Fixed Wireless

3G wireless provides the option of receiving the strongest signal of four of the largest wireless services in the country. This is important because each location is unique in which wireless provider provides the strongest signal. With 3G service, the customer location is tested for which provider offers the strongest signal, then the signal is locked in to the tower of the provider with the strongest signal. Signal strength for fixed wireless averages about 500 kilobits per second (kbps) upload, and more than 1000 kbps download. Fixed wireless can be used several different ways. For small companies, or home businesses, it can be used as the primary bandwidth source. Because it provides a completely redundant source of bandwidth, for larger companies, fixed wireless is used as an excellent backup bandwidth source. The reason fixed wireless is favored for backup bandwidth is that it is not received through copper phone lines unlike DSL or T1. If the phone lines to a building go down, this will not affect the wireless signal. Another advantage of fixed wireless is that it is provisioned (activated) in an average of three days. For customers who must have T1 or higher bandwidth, but cannot wait the average 45 work days that it takes to provision T1, fixed wireless serves as an excellent alternative during the interim. Fixed wireless is priced differently for emergency (month to month), backup bandwidth, or as a primary bandwidth source (one year contract minimum). For companies which need higher bandwidth than is provided by wireless, T1, bonded T1, or ethernet might be preferred options.
