How Does it Work?
We're using a 2.4GHz technology that is fixed wireless. What this means is that a small antenna must be mounted near your house (on an existing tower, pole, or to the side of your home/building). A basic line of sight is necessary to our tower. Our signal is not affected by weather like many DirecTV or Satellite Internet services.
The antenna is about 12 inches square and about 4 inches deep (pictured right). One Ethernet cable will run from your PC or Router outside to this mounted antenna.
In order for the wireless access to work properly, a basic line of sight must be available to our wireless tower. Geography and elevation both play a role in signal strength, but weather does not.
