Business fixed wireless delivers dedicated internet over licensed microwave radio — a rooftop antenna instead of a fiber trench. It installs in days rather than months, reaches buildings fiber can’t, and provides true physical diversity as a backup circuit. We compare fixed wireless and fiber options across 200+ carriers at your address, free.
A licensed-spectrum radio link connects your rooftop to the provider’s nearest fiber-fed tower or hub — typically within a few miles. Because the spectrum is licensed (not shared Wi-Fi bands), the link is engineered for consistent, interference-free performance, often with SLAs comparable to wireline DIA: symmetrical speeds, uptime commitments, and static IPs.
Speed to install: typically 5–10 business days versus 30–120+ for new fiber construction — a lifesaver for new offices, pop-ups, and expiring leases. Buildings fiber can’t reach affordably: when construction quotes come back at five figures, wireless often wins. True backup diversity: a wireless circuit shares no conduit, pole, or street path with your fiber — the failover that keeps working when a backhoe finds your fiber. Temporary and construction sites: full business connectivity without waiting for the build-out.
Licensed fixed wireless commonly delivers 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps+ symmetrical. Typical monthly pricing runs $200–$500 for 100 Mbps and $500–$1,200 for 500 Mbps–1 Gbps, varying with your metro, roof access, and distance to the provider’s hub. Multi-gig links are available in major markets.
Weather worries are mostly outdated: modern licensed links are engineered with signal margin for rain and snow, and reputable providers back them with the same SLAs as wireline circuits.
Coverage is metro-by-metro and rooftop-by-rooftop — line of sight to a hub is what matters. We check licensed fixed wireless availability alongside fiber and cable across 200+ carriers, so you see every real option for your address with SLAs and pricing side by side. Free — carriers pay us.
Typically 5-10 business days from signed order: a site survey confirms line of sight, then a rooftop radio is mounted and aligned. Compare that with 30-120+ days for new fiber construction.
Modern licensed microwave links are engineered with enough signal margin to ride through rain and snow, and business-grade providers back them with uptime SLAs. This is different from consumer satellite or unlicensed Wi-Fi bridges.
Yes, for many businesses: licensed links deliver symmetrical 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps+ with static IPs and SLAs. It is also the standard choice for backup, because it shares no physical path with wireline circuits.
