What is Air Fiber Internet Technology and How it Works?

Air Fiber Technology is the latest internet technology everyone is talking about! It is basically broadband with high speed delivered wirelessly instead of buried cables. The Air Fiber uses fixed Wireless Internet technology where wireless communication technology is used to transmit data between an internet service provider (ISP) and a subscriber’s location. Instead of relying on traditional wired connections like fiber optic cables or copper lines, fixed wireless technology utilizes radio signals to establish a connection.

What is Air Fiber Internet Technology?

In fixed wireless systems, a network of antennas is set up to transmit and receive data wirelessly. The ISP installs an antenna or a small dish on the subscriber’s building, such as a home or office. This antenna communicates with a nearby base station or tower that is connected to the ISP’s network infrastructure.

The Air Fiber has the bandwidth to connect hundreds of homes to a high-speed broadband within a short span of time!

How does Air Fiber Technology work?

The base station receives the wireless signal from the subscriber’s antenna and relays it back to the ISP through a wired connection, such as fiber optic cables. Similarly, data from the ISP is transmitted wirelessly from the base station to the subscriber’s antenna, providing the internet connection.

Fixed wireless internet technology can provide high-speed internet access in areas where laying physical cables like fiber optic or traditional copper lines is difficult or costly. It is often used in rural or remote regions, where the population density is low, making it economically unviable to deploy traditional wired infrastructure.
