Move your Modem around on your desk; explore other areas of your home or office, such as a nearby window to pinpoint the optimum location for the modem. Generally, the higher the modem the stronger the signal

Yes, the modems are able to connect to external Antenna. External antennas are available from InternetGhana for the Skyburst modems. It comes as an extra cost to the client

InternetGhana is operating the skyburst system at a licensed portion of the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum and therefore does not envisage service interruption as a result of interference. Also, the Navini system, on which the skyburst service operates, has a built-in advanced digital processing algorithm that effectively allows the Skyburst system to operate in the presence of interfering signals.

Security Overview for Navini System:

The Navini System provides a "layer" approach to security. The system has, first, a network shared keyed identification that only the Base Station and Operator-authorized modems are aware of. Modems will only attempt registration to authorized Operator Base Stations. The second layer is modem authentication. At the time of registration every modem must be autheniticated by the Element Managment System.

In addition, the system supports Layer 3 controls for IP addressing, IP Broadcasting (ARP),and ICMP. For the application layer, the system also supports VPN and/or IPSEC transparently.

All Skyburst Modems have been configured in the skyburst system to allow mobility. This means that users of skyburst must be able to move from one place to another within the coverage of the skyburst network without service interruption.

Yes. When you install Ripwave Monitor software, which is used for troubleshooting Modem problems, follow the instructions in the Ripwave Modem User Guide.

Before installing, you should close all other applications on your computer, including Virus scan programs. Not doing so may cause the installation to fail. If a virus scan program is active, it can cause problems with the loading of Ripwave Monitor (also called NAVMON), and other processes can be affected. It is also recommended that the latest service pack for the computer Operating System (OS) be loaded. Check your computer against the Minimum System Requirements section of the Ripwave Modem User Guide.Once you have successfully installed Ripwave Monitor or Navini Diagnostics, it is safe to turn on the anti-virus program or other programs. This will happen automatically
