WISP & Fixed Wireless

Broadband without the trench. We design, build, and run fixed wireless networks – RF planning, towers, backhaul, core, and billing – so you can light up coverage in weeks, not months, across CBRS and licensed spectrum.

Why fixed wireless

Reach where fiber cannot.

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) delivers broadband over radio between a sectorized base station and a fixed antenna at the premises. There is no trench and no drop cable, so a site goes live in a fraction of the time and cost of a fiber build. Typical throughput runs from about 100 to 400 Mbps on 5G-class gear and up to roughly 1 Gbps on mmWave, with latency near 50 to 70 ms – inside the NTIA and BEAD threshold of 100 ms or less. We engineer the link budgets, spectrum plan, and core so the network performs and scales.

  • Full-stack build. RF planning, towers, PtP and PtMP backhaul, network core, and billing/OSS – one team, one design.
  • Right spectrum for the job. Unlicensed 5, 6, and 60 GHz, SAS-coordinated CBRS at 3.5 GHz, and licensed 2.5 GHz plus mmWave.
  • Engineered coverage. Fresnel-zone modelling, sector loading, MU-MIMO and beamforming – designed for real throughput, not brochure figures.

What we build

The whole network, engineered.

From the first site survey to subscriber billing – every layer of a fixed wireless operator, designed to grow.

RF planning & coverage design

Terrain modelling, link budgets, and Fresnel-zone analysis with at least 60 percent clearance for line-of-sight paths. We plan sectorized base stations, MU-MIMO, and beamforming to maximise real throughput per site, then predict coverage before a mast goes up.

Link budgetsFresnel modellingSector planningBeamforming

PtP & PtMP topologies

Point-to-point links for backhaul and point-to-multipoint sectors for subscriber access, sized for concurrency.

Tower & rooftop deployment

Mast, rooftop, and structure work with power, grounding, and mounting for base stations and radios.

Backhaul & spectrum engineering

High-capacity backhaul over licensed and unlicensed bands, with spectrum planning across 5, 6, and 60 GHz unlicensed, SAS-coordinated CBRS at 3.5 GHz, and licensed 2.5 GHz plus mmWave. We manage interference, channel reuse, and capacity so aggregation keeps pace with the edge.

Network core & routing

Carrier-grade routing, IP address management, and quality-of-service policy for a stable, scalable core.

Billing & OSS

Subscriber provisioning, plan enforcement, billing, and operational support systems that run the business.

Questions

Fixed wireless, answered.

What is fixed wireless, and how does it compare to fiber?
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) delivers broadband over radio between a base station and a fixed antenna at the premises, so there is no trench and no drop cable. Typical throughput runs from about 100 to 400 Mbps on 5G-class gear and up to roughly 1 Gbps on mmWave. Fiber still wins on raw capacity and latency, but FWA reaches homes and sites in weeks rather than months and often at a fraction of the civil-works cost, which makes it ideal for rural, exurban, and hard-to-trench areas.
Do we need clear line of sight?
For the best throughput you want line of sight with at least about 60 percent of the first Fresnel zone clear, since obstructions in that zone cut signal even when you can see the far end. Lower unlicensed and CBRS bands tolerate some near-line-of-sight and light foliage, while 60 GHz and mmWave effectively require a clean path. During the site survey we model terrain, obstructions, and Fresnel clearance before we commit to a link budget.
What is CBRS?
CBRS is the Citizens Broadband Radio Service in the 3.5 GHz band. Access is coordinated by a Spectrum Access System (SAS) that assigns channels dynamically, so operators get near-licensed performance without buying a license. The lower frequency propagates well, supporting reach of up to roughly 6 miles with good non-line-of-sight behavior, which makes CBRS a strong backbone for a fixed wireless network.
Is fixed wireless good enough for VoIP and gaming?
Yes, with the right design. Typical FWA latency is about 50 to 70 ms, comfortably inside the NTIA and BEAD program threshold of 100 ms or less used for served locations. That range supports VoIP, video calls, and most online gaming. We engineer for stable jitter and low loss with proper spectrum planning, sector loading, and quality-of-service policies on the core.
Can you build a whole WISP, including towers, core, and billing?
Yes. We handle the full stack: RF and coverage planning, tower and rooftop deployment, sectorized base stations, PtP and PtMP backhaul, the network core with routing and IP address management, and the operational layer including subscriber provisioning, billing, and OSS. We work with the leading fixed wireless platforms, including Tarana, Cambium, Ubiquiti, Mimosa, and MikroTik, so the network is built to grow rather than be rebuilt.
