Fixed wireless transmits a radio signal from a tower, over the unlicensed portion of the radio frequency spectrum to individual units located in homes and businesses within the line-of-sight range of the tower. These signals are converted to Ethernet and, by means of a network card installed in the computer, provide high-speed Internet access to the user.

What is Fixed Wireless Technology?

  • No telephone company between you and the Internet - old telephone lines, circuits amplified over long distances, and aging infrastructure all slow down, or prevent other Internet connections from functioning at all.
  • Quick service delivery - if you need service, your wireless provider is the only one you have to call.
  • Fixed wireless is fast - with speeds starting at 256k - for web surfing or file transfer, wireless provides consistent speeds both "upstream" and "downstream."
  • No slow down during peak usage times like other fiber-based service providers.
  • Inclement weather does not interfere with signal transmission - unless wind or lightening removes the antenna, your service will continue.
Business
  • One connection provides high-speed access for the entire office - multiple PCs don't slow down the connection speed.
  • Unlike fiber-based connections, wireless allows rapid file uploading and transfer as well as fast browsing and downloading capability. Upstream and downstream speeds are equal.
  • Save money - one time installation costs with wireless versus monthly charges for a dedicated phone line or specialized modems.
School
  • Research, take classes, upload and download large files with ease and speed over a dependable, fast wireless connection.
  • Connect to and utilize resources from other schools and universities via online classrooms requiring high-speed connections to function.
  • Access study materials in specialized fields anywhere in the world.
Home
  • Never miss important calls, or get constant busy signals when calling home because the computer is tying up the phone line.
  • Protect your family by allowing auto-dial devices such as alarm systems or health alerts to have full access to your phone line while still maintaining an "always on" Internet connection.
  • Have full high-speed Internet access even if you choose not to install a land-line telephone in your home or apartment.
