You will need these things to qualify for Wireless service from Prairie iNet:

1) A Qualifying Location
2) An Ethernet Friendly Environment
3) A Compatible Computer Operating System

Qualifying location
Your business needs to be located in a community where we offer service and be close enough to our tower to receive a clear signal. Generally, you need to be within four miles of our transmission tower and have a clear or near clear line of sight to the tower. Our transmission towers are usually located on water towers, grain elevators or tall buildings. The first thing that the installer will do when they arrive at your business is verify that you have appropriate signal strength. If you are unsure if you will qualify, give us a call.

Ethernet environment
We terminate our service on an Ethernet jack inside your office. You will need either a computer that has an Ethernet interface/port or a router/hub that is Ethernet friendly. In addition, you will need an Ethernet or cat 5 patch cable to go from our wall jack to your computer/router.

Computer Operating System Compatability
You will need a computer with an operating system that supports Ethernet and has the TCP/IP software component installed. Our service is compatible with Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000 and XP as well as Macintosh
and any Linux and Unix operating systems that support TCP/IP.

If you have any questions about how to install TCP/IP, contact the software company that designed your operating system. They will be able to provide you with instructions to install TCP/IP on your computer.

If you have any questions, please contact us via email or give us a call at 800-527-2404.
