Imagine a rain-soaked afternoon, strong winds, and lightning flashing across the sky. In such a weather, we're sure that your first thought are not "Oh, how amazing is the weather!" rather they are "Ugh, my internet is going to go down again!"
Internet plays a huge role in almost all our activities. Whether we are working from home, texting, on calls, in meetings, watching something online or browsing the web. There is so much depending on the internet and downtime really causes a lot of frustration.
Many people think that internet downtime during a bad weather is normal. Well, we are here to tell you that its not! It specially isn't the case if you have fixed wireless internet service.
Can fixed wireless internet stand strong against the nature? Let's explore how and how well it is done.
Fixed Wireless vs. Satellite Internet:
The Distance:
Before we dive into the storm, let's understand the setup. Satellite internet is like a long-distance conversation with a satellite around 20,000 miles in the sky.
On the contrary, fixed wireless internet connects you to a nearby tower within a mere 10-mile radius. It's like having a casual chat with a neighbor across the street instead of trying to communicate with stars in the far-off galaxy.
The Advantages of Fixed Wireless Internet:
Satellite Internet's signals travel vast distances, through the vastness of space and the unpredictable atmospheric conditions that can affect their reliability.
On the other hand, fixed wireless internet's advantage lies in its proximity. The tower that beams your internet signal is close by.
This closeness means fewer hurdles for the signal to overcome, resulting in lower latency and a more stable connection, even when weather conditions aren't at their best.

Does Rain Impact Fixed Wireless Internet?
In most cases, fixed wireless internet provides a reliable connection despite rain and storms.
No Issues of Line of Sight
A fixed wireless tower typically remains well below storm clouds because it is as tall as a typical cell phone tower.
This means that those radio waves can maintain a line of sight with your receiver even in bad weather, unlike a satellite located high in the sky.
Resistance Against Impact of Rain Fade
Fixed wireless towers are covered by clouds, but they are still subject to rain. It's possible that something known as rain fade will affect the radio signals.
Depending on the radiowave frequencies, rain fade occurs when moisture in the air, such as rain, humidity, or fog, weakens the signal.
It is possible that precipitation could affect the 11 GHz licensed frequencies used to transmit the connection from tower to tower, even though the frequencies used to connect customers to towers are not subject to rain fade.
Our equipment is made to be extremely reliable and take rain and high humidity events into account in order to combat this. This means that neither a heavy afternoon downpour nor a morning mist should slow down or affect your internet connection.
Embracing Reliability with Fixed Wireless Internet:
Fixed wireless internet stands tall when DSL and satellite falter. With speeds backed by minimal latency, it's a reliable companion whether you're streaming or working.
In a world where connectivity is key, fixed wireless internet is a game-changer. In areas lacking options, it's a beacon of hope. Faster than DSL, reliable than satellite, it's your steadfast digital companion.
