Network Architecture

Quicksilver Wireless operates a private, secure network. The network is specifically designed for high performance, broadband, Internet Protocol traffic using a combination of Point-to-Point (PTP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) configurations. The architecture supports services offering burstable data rates from 1.5 Mbps through 100 Mbps. This network architecture provides the most flexibility in customizing our broadband access solutions for business customers.

Network Facility


Quicksilver Wireless is located in a state-of-the-art co-location facility within a post-disaster building. The facility is monitored 24x7 by video surveillance, motion and vibration detection. Additionally, all access is restricted and controlled via a security card system and palm scan. In order to protect our systems, in the event of a fire, an immediate response CO 2 suppression system will flood the entire co-location area. Internet connectivity is provided by a high-availability, fault tolerant and redundant router structure that offers failover to wireless if landlines are compromised.

Customer Install

Installation is specific for each customers situation. The most usual installation Quicksilver installs a self-standing ballast mount. This is a mount that sits on the roof and is held down by large concrete blocks. This mount is not bolted down and does not damage or penetrate the building or roof. The antenna is usually a single device that is about 14"x5"x2" and weighs a mere 5 pounds. A single cable is run down to the point where the customers equipment plugs in.
