Fixed Wireless technology is flexible, allowing it to service businesses of all sizes in many industries. No matter the organization’s purpose, fixed wireless internet is adaptable and reliable.
Temporary internet service can help events like concerts, festivals, and productions run smoothly. Fixed wireless helps organizers run ticketing and behind-the-scenes work to point-of-sale machines, attendee WiFi, and uploading.
The healthcare industry needs a reliable internet connection 24/7. Without it, accessing and sharing patient records can be harder, if not impossible. Fixed wireless internet can work as a primary or backup internet connection for hospitals and other medical facilities.
Jobsites are a fluid environment requiring an internet solution that can be dynamic. A fixed wireless connection can move alongside your office trailer. Many construction sites don’t have an official USPS address, making them non-serviceable for many traditional carriers but perfect for fixed wireless.
Hotels need a reliable and scalable internet solution. Their internet needs depend on factors like how busy they are, and whether or not they are hosting a conference. Fixed wireless has scalable speeds that don’t require extra equipment. All you need to do is call to upgrade your speeds.

Fixed wireless internet is a type of broadband service that delivers a high-speed connection using radio signals rather than physical cables. A small antenna is installed on your building and communicates directly with a nearby tower or Point of Presence (PoP) operated by the provider. Because the connection goes from a fixed point on your building to a fixed point on the provider’s infrastructure, it is stable and consistent, unlike mobile internet, which is designed for moving devices and subject to more variability. EarthLink Business fixed wireless supports symmetrical speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps and is backed by a 99.999% uptime service level agreement.*
No. Fixed wireless and cellular internet are different technologies with different performance profiles. Fixed wireless uses a stationary, line-of-sight signal between a fixed antenna on your building and a provider’s nearby PoP. It does not use a cellular network. Cellular internet relies on 4G or 5G mobile networks designed for devices on the move, which introduces greater variability in speed and reliability. Fixed wireless also comes with a formal service level agreement (a 99.999% uptime guarantee_ that cellular connections do not offer. For businesses, the practical differences are significant: fixed wireless delivers consistent, dedicated throughput, while cellular speeds vary based on tower load and signal conditions.
EarthLink Business fixed wireless supports symmetrical speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps, depending on location and plan.* Symmetrical means upload speed matches download speed, which is important for businesses that send as much data as they receive. Video conferencing, cloud backup, VoIP systems, and large file uploads all depend on upload throughput, not just download speed. Speed availability depends on proximity to an EarthLink PoP and line-of-sight conditions at your location. An EarthLink account manager can confirm available speed tiers for your specific address or GPS coordinates.
Most EarthLink Business fixed wireless installations complete in 7–14 days from initial site survey to service activation.* The process has four steps: a free quote, a site survey to confirm line of sight, rooftop antenna installation using non-penetrating mounts, and activation. No trenching, no cable runs, and no major construction is required. This timeline is significantly shorter than fiber or cable deployments, which can take weeks to months depending on permitting, infrastructure availability, and construction logistics.
Yes. EarthLink Business can deploy fixed wireless at any location serviceable by GPS coordinates, including sites with no official USPS street address. Traditional internet carriers typically require a street address to confirm service eligibility, which excludes active construction sites, remote job trailers, temporary event venues, and rural facilities. Fixed wireless removes that barrier. Service can be established if there is a clear line of sight between your location and an EarthLink PoP.
Fixed wireless uses line-of-sight radio signals, which can be reduced in intensity by heavy rain, dense fog, or snow accumulation on the antenna in some conditions. This is called rain fade. EarthLink Business network infrastructure is engineered with redundancy and signal strength margins to maintain connectivity through typical weather events. Our 99.999% uptime SLA, which translates to less than six minutes of downtime per year, reflects that engineering standard. For businesses in weather-exposed environments or those running mission-critical operations, EarthLink also offers 4G LTE backup as an automatic failover option if the primary signal is interrupted.
