*No throttling of speeds or limiting bandwidth*

Wi-Fi uses radio waves to wirelessly connect devices like routers and smartphones, allowing data transmission and intetrnet connectivity without physical cables. 

A stable Wi-Fi connection with a speed of at least 1-2 Mbps (Megabits per second) is typically enough for a Point of Sale (POS) system to function properly. However, higher speeds can provide better performance, especially during peak usage times or for more data-intensive tasks. 

1. Wireless Internet Service:
Wireless internet service uses radio signals to transmit data between a device and a nearby base station or access point. This type of service includes technologies like Wi-Fi, cellular networks (3G, 4G, 5G), and fixed wireless broadband. It’s commonly used for local area network (LAN) connections within a limited range. Wireless internet is often faster and more reliable when the device is in close proximity to the access point.
2. Satellite Internet Service:
Satellite internet service, on the other hand, uses satellite technology to provide internet connectivity. Data is transmitted to and from satellites orbiting the Earth. A satellite dish at your location communicates with these satellites to establish a connection. This type of service is particularly useful in areas where traditional wired connections (cable or DSL) are not feasible due to remote locations or lack of infrastructure. However, satellite internet tends to have higher latency (signal delay) compared to other types of connections, which can impact real-time activities like online gaming or video conferencing.

In summary, wireless internet service uses radio signals for local connections and is often faster, while satellite internet relies on satellite communication for broader coverage, making it suitable for remote areas but with potentially higher latency.

The number of users who can effectively use an internet connection at the same time depends on various factors, including the type of internet connection, the available bandwidth, and the activities each user is engaged in. In general:

1. Broadband Connection (DSL, Cable, Fiber):
With a standard residential broadband connection, several users can use the internet simultaneously. The available bandwidth is typically shared among the connected devices. The more bandwidth you have, the more users can comfortably use the connection without significant slowdowns. For basic web browsing and streaming, a few users might share a connection without much trouble. However, as more users engage in data-intensive activities like HD streaming, online gaming, or video conferencing, the available bandwidth will be divided, potentially leading to slower speeds for each user.
2. Mobile Data (3G, 4G, 5G):
Mobile data networks also allow multiple users to connect at the same time. Mobile network providers have infrastructure to support a significant number of simultaneous connections. However, the available bandwidth is shared among users in a given cell tower’s coverage area. In densely populated areas with high user demand, you might experience slower speeds during peak times.
3. Satellite Internet:
Satellite internet services can support multiple users, but the available bandwidth is more limited compared to traditional broadband options. Satellite connections often have higher latency, which can affect real-time activities when used by multiple users simultaneously.
4. Enterprise or Business Connections:
Businesses often subscribe to internet plans with higher bandwidth to accommodate a larger number of users. Enterprise-grade connections are designed to handle more users and data-intensive tasks more effectively.

In essence, the number of users that can comfortably use an internet connection at the same time depends on the specific circumstances, the type of connection, and the activities being performed. Subscribing to a plan with higher bandwidth can help support more users and maintain better performance during peak usage times.

Each customer is provided with their own connection that needs to be planned and bulit to ensure the service we provide will perform efficiently. We provide a professional installation team.
