Wireless Internet

Internet Services Provided by CRWIFI Ltda

We use a network of transmitters tied directly into a 200 megabit fiber backbone in San Jose. The transmitters in this network are owned by CRWIFI with no third parties involved. The system uses a modular design that allows for rapid growth with little or no impact on current subscribers. We cover 100's of square miles in Costa Rica including the San Jose Central Valley, and Puntarenas and areas west of San Ramon as well. We are always looking for new areas of coverage as well.

Speeds up to 100 megabits available

Residential customers can choose from 1Mbps to 4Mbps download speeds with variations of most packages. Business clients can obtain symmetrical connections up to 100Mbps. Our equipment can provide these speeds at up to 50 kilometers from the transmission sites.

CRWIFI News: May, 2012

At this time we are in the process of adding a new central transmission point on our network. This will allow us to increase the amount of bandwidth at each transmission to four times our current capacity.

Our latest expansion allows us to cover the city of Puriscal and also the highway between Santa Ana and Orotina. The new highway has brought a lot of demand for reliable high speed internet including both commercial and residential service.

Network latency and consistency of bandwidth is something we are always working on to stay a few steps of in front of the competition. We do this to insure our clients not only have high speed downloading, but also it makes for ultra fast browsing and excellent communications with applications like Skype, MagicJack, and VoIP based devices. Our primary fiber connection allows us to provide some of, if not the lowest latency times into North America of all other major providers for residential service.

Currently we are starting testing on our new core routers. They will allow us to improve our QOS (quality of service) and firewall functions to a point that is not found by any other provider in Costa Rica at this time.
