11g!
Native IPv6 Connectivity
IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol, which most
Internet providers have been slow to adopt. This is painfully
demonstrated in North America, where IPv6 deployment is complete at
slightly below 1% of all Internet providers.
IPv6 connectivity comes with an impressive set of
advantages over it's grand-father, IPv4, including multi-homing
abilities, your own public production IP address, including improved
routing for better connections to remote hosts.
Per-Second Accounting
As the name states, FoxMoxie will charge only for
time used to access Internet services, and is metered by the second.
Utilities are currently under development to allow a user to see their
remaining time within an accuracy margin of about 6ms (milliseconds).
Okay, perhaps it's overkill, but we take accuracy seriously.
Mobility
I have never found a WISP which allows one to walk
between access-points, or drive between them, and receive "cellular
telephone"-like service. Everytime I've tried, my downloads drop, my
Wi-Fi must reassociate and my computer is assigned an entirely new IP
address!
When I ask about it, most WISPs usually scoff and state "Nobody does that."
FoxMoxie will not allow such dastardly events to happen on our
network. Your wireless freedom is absolute; You can listen to Internet
radio on the metro, as it rides through our network, and not have any
service interruption.
WPA Security
WPA is the new standard for securely using your Wireless to access a network. This should be standard, since a wireless connection is otherwise wide-open to eavesdroppers.
Oddly, again, I've never found a WISP who offers this. FoxMoxie to the rescue! WPA, at no charge!
Roaming
Roaming is rather common in the WISP world. You don't
have a FoxMoxie account? Or, you do, and you're in Siberia where we
don't provide service (yet)? Not a problem, simply visit one of our
roaming partner locations:
- SelectMesh.com
- Boingo.com
Once at the location, simply log-in to your
account as usual, appending "foxmoxie.com" to your username. Please
remember, since it is not a FoxMoxie location, you may not receive all
features available, such as IPv6, roaming, WPA, or others.
New roaming partners are being established regularly.
For the frequent adventurer abroad, check this section regularly for an
updated list.
