Monet is deploying a standards-based network in the PCS band (1.9 GHz) that is optimized for
data and utilizes CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology, a 3G wireless standard developed by
QUALCOMM. Monet Broadband supports data transmission service giving users high-speed
Internet access with average speed ranging from 300 to 700 kbps.
Monet chose CDMA technology because of its clear path to high-speed, packet-based data
transmission and the ability to maximize spectrum efficiency. Monet has the advantage of
building a network optimized for packet data transmission, rather than upgrading a large
infrastructure originally built for voice. This allows the company to leapfrog current wireless voice
providers in the path to fast wireless data.
Monet’s use of a wireless PC card modem and user-provisioned service will give the company a
significant advantage over both wired and wireless solutions. The fast connection and mobility of
Monet Broadband is unique to the Internet access market.
What about privacy? The secure CDMA network is designed with digital coding that is
recognized only by the base station and unintelligible to eavesdroppers.
