Refers to point-to-point transmission through the air between stationary devices.
A general term used to describe broadband wireless technologies where the access point is attached to a building or tower. Canopy and WiMAX are two examples of fixed wireless networks.
IKANO's exclusive fixed wireless service runs 10-20 times faster than DSL, cable modem, or other competing wireless services. Free-flowing digital video appears almost instantly with no annoying buffering. Fixed wireless saves time and money by dramatically reducing the time subscribers spend online. Unlike DSL or cable, wireless can support a large number of users on a corporate network. Wireless broadband uses electromagnetic airwaves (radio or infrared) to communicate information from one point to another without relying on any physical connection.
Refers to wireless devices or systems that are situated in fixed locations, such as an office or home, as opposed to devices that are mobile, such as cell phones. Fixed wireless devices normally derive their electrical power from utility mains, as opposed to portable wireless devices that normally derive their power from batteries. The point-to-point signal transmissions occur through the air over a terrestrial microwave platform rather than through copper or fiber cables; therefore, fixed wireless does not require satellite feeds or local phone service. The advantages of fixed wireless include the ability to connect with users in remote areas without the need for laying new cables and the capacity for broad bandwidth that is not impeded by fiber or cable capacities.
Service that is provided wirelessly to a device that is located in a single place and not mobile.
Refers to the operation of wireless devices or systems in fixed locations such as homes and offices. Fixed wireless technologies are increasingly being used as a fast and economic way to roll out modern telephone services, since it avoids the need for wires.
is a method for provisioning a network segment between two fixed locations using wireless devices or systems, whether analogue or digital. Fixed wireless devices normally derive their electrical power from utility mains, as opposed to portable wireless devices that normally derive their power from batteries. Most fixed wireless systems rely on digital radio transmitters placed on rooftops, aerial towers or other elevated locations and achieve point-to-point signal transmission via a microwave platform. Unlike a satellite system, fixed wireless is a terrestrial technology.
With fixed wireless Internet access, specific stationary devices have the capacity to get online despite being completely unconnected to the copper or fiber traditionally associated with broadband. These fixed locations consist of office buildings or other permanent locations instead of mobile devices with wireless access. This allows for large amounts of traffic and high bandwidth capabilities without the hassle and limitations of hooking up expensive cables. The current IEEE standard for fixed wireless that has been adopted is 802.16-2004.
These "computers" are wireless devices or systems that are in fixed locations, such as an office or home, as opposed to devices that are mobile, such as cell phones or personal data assistants (PDAs).
Point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless networking where the antennas on both sides of the network are fixed to a permanent location (see mobile wireless and nomadic wireless)
The operation of wireless devices in a specific location, such as an office. This term is usually reserved for devices that need to be plugged in to operate, such as a desktop computer. If it runs off a battery, it's not fixed wireless.
