Your Guide to Understanding Fixed Wireless Installation

When fiber isn’t available and satellite just won’t cut it, fixed wireless internet has become the go-to solution for delivering business-grade connectivity to hard-to-reach locations. Whether it’s a drilling site, a remote production facility, or a wind or solar farm, fixed wireless delivers the speed, reliability, and low latency modern businesses demand. 

But what does it take to get a fixed wireless connection up and running today? Let’s break down how BeyondReach deploys fixed wireless for businesses that can’t afford downtime. 

How Does Fixed Wireless Installation Work? 

The technology behind fixed wireless has evolved. Higher capacity radios, smarter antenna arrays, and better network management tools mean faster deployments and more resilient connections than ever before. Connecting your business with fixed wireless involves two main steps: Pre-installation site visit and installation of fixed wireless equipment.

1. Pre-Installation Site Visit 

Every project starts with a site survey. BeyondReach technicians conduct an inspection to check for clear line-of-sight (LOS) to one of our network base stations. 

We evaluate: 

  • Terrain challenges 
  • Building elevations 
  • Obstructions like trees, hills, or nearby structures 
  • Historical weather conditions that could impact signal stability 

If LOS isn’t immediately available, we’ll engineer a solution, often using custom mounts, relay points, or temporary poles for rapid deployment.

2. Equipment Installation

Once LOS is confirmed, we move to installation. A typical fixed wireless setup will include: 

  • Antenna: Also known as a subscriber, an antenna receives radio signals from the nearest base station. Mounted on a pole, rooftop, or platform, the antenna communicates with the network infrastructure to deliver dedicated internet connection. 
  • Industrial Router: Built to handle harsh conditions and multiple connected devices, ideal for remote monitoring tools, VoIP, and more. 
  • Outdoor-Rated Ethernet Cabling: Runs between your antenna and router to deliver uninterrupted data flow. 
  • Surge Protection; Safeguards the network against lightning strikes and power surges common in remote or exposed environments

How Long Does Fixed Wireless Installation Take? 

It’s likely the first question that’ll come to your mind when you think about getting a fixed wireless connection for your business, and installation is typically complete within a week or two. Install times may vary, especially if a tower build is needed.
