Wireless Internet

B2 Movie Network (B2MN), has teamed up with Colubris Networks to deliver high speed, high quality wireless internet in your property. With a large number of these units already installed in the field, B2MN is confident that you will get trouble-free and robust performance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Colubris access points are robust enough to be installed indoors or outdoors, provided they are encased in a waterproof enclosure, and exterior cable is used. Using state of the art power-over-Ethernet technology, these units can literally be located anywhere, such as in suspended ceilings, attics and crawl spaces.

Internet

All you need to get started is a connection to an Internet Service Provider, such as a cable modem, digital subscriber line, or a wireless connection. The higher the speed the better, as this is the bottleneck in the system. A reasonable rule of thumb to estimate the speed requirement in the forward direction is to use 250Kb/s for every 8 rooms. And about 1/3 of that in the reverse direction. For example, 64 room property should have at least a 2Mb/s connection in the forward direction and 600Kb/s reverse.

Infrastructure

The wireless infrastructure, paradoxically, requires cabling from the point at which the internet enters the building to the access point. This cabling is standard Ethernet CAT 5/e, we can install it for you or you can do it yourselves. We will terminate each cable and test it prior to installing access points.

Each access point is powered by the Ethernet cabling, eliminating the need to have electrical outlets and enabling them to be positioned in attics, crawl spaces, suspended ceilings and even on the outside of the building, but in a waterproof enclosure. The access points require no regular maintenance or tuning once installed.

Backroom

Backroom functionality provides a secure, seamless environment for your guests to get onto the internet. If you are concerned about keeping your network just for your guests, we have a solution for you. If you charge for use, we can provide a connection to your property management system for this purpose. 24/7 support can also be provided for the guests.

We also offer a less expensive, limited functionality backroom that provides minimum functionality with no support for cost-sensitive applications.
