A ppt about fixed wireless system, characteristics and advantages

1. Fixed Wireless
Systems
Broadband Installation

2. Fixed Wireless Systems:
Fixed wireless is a type of
broadband network that
delivers internet access to
a specific location (e.g., a
home, building, or tower)
via radio signals, without
the need for physical
cables like fiber or DSL.
Fixed Wireless Systems
are broadband
technologies that deliver
internet connectivity using
radio signals between two
or more stationary (fixed)
locations. They eliminate
the need for traditional
cabling, making them ideal
for areas where wired
infrastructure is limited or

3. Instead of digging up the
ground to install wires, they
use radio signals (like Wi-Fi) to
send internet from a tower to
a house or building.

4. 🔌 Wired Internet:
• Needs cables buried in the
ground or connected to
poles.
• Usually faster and more
stable.
• Takes longer to install,
especially in faraway
places.
📡 Fixed Wireless Internet:
• Uses antennas and signals
through the air.
• Good for rural or remote
areas with no cables.
• Can be faster to set up, but
might be weaker in bad
weather.

5. • Uses Radio Frequency (RF) transmission
→ It sends signals through the air using radio waves,
kind of like how radios or Wi-Fi work.
• Requires line-of-sight (LOS) between
antennas
→ The two antennas (the ones sending and receiving
signals) must see each other clearly—no big trees or
buildings in the way.
• Involves fixed locations (not mobile)
→ The antennas don’t move. They stay in one place, like
Characteristics

6. • Configured as point-to-point or point-to-
multipoint
→ Point-to-point: One antenna connects to just one other
antenna (like a bridge).
→ Point-to-multipoint: One antenna connects to many
antennas (like a main station talking to many homes).
• Equipment includes antennas, transceivers,
towers
• Provides broadband-speed connectivity
Characteristics

7. Advantages
1.Quick to Set Up
• You don’t need to dig the ground or install
long cables. Just set up antennas and it’s
ready!
1.Saves Money in Far Places
• It’s cheaper, especially in mountains, islands,
or provinces where laying cables is hard and
expensive.

8. Advantages
3. Easy to Add More People
• If more homes want internet, it’s simple to connect
them by adding antennas or signals no major
construction needed!
4. Great for Emergencies
• After a typhoon or earthquake, if cables are broken,
fixed wireless can be used quickly to bring internet
back.
5. Better for Nature
• Since it uses fewer wires and digging, it’s kinder to

9. Limitations
1.Line-of-sight dependency – obstacles like
trees or buildings the signal can get weaker or
blocked.
2.Weather interference – rain, fog, or storms
may affect signal quality
3.Limited by spectrum availability and
regulation
The system uses special airwaves (called spectrum)

10. Limitations
4. Not as Strong as Fiber Internet
– Fiber internet uses cables and is usually
faster and more stable.
– Fixed wireless can be less reliable, especially
in bad weather or busy areas.
5. Gets Slower with Too Many Users

12. 1. Connecting Rural and Remote Communities
2. Disaster Response and Emergency Recovery
3. Business Connectivity and Backup
4. Interconnecting Schools, Government Offices,
and Campuses
5. Temporary and Mobile Installations
6. Fixed Wireless Access for Homes (as an
Alternative to Fiber)
Applications of Fixed Wireless Systems

13. Explanation:
In faraway places such as mountains, islands, or provinces,
installing fiber-optic cables can be extremely costly and time-
consuming. Fixed wireless allows internet providers to beam
signals to homes and villages using towers and antennas —
quickly and at lower cost.
Why it matters:
It helps bring education, online services, and communication to
people who otherwise have no internet access.
Example:
A barangay in the mountains receives internet through an
antenna installed on a hilltop tower.
1. Providing Internet in
Rural and Remote Areas

14. Explanation:
After typhoons, earthquakes, or other disasters, wired
communication lines are often damaged. Fixed wireless can be
set up quickly to restore internet and help rescue operations.
Why it matters:
It enables communication between hospitals, rescue teams,
and affected communities when it’s most needed.
Example:
After a flood, relief workers use portable antennas to connect
evacuation centers to the internet for communication and
coordination.
2. Emergency and Disaster Response

15. Explanation:
Companies often need reliable and fast internet — and
sometimes a backup system in case their main fiber
connection fails. Fixed wireless links can connect offices
directly or serve as a backup.
Why it matters:
It helps businesses avoid downtime, keep operations running,
and save money on infrastructure.
Example:
A bank uses a fixed wireless link between two buildings to
ensure 24/7 connection for transactions.
3. Business and Enterprise Connectivity

16. Explanation:
In large campuses or towns, fixed wireless systems can connect
multiple buildings wirelessly instead of using underground
cables.
Why it matters:
It reduces cost and setup time while allowing multiple
departments or schools to share the same network and internet
connection.
Example:
A university connects all its buildings using one central wireless
tower.
4. Connecting Schools
and Government Buildings

17. Explanation:
For short-term locations such as concerts, festivals,
construction sites, or temporary offices, installing permanent
internet lines is not practical. Fixed wireless can be installed
quickly and removed afterward.
Why it matters:
It provides internet access wherever and whenever it’s needed
— without waiting for months of installation.
Example:
A construction company uses fixed wireless to connect its on-
site office to headquarters.
5. Temporary Locations
(Events, Construction Sites, etc.)

18. Explanation:
In places where fiber or cable internet is not yet available,
homes can receive internet directly from a nearby tower via a
small receiver.
Why it matters:
It gives families access to online learning, remote work,
entertainment, and communication.
Example:
A family in a suburban area uses a rooftop antenna to get
internet from a 5G tower nearby.
