Altaire Offers High-Speed Fiber-Optics

Posted in Our Community

November 10th, 2009 by Altaire Townhomes

altaire_blog_high_speed

Altaire makes it easy to work from home with high-speed data and fiber-optic wiring.

Regis Homes of Northern California built our community with the future in mind and pre-wired Altaire homes with high-speed fiber-optics, so that you can claim your tomorrow today!

The Altaire community has partnered with a leader in fiber-optic technologies to bring you the life-enhancing benefits of fiber to the home.* Distance learning, telecommuting, video on demand and online gaming are just a few of the existing applications that fiber to the home makes possible. Fiber-optics also make it easy to enjoy movies, photos and music at mind bending speeds.

What is fiber-optics?

High-speed fiber-optics is a unique technology that transmits data through thin strands of glass fiber, using laser-generated pulses of light. Most U.S. based homes have copper wiring that connects them to a telecommunication network. Fiber optic connections are more often reserved for the primary links. Since “the last mile” is known to play an important role in the quality of your service, many providers are offering fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP). FTTP replaces that last-mile of copper with fiber optic cable, providing Altaire Palo Alto homes with the best possible connection, and the best possibility of quality service. Since light travels faster than any other wave, at 300,000 kilometers per second, you are able to work and play that much faster speeds!

• Speeds up to 1,000 Mbps

• No modem required

• Plug your computer into any Internet port throughout your home

Whether you are a telecommuter, designer or an avid online gamer this feature is sure to benefit your lifestyle in the heart of Silicon Valley.

3rd party subscription required*

Good News for Altaire – Palo Alto fourth in state among K-12 districts

Posted in Palo Alto

October 29th, 2009 by admin

Good news for current and future Altaire residents! We are located within a top ranking school district -check out the article link below from Palo Alto Online.

Palo Alto is a family friendly community in the heart of Silicon Valley with great weather and great schools. Altaire is easily accessible to many major employers, and with many walkable services nearby, including the new state of the art campus of the Palo Alto JCC, there is something for all ages.

The design of our community is very pedestrian friendly. It is built on a podium with meandering walks lined with lush bamboo. Without streets to cross, there is no traffic and no fumes from cars, which makes it safer for the kids to play. Our neighbor, the Oshman Family JCC offers 12 acres of fun which includes access to Yoga/Pilates, state of the art fitness center, basketball courts, Daycare, Swimming Pools and a 9,000 sq ft cultural theater. With these just steps from your front door, you feel like you are part of a greater community. The JCC also offers preschool classrooms. When you purchase a home here at Altaire, we will include a 1 year membership free!
How convenient is that?
