Airband’s Broadband Fixed-Wireless for Business in Dallas Is Different from Wi-Fi or Wireline Service

Airband is a broadband provider for businesses in Dallas. Unlike wireline ISPs, we use a fixed-wireless network to deliver our service. A fixed-wireless network differs from both Wi-Fi and wireline service in important ways.

Wi-Fi is the type of wireless broadband that people are most familiar with. With Wi-Fi, a wireline connection is plugged into a wireless router, which beams its signal to all wireless-enabled devices in the area. Some Wi-Fi networks are protected and can only be accessed by those with the correct permissions and passwords. Others are open access networks that allow all users in the area to connect to the Internet through the wireless service. This type of wireless connection, also called a hot-spot, is the type used in cafes and airports that wish to offer free broadband to their customers.

Wireline service is also more familiar to most people. This is the type of service that you get through a traditional ISP, where data is transmitted through cables that are run from the nearest junction to your home or office. Phone and cable companies offer wireline service in both consumer and business grade options.

Airband’s Broadband Fixed-Wireless for Business in Dallas Is Secure and Reliable

Fixed-wireless, on the other hand, uses wireless technology to deliver the last mile of service. Instead of having cables run to your business, the signal is beamed to a subscriber unit on the roof. The subscriber unit is connected to your telco closet through a wired connection that plugs directly into your router with an Ethernet connector. Unlike Wi-Fi, fixed-wireless is a closed system. Only Airband and the company that manufactures the subscriber units are aware of the necessary information to connect to the network. This makes your fixed-wireless broadband connection as secure and reliable as wireline service.
