Fixed Wireless Internet

When you opt for fixed wireless internet, we will install a receiver on your house. It will communicate with the nearest wireless base station and offer you access to the web via a cat5 cable carrying the broadband signal from the receiver to the router in your house.

Fixed wireless internet is a great choice in rural areas where setting up the infrastructure for broadband services like DSL is prohibitively expensive. Transporting and burying cables in the ground and getting the necessary permits can be costly. So, it doesn’t always make financial sense to go down the road in less populated areas, where we can’t get enough subscribers on board to justify the total costs.

Pros and cons of fixed wireless internet

As with everything in life, fixed wireless internet has its share of advantages and disadvantages. Let’s talk about the benefits first.

• It’s easier to set up the equipment needed for fixed wireless internet than for other broadband services because it doesn’t require physical cables or much hassle.
• Unlike traditional cellular services, fixed wireless internet has no caps at all. Additionally, the technology offers high download speeds that are just as fast, if not quicker, than some of those you get from other “broadband” services.

Of course, there are also some downsides:

• You also need a clear line of sight between the receiver on your house and our tower. Obstructions such as trees and hills can affect the quality of the service and even rule it out as an option.
• Speeds offered are up to 30Mbps, however are dependent on each individual location and may not be able to provide speeds higher than 20Mbps down and 5Mbps up, however, our customers using this system have been very satisfied.
