FiberWireless

FiberWireless refers to a type of fixed wireless access technology that utilizes millimeter wave frequencies to deliver broadband internet services. Unlike traditional fiber optic cables that are physically laid underground or on poles, FiberWireless transmits data wirelessly from a base station to a small antenna installed at the customer's premises. This antenna then connects to the user's router, providing internet access. The "fiber" in FiberWireless refers to the high-speed fiber optic backhaul connecting the base station to the internet network, enabling it to deliver fiber-like speeds over the wireless link.

This technology is often deployed in areas where laying physical fiber is cost-prohibitive or logistically challenging, such as rural locations or dense urban environments where trenching is difficult. FiberWireless solutions aim to provide a competitive alternative to fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) by offering comparable download and upload speeds with lower installation costs and faster deployment times. Key components include the base station, which broadcasts the signal, and the customer premises equipment (CPE), typically a small antenna and modem. The use of higher frequency bands, such as millimeter waves, allows for greater bandwidth and thus higher speeds, but can be susceptible to environmental obstructions like heavy rain or foliage. Network operators choose FiberWireless to expand their service offerings and reach a wider customer base more efficiently.
