MultiGig

Learn More

MBC is proud to offer MultiGig Broadband Internet available in ALL locations across all Installations in Okinawa including Camp Schwab!  As its name infers, MultiGig Internet is an Internet service with download speeds greater than 1Gbps.  MultiGig Internet provides a bigger and faster MBC connection to the Internet so you can do more fast things across more simultaneously connected fast devices.

While many computers, gaming stations, smart phones, tablets, and other consumer devices may not have wired or wireless network interface cards to support speeds in excess of 1Gbps, a MultiGig connection allows you to maximize the full capability of all of your connected devices.

While operating systems, web browsers, processors, memory, hard drive type and space are important, the most critical component to getting the most from an Internet connection is the Network Interface Card that resides in a connected device.  You may find that your computer only has a 100Mbps Network Interface Card. If this is the case, you can only see 100Mbps of throughput for that device. If you are connecting wireless devices (tablets, smart phones, gaming stations, streaming devices, etc.), you may only see maximum wireless speed test results of 500Mbps – 600Mbps.  This is a limitation of the wireless spectrum available.  But that’s all OK. MultiGig Internet service allows you to add up all of those fast wired and wireless connections and maximize your total Internet experience.

MultiGig Internet is not necessarily about the delivery of MultiGig to any one device because there are few, if any, true MultiGig single use applications. MultiGig Internet is about the delivery of the largest possible pipe to support as many connected devices for as many heavy use activities that you may want to run.

MultiGig Internet is for MBC customers who demand the FASTEST connection available ON ALL Bases!

UNLIMITED DEVICES + PRIVACY

MBC does not limit the number of devices you can have on your network. PLUS, the MBC network is a private and secure network.  MBC does not operate an ‘airport’ or public WiFi system accessed by hundreds of other users you don’t know. At MBC, you create your own network name and password to access your secure and private wired and wireless connections.

STREAM U.S. CONTENT

U.S. streaming content isn’t always available outside of the United States.   However, MBC has worked with the largest streaming service providers including Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Discovery+, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV & more to clear our IP addresses to allow you access to U.S. streaming content! If you have a subscription with one of the MBC cleared streaming services, then you can connect using your U.S. account while connected to MBC.  No VPN required!

ONLINE GAMING

Need a fast, reliable connection for gaming? The MBC network is a high-speed, low-latency reliable connection for all of your gaming needs. Our modems support multiple fast ethernet ports, allowing multiple PCs or Consoles to directly connect to your network. Wireless may be OK for streaming and basic internet use, but a direct wired connection to an MBC modem is what gamers need!

FLEXIBLE TO YOUR NEEDS

MBC has NO contracts. That means you can start and stop MBC services at any time. In addition, if you will be leaving Okinawa for a short period of time (including TAD / TDY), you can request a suspension on your MBC account so you will not be billed for MBC services while you are gone.  You can suspend and request reactivation of your account through our EASY on-line subscriber portal.
