« Back to Glossary Index
Fixed wireless networking refers to the operation of wireless devices in fixed locations such as homes and offices. Fixed wireless devices usually derive their electrical power from utility mains, unlike mobile wireless devices, which tend to be battery powered.
Fixed wireless is the typical form of internet deployed in areas with no fiber internet infrastructure, mainly rural areas leveraging the growing high speed data throughput of cellular towers.
