Wireless Coverage Area

CDi Broadband high speed wireless service requires line-of-sight between your location and one of the CDi Broadband services towers. Trees, hills, and buildings between you r location and the tower will interrupt the wireless signal. With good line-of-sight, CDi Broadband 2.4ghz service is available up to 8 miles from the tower and up to 5 miles from the tower with 5ghz service.

Because of the line-of-sight requirements of this wireless technology, a signal test is required before service can be assured at your home or office.

If you have a question about CDi Broadband coverage or would like to schedule a signal test, please give us a call or send us an email.

Client Premises Equipment

In order to use CDi Broadband internet service, each customer needs to have a small antenna and transceiver that sends and receives microwave radio signals from a community tower. As part of the installation and activation process, CDi will provide and install the needed equipment at the customers home or office. The exact equipment used will depend on a number of factors, such as distances from the service tower, line-of-sight from the customer's location to the service tower, and the space available to mount the equipment.

In most cases, CDi will install an integrated antenna and transceiver. This keeps the equipment all together outside with the antenna. In some cases because of the longer distance the signal has to travel from the tower to the customer, or because of poor line-of-sight CDi will choose to install a separate antenna and transceiver. In these cases the antenna is mounted as high as possible, to maximize line-of-sight to the tower and the transceiver is mounted in a separate weatherproof enclosure next to the antenna.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What equipment does CDi provide as a part of the installation?

A: CDi Broadband will provide the antenna, transceiver, wireless or wired broadband router and the necessary cabling and mounting hardware. The mounting hardware may include up to a 10ft. mounting pole as needed. If more height is required for a specific installation, a small ham radio style tower may be needed. If a tower is needed, CDi will help to arrange the tower installation, but the cost of the tower and installation of the tower will be the responsibility of the customer, above and beyond the CDi standard installation charge.

Q: What does the installation charge include?

A: The CDi installation and activation charge includes installing the antenna, and transceiver at the customers location and connecting that equipment to the provided router. In addition, CDi will configure one computer to use the internet connection through the router. Connecting additional computers to use the service provided through the router, either over network cable, or wirelessly, will be done at the customer's request for an additional charge of $35.00 per hour, with a $25.00 minimum that covers the first 30 minutes of time. If additional equipment or cabling is needed to connect the additional computers to the router, these materials will be charged to the customer in addition to the hourly charge.

Q: What happens if the equipment stops working and needs to be replaced?

A: It is the customer's responsibility to let CDi know if the service has stopped working. After being notified of a service outage, CDi technical support will troubleshoot the problem. If it is found that the customer premises equipment has failed, and needs to be replaced, CDi will replace the equipment at no additional charge to the customer.

Q: What happens to the equipment if I cancel my service for some reason?

A: CDi retains ownership of the equipment installed at the customer's location. If a customer cancels service for any reason, CDi will setup a time to uninstall the equipment used to connect to the CDi Broadband service. This includes antenna, transceiver, and router, in addition to related cabling and connectors.
