Q: What is Massivemesh?

A: Massivemesh Networks was founded locally in Troy, NY in 2014, with the sole mission of providing high-speed Internet options featuring the latest in wireless technology. Our fiber-fed mesh network is able to provide a robust and secure high-speed Internet connection, with more affordable plans than the traditional cable based Internet providers.

Q: How does the technology work?
A: Fiber optic connections form the backbone of our network; feeding wireless high-speed Internet connections to repeater sites throughout the surrounding area. These sites wirelessly deliver Internet service to your home or business, using only a small wireless radio transmitter placed on your roof. This point-to-point wireless Internet connection eliminates the need for cable lines and utility pole connections.  The equipment is carefully positioned on the roof of your home or business, attached to a non-penetrating mount. All equipment rests on top of a layer of protective matting, ensuring no damage occurs to the building. This installation strategy guarantees you a strong and reliable connection, without the need for drilling or permanent mounting to the building. Once the wireless radio is installed, an Ethernet cord will be ran directly from the equipment to you. You will have the option to directly to connect your device via an Ethernet port, or you may utilize a Wi-Fi router to transmit your secure high-speed Internet connection throughout your home or business. 

​

Q: What is the 2nd Generation Network?
A: Amazing advances in wireless technology have allowed us to offer better, more reliable service than ever before. As more advanced hardware has become available, we continue to focus on growing and strengthening our network. For the most reliable connection in a densely populated urban environment, we aim to install the equipment on the roof of the building, with a line of sight connection to one of our repeater or tower sites. No damage is done to the buildings, and all equipment is placed on the roof on top of a layer of protective matting.

 

Q: What is the installation process?
A: The entire installation process from signup to surfing the web, usually only takes a few days, and in some cases can even be activated the same day (pre-wired buildings). Within 48 hours of signup or contact we will schedule a complimentary signal survey for you. This is done to verify where on the roof the equipment will be installed, how to best route the cable to your business or residence, and test signal strength to ensure the best connection for you. Once the signal is verified, we will schedule your installation and the soonest convenient time appointment time for you.

A: Absolutely not! In the past, traditional Internet service providers have tried to maintain a monopoly on the market, leaving the consumer with few choices. Massivemesh is here to offer you options, as well as the friendly personal service you deserve. As wireless technology improves, more affordable options are becoming available, allowing additional providers to compete for your business. We are able to offer lower prices and provide a higher level of reliable service.

Q: Why/how is MassiveMesh able to provide superior service at a lower cost?
