Fixed wireless equipment is small, efficient and has a low visual profile.
- Small and lightweight
- Equipment size ranges from 8”x8”x4” to 24”x24”x15” and weighs from less than 10lbs to 32lbs.
- Silent and low-power
- Passively cooled radios mean you won’t hear or see any cooling units.
- Radios use under 60 watts of power.
- Low-profile
- Ability to blend the radios into the existing environment.
- Minimal rooftop footprint with multiple mounting options
- Wall mount: little to no rooftop space needed.
- Non-penetration mount: mounts reside on rubber mats protecting the roof surface; 4’x4’ of roof space is typically required.
- Minimal cabling
- Only requires a fiber jumper and DC power cable.
- Ability to use existing infrastructure
- If you have an existing fiber distribution panel or riser system, you can utilize without significant construction or roof penetration.

Product FAQs.
Ethernet and Internet Access can be delivered over Fixed Wireless.
Fixed Wireless is a complementary solution to fiber for businesses used for hard-to-reach areas, network diversity or a temporary line of service while we build your fiber network.
Deploying Fixed Wireless is easier than you think. But there are five important steps to getting you on air the right way starting with determining line of sight, obtaining access and permits, deploying and adjusting equipment and establishing a demarcation point.
Fixed Wireless requires a clear line of sight. We use tools that can help us determine if there are any obstructions to the signal. During our site survey we’ll review your equipment and rooftop requirements using tools to help us determine if there are any obstructions to the signal.
While Fixed Wireless has traditionally been deployed in rural environments, it’s a proven enterprise-grade solution for businesses in urban and suburban areas demanding reliable, high-availability bandwidth.
While our Fixed Wireless solution provides reliable performance comparable to fiber-based solutions, there are a few factors that can affect the availability and quality of your service, including poor weather conditions. We use tools to engineer the link adjusting distance and equipment size to mitigate the rain affects by region.
