On the social evolutionary scale, the internet has to rank as one of the most radical innovations of the 4th Industrial Revolution. It has completely changed everyday life (unless you’re a hermit on a remote island or live in some rural backwater location). But even then, access to the internet is coming your way; either by satellite or via a fixed wireless Internet provider that is going the extra mile to connect you to the rest of civilization.
The benefits of a fixed wireless ISP (Internet Service Provider) is the answer to mitigating FOMO - no matter where you are.
There are probably two groups of people whose ‘antennae’ are up around the industry lingo related to internet connections and bandwidth solutions:
If you’re in the latter group, you don’t need to read further. You can simply visit Desert Winds to determine if we are in your area. (Just pop in your zip code).
If you’re in the first group, please read on. What follows could literally change your life.
Without getting too technical, fixed wireless internet is a broadband internet solution, often tailored to small-towns or remote areas, that connects one location - a farm, homestead, forest cabin, house, school or business - by using radio waves/signals to deliver high-speed internet access. In layman's terms, that means you will need an antenna. (This basically allows you to live and work (almost) anywhere).
Unlike older wired connections - like DSL or cable - fixed wireless internet doesn't require physical cables to be laid in the ground or connected into your home or business. Instead, it uses wireless technology to directly transmit internet signals from a nearby base station to an antenna installed on your property.
Where this impacts you ‘on the ground’ is that the speeds offered by a fixed wireless ISP are as fast as the ‘big-city’ speeds provided by fiber optic connections. Whether you’re surfing Reddit for memes or running a business, you can rest assured that your internet connection download speeds will reach from 10 Mbps to 400 Mbps – just choose the plan that’s right for you.
The challenge for those living in more rural areas is accessing reliable and uninterrupted high-speed internet. This is where fixed wireless internet comes to the rescue.
Bridging the connectivity gap:
Fixed wireless internet is a game-changer for rural areas where laying cables or infrastructure can be both expensive and impractical due to the vast distances and insufficient population density of homes and businesses. Access to the services and plans of a reputable fixed wireless ISP offers residents in these areas fast and reliable internet connections without the need for costly infrastructure installations (and disruptions).
In the past, rural areas often had to settle for much slower internet speeds, rendering it difficult to stream videos, download large files, or engage in high-res online activities. Fixed wireless internet - which Desert Winds brings to the market in the form of Desert Winds ‘HiFi’ internet offering - delivers high-speed internet to even the most remote locations, allowing residents to enjoy the same online.
For businesses in more remote areas, a reliable internet connection is vital for day-to-day operations. Fixed wireless internet does not leave you out in the cold but enables you to access cloud services, video conferencing, online transactions, and other essential online tools without interruption. This helps increase productivity and competitiveness, allowing your businesses to thrive - no matter where you choose to set up.
For businesses operating in remote locations, running physical cables to connect to the internet is costly. A fixed wireless ISP eliminates the need for expensive infrastructure installations, making it a more affordable connectivity option for remote businesses.
Setting up a fixed wireless internet connection is relatively quick and straightforward compared to traditional wired connections. As long as there is line-of-sight between the base station and the antenna, the installation process can be completed the next day. This flexibility allows remote businesses to get up and running faster, saving valuable time and resources.
Fixed wireless internet offers scalability, meaning businesses can easily upgrade their connection speeds as their needs grow. This scalability makes it ideal for remote businesses that experience fluctuating demands or require a scalable internet solution. Additionally, fixed wireless connections tend to be more reliable than satellite internet, which weather conditions can adversely affect.
