Frequently Asked Questions
What is wireless internet?
As the name suggests, wireless internet (aka “WiFi”) is a way of connecting to the internet without using any kind of cable. It enables wireless access via microwave signals rather than wires. Think of it as taking the concept of a WiFi hotspot or your WiFi at home and expanding that to an entire area where no physical fiber links are trenched.
What are the advantages of wireless internet?
Not only does wireless internet provide an ideal backup link for the head office company where redundancy is critical, but it is also an efficient solution to use in remote and rural areas where otherwise it might be difficult to establish an internet connection.
Microwave internet connections generally provide lower latency than satellite or cellular networks can – one of the better solutions for businesses which use VoIP. This results in more reliable access and the rapid transferring and receiving of high volumes of data. And, of course, the lack of wiring means installing wireless broadband makes it a hassle-free process.
Furthermore, wireless broadband can be used effectively in residential estates and office buildings where ‘last mile’ fibre coverage is not yet available or is not economically viable to install. Microwave technology can help users maintain faster internet speed without having to share capacity with others over cellular signals.
Does the weather impact the wireless internet?
Yes, if it is not planned, installed and deployed correctly by your internet service provider. With a scientific approach to installing wireless links (selecting carrier grade equipment, bandwidth requirements, licensed spectrum selection, terrain, rain fade, appropriate ducting etc).
Is wireless internet safe?
Yes. All wireless internet links must be configured and adhere to all the relevant health and safety protocols. To this end, there are strict global standards in place.
