An innovative solution unlocking access and possibilities.
Fixed wireless is creating more opportunity.
More than ever before, people and businesses expect to stay connected to work and life. Fixed wireless offers businesses and property managers a new way to stay connected. And while it’s traditionally been deployed in rural environments, it’s now a proven and reliable solution for urban and suburban areas too. Complementary to fiber, it’s a way to provide high speed broadband internet or ethernet access, using a radio link to connect two fixed locations.
Where fixed wireless fits in.
Broadband is increasingly becoming a necessity of life, but there are still many areas where connectivity is a challenge. Fixed wireless is a new solution bridging the gap, and brings many benefits.
