Does anyone know of any companies that offer AirCard (internet) services around Denali National Park, specifically near McKinley Village?

Most of the hotels have free Wi Fi service. AT&T wireless seems to work all over the place. I worked at Denali 2009

Wi fi service antennas long range: http://www.radiolabs.com

I'm a bit confused because I called AT&T last week to inquire about their wireless aircard since they are my cell phone provider. The customer service representative looked up zip code 99755 and told me that AT&T doesn't have service there. I thought it was odd because my husband and I were there for two weeks last May and we had great service. After speaking with her I concluded that, perhaps, they may not offer internet service in that area. Thank you for the information. I will go under the assumption that they do have service and that she was incorrect.

Blueflames50...thanks for the confirmation. I really appreciate you taking the time to check with the person who uses AT&T. That was very kind.

Bob Blockus...I checked out the radio labs website. Are you familiar with the O2Connect USB Antenna? I have taken a job near McKinley Village that offers employee housing. They have WiFi in the rec room that I'm hoping to be able to access from my room. Since I don't know the location of my room in relation to the rec room, I won't know until I arrive whether or not I will have a direct line of sight. Do you have any recommendations?

the 02Connect USB Antenna should work very well. worth the buy. ARAMARK at Denali chalet and McKinley Village are good with Wi Fi for employees. Works in most of dorms. I will be back up at Chalet 2012. last time I worked at Denali was 2009.

Bob, thanks for letting me know about the antenna. I think I will come out better in the long run. Besides, if it works properly, it will save me about $60 per month and being locked in to a two-year contract.
