Fixed Wireless

High-Speed Internet Without Waiting for Fiber Construction

Fiber isn't available at every address, and construction timelines can stretch for months. California Telecom's Fixed Wireless delivers enterprise-grade internet connectivity in days — not months — using point-to-point or point-to-multipoint wireless technology with speeds up to 1 Gbps.

How It Works

Understanding Fixed Wireless

How Fixed Wireless Works

Fixed wireless transmits data via licensed or unlicensed radio frequencies between a rooftop antenna at your building and a nearby tower or point of presence. Unlike cable or DSL, it doesn't require underground construction. A radio on your roof communicates with a base station, which connects to the provider's fiber backbone. The result is near-fiber performance with symmetrical speeds up to 10 Gbps — deployed in days, not months.

Why Choose Fixed Wireless

Fixed wireless is the ideal solution when fiber isn't available, construction timelines are too long, or you need a diverse backup path. Licensed spectrum deployments are immune to interference from consumer WiFi networks and deliver enterprise-grade reliability. With symmetrical speeds, it's perfect for VoIP, video conferencing, cloud backups, and real-time applications. It also serves as an excellent redundancy layer when paired with fiber via SD-WAN.

Key Benefits

Deployment in 5–15 business days vs. months for fiber
Speeds up to 1 Gbps symmetrical
Low latency suitable for VoIP and video conferencing
No underground construction or permits required
Ideal as primary service or fiber backup
SLA-backed uptime guarantees
Weather-resistant equipment designed for California conditions

When Fiber Isn't an Option

Many business locations — industrial parks, multi-tenant buildings with uncooperative landlords, temporary sites, and rural areas — don't have access to fiber. Fixed wireless bridges this gap by transmitting data via licensed or unlicensed radio frequencies between a rooftop antenna and a nearby tower. The result is near-fiber performance without any construction delays.

Enterprise-Grade Performance

Modern fixed wireless technology delivers symmetrical speeds up to 1 Gbps with latency comparable to fiber (typically 2–5ms). Licensed spectrum deployments are immune to interference from consumer WiFi networks. Our links are engineered for 99.99% availability with fade margin calculations that account for weather conditions.

Rapid Deployment

From site survey to live connection typically takes 5–15 business days. We handle line-of-sight analysis, equipment installation, link commissioning, and integration with your network. No permits, no trenching, no waiting for utility locates. For businesses in a time crunch, fixed wireless can serve as your primary connection while a fiber build completes.

Redundancy and Failover

Fixed wireless is an ideal secondary connection for businesses that depend on continuous connectivity. Pair it with your existing fiber circuit for automatic failover via SD-WAN, or use it as your primary connection with LTE backup. Diversity in connection technology (fiber + wireless + cellular) provides maximum resilience against outages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does weather affect fixed wireless performance?

Modern licensed-spectrum fixed wireless technology is designed to operate reliably in all weather conditions, including rain and fog. Our engineers build fade margins into every link design to maintain performance during adverse weather. In California's mild climate, weather-related disruptions are extremely rare.

Do I need line-of-sight to a tower?

Yes, fixed wireless requires a clear line of sight between your rooftop antenna and our transmitter. During our site survey, we perform a line-of-sight analysis and identify the optimal antenna placement. In most urban and suburban California locations, suitable tower infrastructure is nearby.

What speeds are available?

We offer symmetrical speeds from 50 Mbps to 1 Gbps depending on distance, line of sight, and spectrum availability. We recommend the optimal configuration during our free site survey.
