How does fixed-wireless service work?
It gets its name from the fact that its signals are delivered from stationary, or “fixed,” antennas and towers to antennas mounted on buildings, homes and other structures. The systems use microwave radio frequencies to deliver Internet-access speeds of up to 1.5 megabits per second (mbps) compared to the 56 kilobits per second (kbps) that a dial-up modem offer.
