PRIORITYIPsm
Broadband Internet


In September 2000, RNi announced the pilot deployment of its PRIORITYIP sm broadband Internet technology in its home city of Tempe, AZ. The service area is expanding out from the first Access Point located in Tempe and will reach out to cover the entire Phoenix metro area and outlying communities.

PRIORITYIP sm broadband Internet is delivered through a Metropolitan Area Network based on 2.4GHZ Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Radio technology. The network is capable of priority based routing and bandwidth shaping allowing multiple levels of service to be offered on the same medium. It is this advantage along with the cost-effectiveness of wireless that allow RNi to offer last mile connectivity at price/performance combinations that were previously unheard of. Each PRIORITYIPsm tier is guaranteed three ways.


1) CIR (Committed Information Rate). This is the rate of bandwidth you will get at all times guaranteed.
2) Uptime. This is the percentage of time your circuit will be up and running in a given month.
3) Latency. This is the maximum latency guarantee measured over a given month.

You will find these guarantees in the RNi SLA (Service Level Agreement).

PRIORITYIP sm P1 broadband Internet is the premier RNi connectivity solution. Meant for businesses with significant data requirements, P1 is equivalent to point-to-point broadband connectivity typically offered on a wired medium. The performance of P1 service is equivalent to T1, E1, T3, DS-3, etc.

CIR = 100%, Uptime = 99.9%, Latency = 60ms or less

PRIORITYIP sm P2 broadband Internet subscribers yield to P1 subscribers and share the available bandwidth in their wireless cell. Like P1 subscribers, P2 subscribers enjoy FULL speed downloads AND uploads making it an attractive solution for small to medium sized businesses and even home enthusiasts. This level of PRIORITYIP sm broadband Internet is comparable to Symmetric DSL services.

CIR = 50%, Uptime = 99%, Latency = 60ms or less

PRIORITYIP sm P3 broadband Internet is a consumer tier service which yields to P1 and P2, but offers burst downloads at full network capacity. This level of PRIORITYIP sm broadband Internet service exceeds cable modem performance.

CIR = 25%, Uptime = 99%, Latency = 80ms or less

PRIORITYIP sm broadband Internet accounts are offered with valuable packaged services for home and office. See below for details.
