High-Speed Internet |
Here's how it works...
Your facility will have its own high speed internet online home page, customized to your facility. Each resident subscribing
to your high speed internet service is always online, all the time. When they turn on, they will see your custom Internet home page and can instantly
obtain email, surf the web, and click special links to area information. Having a resident tie up a phone line is not necessary. Your residents may
continue to use AOL if they wish although not necessary. Each cable modem may have 3 separate email accounts. Unlike generic email services, because
your facility will have its own unique domain, the odds are very good that "bobsmith@parkviewliving.com" will be an available email account. "bobsmith"
may not be available at yahoo, google, AOL or anywhere else, but it is available at your facility.
Each resident desiring high speed internet service uses a DOCSIS cable modem which are purchased with the system. The modem connects
to an Ethernet card or USB connection in the residents computer. (The cost for the modem may be passed along as part of an installation fee or provided
to residents as part of the cost for service.) The modems are administered and remotely turned on and off depending on who is authorized for service.
The cable modem will work with any operating system with a network card (Macintosh, Linux, Unix, Windows) and USB will work with Windows 98 SE or better.
Your SeniorTV cable headend is connected to the Internet using either a T-1 or DSL connection from the local phone company. A broadband router is
located in the SeniorTV cable TV headend which shares the high speed internet connection with everyone on your cable system using
the existing coaxial wiring. This is the same method used by large franchise cable TV operators except the cost is much less.
Your cable TV wiring system and amplifiers are upgraded or replaced for 2-way capability so
that the cable TV channels and computer downloads are delivered forward from the headend to the resident computer, and the resident's request or
"send button" is delivered in reverse back to the headend. Utilizing a good wiring system is important.
